NOTICE OF 
_Suinmer N{eeting, 1895. 
The summer meeting of the Minnesota State Horticultural Society 
will be held Thursday, June 20, 1895, at the State Experiment Station, 
St. Anthony Park, Minn. 
It has been two years since a meeting of the society was held at 
this point, and the changes which have taken place in the interven- 
ing time will have much to interest those who have heretofore 
attended our summer meetings held there. Those who have found 
it inconvenient to attend these summer meetings, hardly realize how 
much they have missed. At this point is located the experiment 
station, under the patronage of the United States government, and 
here are conducted a very full line of experiments intended to cover 
all branches of agriculture, including, of course, horticulture, stock 
growing and kindred industries. There is very much to be seen and 
learned at this point, and especially in horticulture at this season 
of the year, the opportunity is a very full one. 
As usual, the forenoon will be spent in the examination of the 
grounds, and at one o’clock the members will sit down to a picnic 
dinner, to which all who attend, as is customary, are invited to con- 
tribute. The flowers and fruits which always appear in profusion 
at these gatherings, will be used to adorn the tables and to please 
the palate. 
Following the dinner hour will be the announcement of awards, 
and the usual afternoon meeting, at which a few short papers may 
be read, followed by discussions and impromptu speeches. No 
formal program has been prepared. Itis suggested that a pertinent 
topic for consideration at this time is “Late Spring Frosts and 
their Relation to Fruit Growing” and members are invited to come 
provided with thoughts on this subject. 
Your attention is especially called to the liberal premiums offered
