educational iustitutions. Others who are deeply interested in this 

 subject will follow, and a g-eneral and full discussion will be had. 

 This is a very important subject, and it is to be hoped that its con- 

 sideration at this time may lead to soine practical results. Secretary 

 J. O. Barrett, of the State Forestry Association, and other officers 

 and members of that body will be on hand to take part in the con- 

 sideration of these topics, which are especially pertinent to the 

 present work of that society. 



Prof. S. B. Green will take this opportunity to speak of what the 

 station is doing for forestry. 



The attendance at this meeting is by no means confined to ruem- 

 bers or invited guests, but the public and all interested in horticul- 

 ture or the subjects to be considered are earnestly invited to attend — 

 and by all means bring the ladies with the purpose of spending the 

 day and having a good time. 



As this session is intended to be held at the height of the straw- 

 berry season, the same liberal premiums are offered as were given 

 last year,and it is hoped will draw out a very full exhibit.
