The President : While we are on the subject of vegetables I am 

 going to call for the paper by Mr. W. J. Moyle, of Wisconsin. His 

 subject relates to the cabbage industry in southeastern Wisconsin. 



Mr. W. J. Moyle, of Union Grove, Wis., then read a paper de-

 E. A. Smith, who is going to tell us what killed hardy stock last 

 winter. 



Mr. E. A. Smith, of Lake City, in a paper then detailed his opin- 

 ion of "What Killed Hardy Stock Last Winter." (See index.) 



Discussion. 



The President : I now wish to call upon two representatives 

 of horticulture to come before us just a moment to see who they are. 

 I am going first to call on Prof. Waldron, who is professor of 

 horticulture in the University of North Dakota. Will you not come 

 forward, Professor, and give us a word of greeting from North 

 Dakota ? , 



Prof. C. B. Waldron (N. D.) : I just want to say good morn- 

 ing to you and to say that I am sorry I could not be with you ear- 

 lier, but I was called to Chicago on some business and failed to make 

 connections, so I was detained until this morning. I have been at 

 every meeting of this society, with the exception of one or two, 

 since I have been in the northwest, which is sixteen years. Our work 

 is progressing after a fashion, more or less spasmodically, in the 

 northwest. We expect next year to have some large greenhouses 

 established at Fargo, so that some of our work in plant breeding 

 and things of that nature may be carried on more systematically 

 than at the present time. I have been in Chicago for the last three or 

 four days consulting with builders of greenhouses, and perhaps we 

 can forward our horticulture with such an equipment better than 

 with what we have at the present time. We have planted in the 

 state of North Dakota some eighteen thousand forest trees, and 

 planted a large number of different varieties of fruit trees. We 

 have now an experiment station at Edgely, N. D., in the southern 

 part of the state. We also -have a tree plantation and a fruit planta- 

 tin at Dickinson, on the Little Missouri. They are beating us out. 

 Most trees, especially fruit trees, somehow are doing better at Edge- 

 ly than at Fargo. You are not specially interested in these extreme 

 points, but I just mention this to let you know what progress we are 

 making and how we are developing. (Applause.) 



The President : We are fortunate this morning in having Prof. 

 J. C. Blair with us, who is professor of horticulture in the U^niversity
