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 Tuesday, the 23d 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 materially 

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

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

 ment gardens and orchards and observe the changes and progress in 

 the work there. Several of the professors and their assistants will 

 be in attendance to explain its character. 



At 12:30 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 the regular summer session of the society will be 

 held. A short program is being prepared of an interesting and 

 practical character. A specialty will be made this year of the Ques- 

 tion Box. Are there any questions you would like answered? 

 Bring along and drop in. 



Remember that the social feature is especially emphasized, and 

 don't forget to bring along vour wife or husband, as the case mav 

 be.
