 to each individual during the year. 



Our efforts are all directed along commercial lines, studying the 

 demands of the markets, and trying to produce what will bring the 

 highest remuneration from the minimum amount of labor and money 

 invested, so our Board of Directors are ever on the alert for any new or 

 improved nursery stock, improved methods of planting and cultivation, 

 and the proper time and kind of spraying to use. This information is 

 given to members at general meetings, and by this system of education, 

 they are gradually bringing their products to the highest standard. 



Yours very truly, 

 OMAHA FRUIT GROWERS' ASSOCIATION,
