GREETING. 
Dear Friends and Fellow Members: 
Before going on with the publication of our magazine this 
year it was found necessary to secure a change in the law in 
regard to the printing of our reports. 
The new law, acopy of which is to be found on page 9 of 
this number, was enacted without opposition by the legislature, 
but it has necessarily required some time. The delinquent 
magazines will now come to you rapidly. 
Hereafter ‘“The Minnesota Horticulturist’ is to be considered 
an established feature of the work of the society. With the in- 
crease of size permitted under the new law it will be possible 
to cull more liberally from other sources of horticultural infor- 
mation and in other ways add to its general value. 
In publishing this magazine we urge your hearty co-operation. 
Especially as a means of communication, back and forth, with 
the membership of the society should it be of value to you; 
through the question box, by question and answer, or by com- 
munications, it is very desirable that you should use its 
columns. There should be in its use an exhibition of the 
fraternal feeling which we know exists in so large adegree in 
our association. 
Asking your usual charity and consideration in the efforts 
making for success in the work of our organization, I remain 
Yours fraternally, 
A. W. LATHAM, Sec’y. 
Minneapolis, Minn., April 20, 1895.
