A LIVE SOCIETY. 

 I have been much impressed with 

 the excellence of the little magazine 

 being put out by the Minnesota State 

 Horticultural Society each month. It 

 is called the Minnesota Horticulturist, 

 and is made up largely of the papers 

 read at meetings of that society, but 

 considerable additional matter of time- 

 ly interest is added and numerous il- 

 lustrations set off the text. The Min- 

 nesota Society is the largest of the 

 kind in the country, and seems to have 

 been one of the most successful in en- 

 gaging the interest of all classes of 

 people concerned at all with horticul- 

 tural matters. Its members include 

 both amateurs and professional grow- 

 ers, and the programs for the different 

 meetings cover a wide range of sub- 

 jects, although particular emphasis is 

 laid on fruit growing, efforts being 

 made so far as possible, apparently, to 

 get reports from men and women who

have been particularly successful in 

 any special line. The success of this 

 society is particularly Important and 

 it is stated that the membership fee is 

 only $1.00, which pays for the maga- 

 zine mentioned for a year as well as 

 extending all the privileges of the so- 

 ciety. There is also a life membership 

 fee of $10.00. 



No doubt conditions in Minnesota 

 have been especially favorable to the 

 building up of a society of this kind, 

 but certainly the enthusiasm must be 

 considerable to build up so large a 

 membership at the low rate mentioned 

 as to create a surplus in funds for a 

 large investment in liberty bonds. 



PHILADELPHIA. 

 The Florists Club has issued a time 

 table for the convention at Detroit, 

 August 18-21. It has not been thought 

 advisable to have a Philadelphia party, 

 and no transportation committee has 

 been oppointed. Everybody to go as 

 they please, according to Secretary 

 Kift's circular.
