REPORTS OF DELEGATES TO KINDRED SOCIETIES.—The reports from the 
delegates who have represented this society with the various Iowa horticultural 
societies are all received, and it was hoped to print them in this number, but the 
prospect ow is that some of them will be crowded out by matter which should 
necessarily appear in this number. 
NEw HONorRARY LIFE MEMBERS.—At the late annual meeting of this 
society, the following were unanimously elected honorary life members: J. G. 
Bass, Hamline; R. Knapheide, St. Paul; O. M. Lord, Minnesota City; Wm. 
Mackintosh, Langdon; Wm. Oxford, Freeburg; S. D. Richardson, Winnebago 
City; Charles G. Patten, Charles City, Ia ; Prof. N. E. Hansen, Brookings, S. D. 
HAVE You RECEIVED THE 1900 REPORT?—Reports are not sent out to 
members who live in or near Minneapolis, but they are invited to call at the 
secretary’s office and receive them in person. If members at a distance have not 
yet received them, please address the office, as they have been sent out some time 
since. They go usually by express, and there is sometimes delay in delivery. 
CHANGES IN THE TRIAL STATIONS OF THE SOCIETY.—At the personal 
solicitation of Mr. Clarence Wedge, the trial station at his place, at Albert Lea, 
has been discontinued. The number of stations is kept intact, however, by the 
location of a new one at the place of Mr. J. S. Parks, of Pleasant Mounds 
Mr. Parks has had a large experience in growing apple seedlings, and has much 
of his own already of interest on which to report. 
Wi, You HELP RAISE THE MEMBERSHIP TO 1000 THIS YEAR? — This 
ought not to be a hard thing to do with all the great advantages this society 
has to offer to its members in the way of books, magazines and plant premiums. 
Nevertheless, it zeeds your help if it isto be accomplished. Will you send in 
at least one new name? You will be well paid for doing so, too, and if you do 
not want the book offered to you as a premium, give it to your new member.
