134 Wisconsin State Horticultural Society. 



very glad to have representatives of sister societies meet with us, 

 and had recently voted to send delegates to the meetings of 

 such societies in neighboring state3, which he hoped would prove 

 pleasant and profitable to us all. He suggested that the secretary 

 be instructed to exchange such a number of reports as might be 

 desired. 



The secretary stated that he had already proposed such an ex- 

 change, both to the president and secretary of the Iowa society, 

 but had not been able to effect it, owing, he believed, to scarcity 

 of volumes on their part. There was only a small number 

 printed, and the home demand for them was so great that the 

 supply was soon exhausted. 



Senator Anderson informed the society that a bill had been in- 

 troduced in the legislature, asking for an appropriation of the 

 same amount as was received last year, and that it was very im- 

 portant that we should secure this to aid in carrying on our work. 

 He hoped the members would improve every opportunity to get 

 the members of the legislature, with whom they were acquainted, 

 to favor the passage of this bill. 



The committee on programme being called upon, presented 

 the following report :
