1902, 



OF THE 

 MINNESOTA STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



The regular summer gathering of the society will be held as 

 usual this year at the State Experiment Station, at St. Anthony 

 Park, on Thursday, the 19th day of June. This date is set as nearly 

 as possible to accommodate the strawberry growers in the part of the 

 state most accessible to the place of meeting, and with this object 

 in view the usual liberal premium list has been prepared. 



The order of exercises for the day will not differ materiallv 

 from that of similar occasions in previous years. The forenoon will 

 give ample opportunity to those so inclined to look over the ex- 

 periment gardens and orchards and observe the changes and prog- 

 ress in this interesting and valuable work. Several of the professors 

 and their assistants will be in attendance to explain the character of 

 this work. 



At 12 :3o o'clock basket lunch will be spread in Armory Hall, 

 and all attending are invited to contribute towards this festive oc- 

 casion. Every one is welcome. If not a member, $1.00 will make 

 you such, if you wish, and give you the publications of the society 

 and a voice in its deliberations. 



At 2 o'clock p. m. the regular summer session of the society will 

 be held. A short program has been prepared, having to do exclus- 

 ively with strawberries and roses. Practical papers will be presented 

 on these subjects as follows : On strawberries by B. T. Hoyt, Ham- 

 lin ; Wm. Lyons, Minneapolis; O. C. Gregg, Lynd; Prof. S. B. 

 Green and Prof. F. L. Washburn, the newly appointed professor of 

 entomology at the station. On roses by J. M. Underwood, Lake 

 City, and others. 



Remember that the social feature is especially emphasized, and 

 don't forget to bring along your wife or husband, as the case may be. 



Meeting of the Women's Auxiliary. — The regular summer meet- 

 ing of this auxiliary society will be held at some convenient time 

 during the day to be announced.
