  northern 
  nuts. 
  We 
  must 
  propagate 
  by 
  using 
  home 
  grown 
  material 
  ex- 
  

   clusively, 
  and 
  as 
  to 
  methods 
  of 
  propagation, 
  it 
  is 
  probable 
  that 
  we 
  can 
  

   follow 
  in 
  general 
  the 
  practice 
  of 
  the 
  southern 
  nurserjanan, 
  but 
  unques- 
  

   tionably 
  modifications 
  in 
  procedure 
  will 
  arise 
  out 
  of 
  the 
  sum 
  of 
  our 
  

   experience 
  which 
  will 
  tend 
  each 
  year 
  to 
  bring 
  a 
  larger 
  measure 
  of 
  

   success. 
  

  

  This 
  Association 
  will 
  perform 
  an 
  invaluable 
  service 
  in 
  collecting 
  

   these 
  various 
  experiences, 
  winnowing 
  the 
  sound 
  from 
  the 
  unsound, 
  and 
  

   disseminating 
  safe 
  deductions 
  and 
  reliable 
  principles 
  to 
  the 
  rapidly 
  in- 
  

   creasing 
  band 
  of 
  nut 
  culturists 
  throughout 
  the 
  region 
  of 
  its 
  activities. 
  

   Our 
  second 
  session 
  has 
  been 
  an 
  unqualified 
  success. 
  ]\Iay 
  this 
  meeting 
  

   be 
  surpassed 
  in 
  respect 
  to 
  enthusiasm 
  manifested, 
  experience 
  and 
  knowl- 
  

   edge 
  disseminated, 
  by 
  each 
  of 
  the 
  annual 
  conferences 
  to 
  be 
  held 
  in 
  the 
  

   3^ears 
  to 
  come. 
  

  

  President 
  Morris: 
  Discussion 
  as 
  to 
  the 
  next 
  place 
  of 
  meeting 
  is 
  in 
  

   order. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Rush 
  : 
  I 
  would 
  certainly 
  be 
  very 
  glad 
  to 
  entertain 
  the 
  North- 
  

   ern 
  Nut 
  Growers' 
  Association 
  at 
  Lancaster 
  City, 
  Pennsylvania, 
  and 
  

   will 
  assure 
  you 
  in 
  advance 
  that 
  I 
  will 
  give 
  you 
  the 
  best 
  hospitality 
  

   that 
  the 
  country 
  can 
  afford. 
  We 
  have 
  now 
  associated 
  with 
  the 
  walnut 
  

   interests 
  in 
  Lancaster 
  County 
  ^Ir. 
  Jones 
  of 
  Jeanerette, 
  Louisiana, 
  who 
  

   has 
  been 
  through 
  that 
  section 
  and 
  is 
  pleased 
  with 
  the 
  work 
  that 
  is 
  being 
  

   done 
  there. 
  I 
  think 
  it 
  may 
  be 
  policy 
  for 
  the 
  Association 
  to 
  meet 
  there. 
  

   We 
  can 
  have 
  our 
  night 
  session, 
  and 
  be 
  absent 
  several 
  hours 
  in 
  the 
  morn- 
  

   ing 
  and 
  look 
  over 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  work. 
  ]\Ir. 
  Jones 
  contemplates 
  topgraft- 
  

   ing 
  hickory 
  trees 
  at 
  his 
  new 
  home, 
  and 
  we 
  can 
  have 
  the 
  opportunity 
  of 
  

   seeing 
  with 
  what 
  success 
  he 
  meets. 
  

  

  The 
  Association 
  voted 
  to 
  accept 
  ]\Ir. 
  Rush's 
  invitation. 
  

  

  President 
  Morris 
  : 
  We 
  will 
  hear 
  the 
  report 
  of 
  the 
  Committee 
  on 
  

   Resolutions.
