Mr. O. F. Brand, of Fairbault, presented the following report 
of the committee on fruit blossoms, cross-fertilization, etc. (See 
index.) 
R. S. Mackintosh, of St. Anthony Park, next read a paper 
on ‘‘Spraying at the State Experiment Station.” (See index. ) 
At this point in the program Mr. Roy Underwood delighted 
the audience with a baritone solo, entitled ‘“King David.” 
Pres. Underwood: The time for adjournment has come, but 
before we go I want to speak of a few matters of importance. 
One is in reference to memberships. All members are entitled 
to receive a bound copy of the 1894 annual report in addition 
to the monthly magazine which they receive during the year. 
The magazine is the same thing as that which is bound at the 
end of the year; the report is simply the twelve numbers of the 
magazine bound in one volume. I would call your attention to 
another arrangement that has been perfected. You will find on 
the inside of the cover of the magazine a list of permiums which 
will be given by the state experiment station to all new mem- 
bers, a choice of ten premiums, and you will find the list on 
the inside of the covers of the magazine, so that in addition to 
the monthly magazine and the bound volume, you get your 
choice of three of these premiums. 
Pres. Underwood then adjourned the meeting to 7:30 o’clock 
in the evening. 
TUESDAY EVENING. 
The exercises of the evening were opened with a vocal selec- 
tion rendered by Mrs. Young, of Lake City, entitled ‘‘Happy 
Days.”

troduce to you Mayor Titzell, who will now deliver the address 
of welcome. 
Mayor Titzell then welcomed the society in the following 
words: 
Mr. President, Members of the State Horticultural Society, the 
Bee- Keepers’ Association and the State Forestry Association: It

we are happier still now that you are here. We stand ready to 
fulfil all the pledges and promises we have made. Lake City, 
as you know, is a quiet, unassuming and unostentatious little 
city, nestling among the hills by the lake. In behalf of the
