At the winter meeting for 1881 invitations were presented to 

 tbe State Ilorticultural Society to hold summer conventions for 

 the consideration of horticultural subjects and the exhibition of 

 fruits and flowers in connection with the Northwestern Horti- 

 cultural Society at La Crosse, and with the Grand Chute Horti- 

 cultural Society at Appleton. These invitations were accepted, 

 and the executive committee were, by vote of the State Society, 

 instructed to make the necessary preparations, and to call the 

 respective meetings at such times as the local societies should 

 decide to be the best aJapted for the purpose. 



The time fixed upon by the Northwestern Society as the most 

 likely to be in the flush of the season for strawberries and roses 

 was June 22-24. After this date was announced, the development 

 of the season in that section was so rapid, that not only was the 

 main crop of berries gone, but even the last pickings were well 



nigh over.
