HOKTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 143 



Mr. AUyn. There is a good deal of work we are hurrying 

 over. A part of you know where I belong; that is in the cab- 

 bage patch. This vegetable department is a mommoth concern; 

 it covers every thing. We are taking up a great deal of time 

 with fruits and flowers, shade trees and shrubbery. That is very 

 well but some of us that came to Minnesota to make it our home and 

 have had to contend with the elements and insects of all descrip- 

 tions, would like to be heard as to what we are doing. These 

 are important subjects to be considered by gardeners if not by 

 those interested in fruit growing. 



President Elliot said Mr. Allyn would be aiforded a chance to 

 talk upon the vegetable topics in due time, but it was necessary 

 to follow the program as closely as possible. 



On motion of Col. Stevens the meeting adjourned till two 

 o'clock p. M.
