  ANNUAL 
  MEETING 
  IN 
  1915 
  

  

  The 
  following 
  letter 
  was 
  sent 
  to 
  our 
  members 
  and 
  some 
  of 
  our 
  

   correspondents 
  living 
  in 
  or 
  near 
  Rochester. 
  The 
  secretary 
  would 
  

   be 
  pleased 
  if 
  every 
  person 
  who 
  opens 
  this 
  volume 
  at 
  this 
  page 
  

   would 
  read 
  this 
  letter 
  and, 
  having 
  read, 
  would 
  make 
  a 
  note 
  of 
  it 
  

   for 
  action. 
  

  

  Georgetown, 
  Conn., 
  September 
  10, 
  1914. 
  

   Dear 
  Sir: 
  

  

  Rochester, 
  N. 
  Y., 
  is 
  quite 
  likely 
  to 
  be 
  selected 
  as 
  the 
  place 
  for 
  the 
  next 
  meeting 
  

   of 
  the 
  Northern 
  Nut 
  Growers 
  Association, 
  and 
  the 
  Persian 
  ("English") 
  walnut 
  

   as 
  the 
  subject 
  for 
  especial 
  consideration. 
  

  

  There 
  are 
  many 
  Persian 
  walnut 
  trees 
  in 
  Rochester 
  and 
  vicinity. 
  Will 
  you 
  not 
  

   bear 
  in 
  mind 
  that 
  we 
  shall 
  probably 
  meet 
  there 
  and 
  help 
  to 
  make 
  the 
  meeting 
  

   a 
  success? 
  One 
  way 
  in 
  which 
  this 
  can 
  be 
  done 
  is 
  to 
  look 
  up 
  now 
  any 
  walnut 
  trees, 
  

   or 
  other 
  superior 
  nut 
  trees, 
  observe 
  their 
  bearing 
  and 
  get 
  their 
  records 
  and 
  samples 
  

   of 
  the 
  nuts, 
  with 
  photographs 
  if 
  desirable. 
  

  

  Another 
  way 
  to 
  help 
  is 
  to 
  talk 
  about 
  the 
  association 
  and 
  this 
  meeting 
  to 
  others 
  

   and 
  get 
  them 
  interested 
  in 
  the 
  association 
  and 
  in 
  reporting 
  nuts. 
  

  

  Any 
  assistance 
  in 
  making 
  arrangements, 
  or 
  in 
  providing 
  attractions 
  for 
  the 
  

   meeting 
  will 
  be 
  most 
  welcome. 
  

  

  I 
  append 
  a 
  list 
  of 
  members 
  and 
  correspondents 
  in 
  and 
  about 
  Rochester. 
  Mr. 
  

   Olcott, 
  the 
  editor 
  of 
  the 
  American 
  Nut 
  Journal, 
  will 
  undoubtedly 
  act 
  as 
  a 
  central 
  

   bureau 
  for 
  information 
  and 
  report. 
  

  

  Let 
  us 
  make 
  this 
  coming 
  meeting 
  go 
  far 
  toward 
  settling 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  undecided 
  

   points 
  about 
  the 
  Persian 
  walnut 
  in 
  the 
  East. 
  

  

  Yours 
  truly, 
  

  

  \V. 
  C. 
  Deming. 
  

  

  Secretary.
