Fellow Members of the Minnesota State Horticultural Society: 



The present volume is the fourth which it has been my priv- 

 ilege to prepare for you, and I have found the work, with such 

 associates, altogether a pleasant one. This, the twenty-second 

 report of our society, contains the twelve monthly magazines — 

 published this year, for the first time, in place of the usual an- 

 nual report, under the title of "The Minnesota Horticulturist" — 

 the record of the annual meeting of last winter, a few 

 papers not previously included, a full list of members, and 

 the usual double index, in which the titles of papers and their 

 authors both appear in proper place. 



All the documents, treatises, reports, etc., of every descrip 

 tion connected with this society which have come into the sec- 

 retary's office up to date have been included in this volume. 

 Being issued at the close of the year instead of at the begin- 

 ning, as heretofore, the list of members for 1894 is a complete 

 one and the record for the year is literally full. 



Trusting this volume will meet your approval, I remain 



Yours fraternally. 



A. W. LATHAM, 



Secretary.
