ANNUAL WINTER MEETING. 105 



The Cecilian Quartette then favored the society with a vocal 

 selection, entitled "My Rose." 



Prof. C. H. Hall, of the State University, read a very inter- 

 esting paper, entitled "Geological Formations as Related to 

 Plant Growth." (On account of frequent reference to a series of 

 maps it is found impracticable to publish tins paper.) 



On motion of Mr. Barrett, a vote of thanks was tendered 

 Prof. Hall for his very able paper, 



Miss Gertie Hooker, of Minneapolis, very kindly entertained 

 the audience with a recitation, entitled "Johnnie Appleseed. " 



Prof. McMillan, of the State University, read the following 

 paper; "Diseases of Fruit." (This paper is not published, as 

 continual reference to charts would render it unintelligible ivithout 

 them.) 



President Elliot: We thank the professor very much for his 

 valuable paper. 



Prof. Pendergast has something to say I believe. 



Prof. Pendergast: Professor Green has asked me for two 

 selections, and he also asked me if I would write a few words 

 about the buckthorn hedge. I do not know what you mean to - 

 call for now. Now professor, what do you want, the selection 

 or the article on the buckthorn? 



Prof. Green : You know well enough what I want. 



Prof. Pendergast then read a selection entitled "How Ruby 

 Played," which was very highly appreciated by the audience. 



Prof. Lugger, of the State Univessity, read the following 

 paper: 



Insects Injurious to Fruit Trees. By Prof. Otto Lugger, St. 

 Anthony Park, Minn. (See index.) 



President Elliot: Is there any question you wish to ask 

 Prof. Lugger in regard to points brought out in this paper? 



This is the last paper of the evening, and I would say that 

 the executive committee is in session in the other room, and if 

 anyone has a matter to present to them, if they will make it 

 known it will be considered. 



Prof. Pendergast, being called on for his article on the buck- 

 thorn, read the following: "The Buckthorn," by Prof. W. W. 

 Pendergast, Hutchinson, Minn. (See index).
