  ''The 
  President 
  of 
  our 
  association. 
  Dr. 
  Robert 
  T. 
  Morris 
  of 
  New 
  

   York, 
  asks 
  me 
  to 
  suggest 
  to 
  you 
  that 
  it 
  might 
  be 
  well 
  for 
  your 
  firm, 
  or 
  

   some 
  member 
  of 
  it, 
  to 
  join 
  the 
  association, 
  to 
  be 
  present 
  at 
  the 
  meet- 
  

   ings 
  and 
  to 
  take 
  up 
  the 
  matter 
  of 
  raising 
  such 
  nursery 
  stock 
  as 
  is 
  in 
  

   constant 
  and 
  growing 
  demand 
  by 
  the 
  members. 
  We 
  need 
  to 
  be 
  in 
  

   touch 
  with 
  those 
  who 
  are 
  growing 
  things 
  commercially 
  and 
  if 
  they 
  are 
  

   present 
  at 
  the 
  meetings 
  they 
  will 
  know 
  what 
  we 
  want. 
  The 
  national 
  

   association 
  is 
  largely 
  made 
  up 
  of 
  professional 
  nurserymen."

  Two 
  nurserymen 
  have 
  accepted 
  the 
  invitation. 
  Evidently 
  the 
  others 
  

   do 
  not 
  yet 
  think 
  the 
  northern 
  nut 
  grower 
  one 
  whose 
  acquaintance 
  is 
  

   worth 
  cultivating. 
  "We 
  hope 
  to 
  convince 
  them 
  to 
  the 
  contrary. 
  

  

  The 
  following 
  letter 
  has 
  been 
  sent 
  to 
  the 
  state 
  horticulturists 
  of 
  the 
  

   northern 
  states 
  and 
  the 
  provinces 
  of 
  Canada. 
  

  

  "The 
  Northern 
  Nut 
  Growers' 
  Association 
  desires 
  your 
  interest, 
  

   your 
  aid 
  and 
  advice, 
  your 
  membership 
  and. 
  if 
  possible, 
  your 
  attendance 
  

   at 
  the 
  meetings. 
  

  

  It 
  would 
  also 
  be 
  of 
  help 
  to 
  the 
  association 
  in 
  its 
  work 
  if 
  you 
  would 
  

   give 
  it 
  information 
  of 
  those 
  persons 
  in 
  your 
  state 
  who 
  are 
  interested 
  in 
  

   nut 
  culture."
