  extreme 
  northeastern 
  corner 
  of 
  Massachusetts. 
  (Specimens 
  were 
  shown 
  at 
  the 
  

   meeting.) 
  

  

  If 
  not 
  already 
  undertaken 
  by 
  the 
  Government 
  agents, 
  I 
  would 
  suggest 
  the 
  

   making 
  of 
  a 
  map 
  on 
  which 
  all 
  known 
  bearing 
  trees 
  of 
  the 
  Persian 
  walnut 
  in 
  the 
  

   East 
  should 
  be 
  located. 
  If 
  not 
  in 
  the 
  Government 
  plan 
  the 
  secretary 
  would 
  under- 
  

   take 
  to 
  make 
  such 
  a 
  map. 
  In 
  any 
  case 
  he 
  is 
  very 
  anxious 
  to 
  learn 
  as 
  much 
  as 
  

   possible 
  about 
  these 
  trees 
  and 
  he 
  urges 
  the 
  members 
  to 
  furnish 
  him 
  any 
  

   knowledge 
  about 
  them 
  that 
  they 
  may 
  have. 
  Circulars 
  to 
  be 
  filled 
  out 
  will 
  be 
  

   sent 
  on 
  application. 
  

  

  A 
  member 
  has 
  offered 
  to 
  give 
  $25 
  as 
  a 
  prize 
  to 
  be 
  offered 
  by 
  the 
  Association 
  

   for 
  the 
  best 
  shagbark 
  hickory 
  nut 
  sent 
  in. 
  This 
  offer 
  came 
  too 
  late 
  to 
  make 
  

   suitable 
  announcement 
  this 
  year, 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  too 
  valuable 
  not 
  to 
  be 
  accepted 
  and 
  

   encouraged, 
  and 
  I 
  would 
  suggest 
  that 
  either 
  a 
  special 
  committee 
  be 
  appointed 
  to 
  

   devise 
  means 
  of 
  offering 
  prizes, 
  with 
  the 
  above 
  mentioned 
  sum 
  of 
  $25 
  as 
  a 
  

   foundation, 
  or 
  that 
  the 
  matter 
  be 
  referred 
  to 
  the 
  committee 
  on 
  promising 
  

   seedlings. 
  

  

  The 
  Chairman 
  : 
  I 
  think 
  we 
  should 
  take 
  some 
  action 
  on 
  the 
  sec- 
  

   retary's 
  report. 
  It 
  is 
  before 
  the 
  association. 
  What 
  shall 
  we 
  do 
  

   about 
  it 
  ? 
  

  

  Professor 
  Smith 
  : 
  I 
  move 
  that 
  the 
  situation 
  of 
  the 
  finances 
  be 
  

   referred 
  to 
  the 
  executive 
  committee. 
  

  

  A 
  Member 
  : 
  I 
  second 
  the 
  motion. 
  

  

  The 
  Chairman 
  : 
  It 
  is 
  moved 
  and 
  seconded 
  that 
  the 
  matter 
  of 
  

   the 
  financial 
  standing 
  of 
  the 
  association 
  be 
  placed 
  in 
  the 
  hands 
  of 
  

   the 
  executive 
  committee. 
  

  

  (Motion 
  was 
  carried.) 
  

  

  The 
  Secretary: 
  The 
  next 
  is 
  the 
  election 
  of 
  the 
  Nominating 
  

   Committee. 
  

  

  The 
  Chairman: 
  Are 
  there 
  any 
  nominations 
  for 
  Nominating 
  

   Committee 
  ? 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Jones: 
  I 
  place 
  in 
  nomination 
  Professor 
  Smith, 
  Mr. 
  C. 
  A. 
  

   Reed,

  Mr. 
  Ridgway 
  and 
  Mr. 
  Albert 
  Stabler, 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Pomeroy 
  : 
  I 
  second 
  that 
  nomination. 
  

  

  The 
  Chairman 
  : 
  It 
  has 
  been 
  moved 
  and 
  seconded 
  that 
  these 
  

   gentlemen 
  be 
  appointed 
  as 
  a 
  nominating 
  committee 
  to 
  nominate 
  the 
  

   officers 
  for 
  the 
  ensuing 
  year.

  motion 
  was
