 CULTURE FOR 1904. 



(The following letter was addressed to members of the above com- 

 mittees a month previous to the annual meeting:) 



Dear Sir— Please prepare for the annual meeting of our society, De- 

 cember 7 and 8, 1904, a report of the condition of horticulture in your 

 district. We desire to obtain a full report from each district of the State. 

 The idea, being to learn the conditions of the different districts and the 

 state at large and devise, if possible, plans for a forward movement all 

 along the lino. Your assistance is indispensable in this instance. Per- 

 haps, from two to four pages of legal cap space would be about right for 

 the length. You might cover points of: 



1. General conditions. Is there any advancement or decadence in your 

 district In horticultural matters? 



2. Farm o-cliards and plantings. Are farms generally supplied with 

 orchards and fruit gardens? Arc llif-y well cared for? Why? Any new 

 plantings? Pariiculari550.
