NOTICE OF 



^to^n^er JYT^^^^^^, 1894. 



The Summer Meetino;- of the Minnesota State Horticultural Society 

 will be held Thursday, June 21, 1894, at Villa Rosa, the residence of 

 Mr. and Mrs. Dorilus Morrison, cor. Twenty-fourth street and Third 

 avenue south, Minneapolis, Minn. 



This meeting will be held at Villa Rosa in response to the invita- 

 tion of Mr. and Mrs. Morrison tendered to the society at its last 

 winter's meeting. The date has been selected as near as may be 

 judged beforehand to agree with the time when the roses, that have 

 suggested to this home its name, shall be in bloom. 



In harmony with the surroundings, it is the purpose at this meet- 

 ing to emphasize rose culture, and the premium list, etc., have been 

 prepared with this object somewhat in view. 



It is hoped that members of the society and both amateur and 

 professional rose growers will contribute, as they have been favored, 

 in making a fine exhibit. 



As usual at our summer meetings, this occasion will include a 

 basket picnic dinner (due at 1 p. m.), at which each member (atid 

 wife) attending is invited to contribute. The dinner will be followed 

 by the announcement of awai*ds and a meeting of a somewhat ex- 

 temporaneous character, at which, among other things, you "will be 

 given an opportunitj^ to tell what yoxx know or don't know about the 

 culture of the rose here or elsewhere. 



The meeting throughout is to be largely informal and afford an 

 opportunity for renewing old acquaintances and making new ones 

 amongst the rapidly increasing membership of the society. Kindly 

 social intercourse rather than business is its purpose. 



The reception committee will be in attendance at 10 a. m.
