  FROM 
  THE 
  SECRETARY 
  OF 
  THE 
  MINNESOTA 
  STATE 
  HORTICUL- 
  

   TURAL 
  SOCIETY 
  

  

  Dear 
  Sir: 
  — 
  

  

  I 
  am 
  addressing 
  you 
  as 
  secretary 
  of 
  the 
  Northern 
  Nut 
  Growers' 
  Association 
  

   in 
  hopes 
  that 
  you 
  can 
  refer 
  me 
  to 
  some 
  one, 
  perhaps 
  a 
  member 
  of 
  your 
  society, 
  

   in 
  this 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  country 
  to 
  whom 
  we 
  can 
  appeal 
  to 
  take 
  part 
  at 
  the 
  coming 
  

   annual 
  meeting 
  of 
  this 
  society 
  as 
  champion 
  of 
  nut 
  growing. 
  While 
  in 
  our 
  

   state 
  we 
  cannot 
  successfully 
  grow 
  pecans, 
  nor 
  perhaps 
  the 
  sweet 
  chestnut 
  and 
  

   some 
  other 
  nuts, 
  yet 
  some 
  varieties 
  do 
  well 
  with 
  us 
  and 
  a 
  larger 
  interest 
  in 
  

   their 
  growing 
  should 
  be 
  stimulated. 
  

  

  Yours 
  very 
  truly, 
  

  

  A. 
  W. 
  Latham, 
  Sec'y.
