MINNESOTA STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



and thoughtfulness shown toward me in all directions and at all times 

 much exceed my expectations, and have made my work an easy and 

 pleasant burden to carry. 



A noticeable thing in connection with this society is the marked absence 

 of the elements of discord and a hearty willingness to work for the gen- 

 eral success of the cause, not using the society as a means of accomplish- 

 ing a personal end. While this spirit prevails in our ranks we shall go 

 •on making a record which will continue to be a cause of honest pride to 

 ourselves and our successors in this useful field. 



Respectfully submitted, A. W. Latham, Secretary.
