STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 41 



for lue to make any further engagements than those in Wisconsin, I 

 would like so very much to meet you and your Society, but time and 

 strength are limited; and I, in a moment of rashness, agreed to spend 

 ten days in Wisconsin, following January 10th. 



Sincerely yours, Garfield.

Friends of Minnesota Horticultural Society: 



I should have been glad to have met with you this winter. Our 

 committee appointed our corresponding secretary, A. S. Hatch, dele- 

 gate, who will extend to yQu our society's greeting for this *' open

Hoping your horticultural work will keep step to the music of 40° 

 below zero, and yet prove the varieties that will pay you abundantly. 



I remain truly yours, 



GrEo. J. Kellogg. 



P. S. Enclosed find my youngest daughter's first horticultural 

 essay — competing for one of your prizes. G. J K.
