 of officers. We will also have an address by Mr. Dalby of

 a position to take care of this subject. Then we will have an 

 address by Professor Whitten of Columbia, Missouri, on

 I will say that the new edition of the Evergreens has recently 

 been published, also the Peony monthly, and the New Iris 

 monthly.
