SUMMER MEETING, I907.

at the station, referring also to other matters of practical interest 

 to those present. 



Being called upon for a few words, Capt. A. H. Reed, the veteran 

 horticulturist of Glencoe, volunteered a song and coming forward 

 rendered "Uncle Sam's Farm'' in a way to bring down the house. 

 Though along in years, he is very young in spirit and in determina- 

 tion. 



Prof. S. B. Green spoke briefly of the work of the late legislature 

 in providing for a forestry school at Itasca State Park and for a 

 fruit breeding farm, to be operated in connection with the station. 



The reader might be sure that if he was not present at this gath- 

 ering he missed a lively time. Our president, Prof. S. B. Green, 

 presided, and no one had a chance to become weary under the rapid 

 shifting of this rather volatile but very satisfying program. The 

 audience stayed till the close and went home happy, each one carry- 

 ing an armful of flowers, a gorgeous procession as they passed out 

 of the hall. The writer saw several of them later in the day as far out 

 as the cross-town line on Lake Street. They were everywhere in 

 the city and were scattered all over it. Where there was a person 

 with an armful of flowers, we might be sure he came from the best 

 summer meeting of the Minnesota State Horticultural Society.
