ANNUAL WINTER MEETING. 57 
Bringing into the oftice some zeal, though littleexperience for this kind 
of work, it has been my earnest effort to carry out the spirit that it seems 
to me should animate the labor of the secretary. If T have been fairly 
successful it is due in large measure to the kindly criticisms and assistance 
of my fellow officers and members, who have ever shown a hearty sympa- 
thy in my work. Itis a pleasure toserve those who appreciate your efforts, 
cheer your successes, and kindly overlook ) our errors. 
A work arousing so profound an interest, as does the work of our society, 
within its membership and in the general public, with such unanimity 
of effort on the part of all concerned, furnishes assurance of a grand future 
for our organization and for that interest for which it exists, the horti- 
culture of the state of Minnesota. 
Respectfully submitted, A. W. LATHAM,
