LETTERS. 



"The report of the Minnesota Experiment Station and Summer 

 Meetings is at hand, and is a most welcome publication. It is just 

 from the experience of men dealing- with nature, earnest men who 

 are looking- for g-ood thing-s to eat, to look at, — fruit trees. And even 

 a new rose that I want is told of — the " Wyman Elliot." I know Mr. 

 Elliot, I found him in Texas, in 1890. He is a New Hampshire man, 

 from the same state that I was born in. 



"Mrs. Manning- and I were at Rochester, Minn., at the first fair held 

 in Minnesota; it was a display of Minnesota fruit, and I was told 

 that Mr. J. S. Harris had it in charg-e. Mr. Ford had some g-rapes on 

 exhibition then, and he thoug-ht that the state would be in time dis- 

 tinguished for its g-rapes. 



"You are disting-uished not only in the fruit line, but in forests, 

 ornamental trees, shrubs, etc. 



"As an honorary meinber I am proud of our association. 



" Yours very truly, 



"Jacob W. Manning."

"We have already received the February, March, April and May 

 numbers of the Minnesota Horticulturist, and I know that Prof. 

 Heiges will be g-lad to receive it in the future. It is an interesting- 

 publication and apparently a new departure in horticultural societ}^ 

 literature. It strikes me that the monthl}- publications of proceed- 

 ings is a g-ood idea, for discussion will, in this way, reach the mem- 

 bers of 5"our society much more promptly than you can reach them 

 with an annual report. 



" With personal reg-ards I remain, very truly, 



"Wm. a. Taylok, Assistant Pomolog-ist."
