270 MINNESOTA STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



arranged the usual program of short talks, a number of which will be given 

 on some of the prize winning perennials by exhibitors and visitors at the 

 meeting. The session will be limited as near as possible to one hour, and it 

 is especially requested that during the progress of the meeting all in attend- 

 ance in the hall be seated, as any movement amongst the flowers on the part 

 of those who desire to see them is sure to interfere with the success of the 

 program. 



Reaching the Grounds. — Take the Como-Harriet car in either St. Paul 

 or Minneapolis, get off at Doswell Avenue, and a walk of approximately one- 

 half mile will bring you to University Farm grounds. To reach the gym- 

 nasium go north on Cleveland Avenue, which is the avenue running along 

 the west side of University Farm, past the University Farm buildings until 

 you come to the last building, which you will recognize as the gymnasium 

 by its size. If you prefer to ride all the way to the grounds get off at 

 Eustis Street, which the conductor will point out to you. From that place 

 cars run every fifteen minutes into University Farm grounds, an extra fare 

 of five cents being charged. Ask the conductor to let you off at the gym- 

 nasium building, which you will reach from the street car line. Getting 

 off at that point saves a long walk from the terminal station. If in doubt 

 as to the way, folloiv the sign of the arrow. 



Visit to State Fruit-Breeding Farm. — This farm is located at Zum- 

 bra Heights, twenty-two miles west of Minneapolis on the Minneapolis and 

 St. Louis railroad. The train leaves depot at 8:35 a. m. Return can be 

 made by way of Zumbra Heights landing on Lake Minnetonka and the lake 

 steamers via trolley line to Minneapolis, or by waiting until mid-afternoon 

 a train can be secured returning to the city on the railroad. One or more 

 of the professors will go out Thursday morning, June 28th, to accompany 

 any who may desire to take advantage of this opportunity to visit the 

 Fruit-Breeding Farm. 



Entries. — All entries must be received by the secretary not later than 

 Saturday, June 23d. No entries whatever will be received at the meeting. 

 The exhibitors are urged to send in their entries at as early a date as pos- 

 sible, under no circumstances later than the date noted above. Entry blanks 

 will be furnished by the secretary on application. 



Exhibits. — The judges will begin work on the exhibit promptly at 

 11:30, and any exhibit incomplete at that time will be judged on the basis 

 of its condition at that time and not as to what it would be when the 

 exhibit is completed. 



Fruits and flowers shown become the property of the association. 



Red Cross Flower Sale. — There will be a sale of flowers at this 

 meeting for the benefit of the Red Cross Fund, and an opportunity is offered 

 to members to bring in flowers for this purpose. Bring loose flowers or 

 bouquets of greenhouse flowers, garden flowers or wild flowers. All will be 

 salable. Do not overlook this patriotic feature of our annual summer gath- 

 ering. Be liberal!
