SUMMER MEETING, igo6. 237 



The afternoon session will begin at 2 o'clock and end at 3:30. It will be 

 in large measure an impromtu program and to some degree at least connected 

 in the nature of object lessons with the fruits and flowers exhibited at the 

 meeting. A number of the officials connected with the station will talk of the 

 work of their departments, whatever they may have on hand of special 

 interest to horticulture, and most of the departments include something of 

 this nature. Every member and friend is urged to attend this meeting 

 A lively and helpful time may be expected, nothing dry or somber 

 about the occasion. A question box will be provided for any who would like 

 to take advantage of this method of securing information. 



Come early and see it through. The experience of so many years giving 

 us invariably a pleasant day makes us almost ready to insure ideal summer 

 weather for this occasion. 



HOW TO REACH THE GROUNDS. 



Take the Como-Interurban electric car in either St. Paul or Minneapolis, 

 and get off at Commonwealth Ave., where carriages will be found waiting to 

 carry the visitors to the groinids, one-half mile distant, from 9:30 a. m. to 

 1:30 p. m. 



Do NOT take the Interurban car, but TAKE the "Como-Harriet" car.

 the articles exhibited, which must have been grown in Minnesota and be 

 correctly labeled.

 be used at the mid-day lunch.

 upon to talk about the articles exhibited, describing them, giving methods 

 of cultivation, etc., using the articles themselves as object lessons. 



ENTRIES. 



All probable exhibitors aie urged to send to the secretary at once their 

 lists of entries that labels may be prepared beforehand. The large number 

 of entries made at the summer meeting makes it almost impossible to get the 

 clerical work done in time for the judging when the making of entries is put 

 off until the exhibits are brought to the meeting. Please make these entries 

 promptly with the secretary NOW, and if by any unforeseen cause your 

 exhibits should not be shown, no harm is done.
