JOURNAL OF ANNUAL MEETING, I906. 489 



Samson or Hercules, and he made up his mind to see the engineer 

 and find out what he looked like. They walked eight miles to 

 the station ; they heard the whistle of the engine, and when it came 

 in they walked right up to it. The engineer happened to be a little 

 fellow, weighed about 120 pounds. The man who had come on 

 purpose to see him and expected to find a wonderful looking man 

 looked at him from one side and another, he walked around him and 

 looked at him up and down, and then he said to his companion, 

 "Bill, it doesn't take much of a man for an engineer after all." 

 That's what I thought about the professors. (Laughter. ) 



I am very glad to be here ; I am always glad to come to your 

 meetings. I usually come at night ; I come at night to save time 

 and appearances. This time I came up in the day time, and I am 

 glad to see you all. I am glad to see my old friend here. Kellogg 

 has got a record we can all be proud of. At the first meeting 

 organized in 1850, Kellogg was there. During the last year Stick- 

 ney, Tuttle and- some of the others have gone, but Kellogg is still 

 here and is about the only one left, and we want to make him 

 president of our society next year. He has worked for horticulture 

 in Wisconsin since 1856. He has kept more strawberry records 

 and weather records that we can look back to than any other man 

 I know of. I hope he will live to come to our meetings for the 

 next twenty years. I will not take up any more of your time, but 

 I want to say that I am very glad to be here. 



The Chairman : We are always glad to have our friend Philips 

 with us, and we can always depend on hearing words of cheer and 

 expressions of good will from him. 



We have another paper on the program which I will call for 

 now, and which is of a little different nature than the others. It is 

 an illustrated subject giving views of a Minnesota nursery, by ]\Ir. 

 Rov Underwood. After the conclusion of these views we will con- 

 sider ourselves adjourned. 



Mr. Roy Underwood then exhibited a large collection of slides 

 showing many phases of nursery work, closing with a number of 

 portraits of older members of the society, each picture being ap- 

 propriately referred to or described.

 gratulate itself upon the condition reported to us by the secretary.
