JOURNAL OP THE ANNUAL MEETING, 1916. 491 



The President: Thank you very much; you have given 

 us a great deal. (Applause.) Our next speaker is called 

 sometimes the "bird lady" and sometimes the "conservation 

 lady," but always the "flower lady." With so many appropriate 

 titles to choose from, I will simplify matters by embracing 

 them all, and I will introduce our able lady, Mrs. Phelps Wyman. 



Mrs. Phelps Wyman, of Minneapolis, thereupon gave an 

 address upon "A Composite of Composites — Useful Plants for 

 Fall Bloom," accompanied by lantern slides. 



The President: If there are no questions you wish to ask 

 Mrs. Wyman we will pass to the next subject on the program, 

 but before I go I want to thank you for your attention this 

 afternoon and to assure you that you will always receive a very 

 warm welcome at any of our meetings. We have monthly meet- 

 ings, and we will welcome you as visitors or as members at any 

 time. Thank you. (Applause.) 



The afternoon session was concluded with a lantern talk 

 by Mr. E. G. Cheyney, professor of forestry, State University, 

 after which the session was declared adjourned until 9 o'clock 

 Thursday morning. 



Thursday Morning Session.

The President: The first number on the program after 

 the question and answer exercise is to be discussed by Mr.

An address on "Evergreens for Prairie Homes," was read 

 by Mr. Soholt. (See Index.) 



The President: I will ask our good friend, J. M. Under- 

 wood, to take the chair while I am out of the room. It is neces- 

 sary for me to leave the room for a few minutes. 



Mr. Underwood thereupon took the chair and after Mr. 

 Soholt finished the reading of his paper he announced that 

 there was some little time for discussion.
