Secretary's (®ori^er. 



Wisconsin State Horticui.Tural Society.— The annual meetingof this 

 society is to be held at Madison, as usual, on Feb, 7th to 10th. 



Have You Sent in a New Member?— Please give this early attention and 

 secure for yourself some of the valuable premium books offered in our 1905 

 folder. 



Shali, We Reach 2000 This Year? -The answer to this question de- 

 pends upon you If each member interested in the work of the society should 

 send in one new member, we could easily pass thismark. Taking it for granted 

 that all members are interested in the growth of the society, we should reach 

 this number. 



Constance HorTicui^Turai^ Club. — A local horticultural society under 

 this name, situated some seven miles from Anoka, now in its third or fourth 

 year, this year sends in a membership of thirty. The club meets every two 

 weeks during the winter and is enjoying a degree of practical prosperity. 



Have You Renewed Your Membership for 1905?— A few of the 

 1904 members whom we are sure intend to have their names continued upon 

 the roll have not renewed their membership as yet for 1905. They should 

 give this matter early attention and at the same time send in the name of some 

 acquaintance who ought also to be engaged with us in this work. 



Report of Nationai, Forestry Congress.— It was the intention to 

 publish in this issue the report of this national gathering, by Prof. Samuel B. 

 Green, who was present there as our delegate, and the copy came to hand in 

 season, but other material planned for this number has fully occupied the 

 space, and it has had to be left over until the March number. 



Annuai. Meeting South Dakota State Horticui^tural Society.— 

 The annual session of this society was held at Huron, S. D., Jan. 17th to 

 19th. Mr. J. Iv. Teigland, of Minneota, represented this society on that 

 occasion. His report of the meeting will appear in the March number. 



Minnesota Fruit Exhibit, Wori^d's Fair.— The final report of this 

 exhibit appears in this number, with a list of awards, a statement of the ex- 

 hibit as made from day to day and the last installment of contributions. This 

 closes officially the connection of the secretary with this interesting and in 

 the main successful exhibit. 



Red River Vai^ley Horticultural Society.— Don't forget the annual 

 meeting of this association, to be held in Crookston, Feb. 2. No particulars 

 as to the program are yet at hand, but as the meeting is to be held in conjunc- 

 tion with other associations, agricultural, livestock and the farmer's institute, 

 a good attendance is assured. If you live in that neighborhood you better be 

 there. 



Southern Minnesota Society Meeting.— This meeting was held, as 

 announced, the 11-13 of Jan., at Spring Valley, and the report of the meeting 

 came to hand duly but has been crowded out of this number by other pre-ar- 

 langed matter. It will be found in the March issue. On account of unfavor- 

 able weather, the attendance was not what could have been desired, but in 

 other respects the meeting was a successful one.
