Remarks by Visiting Delegates. 



President Gullev : We are particularly gratified to have 

 with us at this meeting a large number of visitors from other 

 states. 1 am very glad to note that each year the number of 

 delegates from other State societies is increasing. 



This exchange of delegates is a most pleasant feature of our 

 horticultural conventions and must prove of benefit to us and 

 to them. We want to become better acquainted with our brother 

 growers in other states, and learn more of their conditions. It 

 is profitable for us to discuss together the work in which we 

 are all mutually interested. In the name of our Society, I 

 extend a most cordial welcome to these gentlemen, and at this 

 time I would like to call for a brief word from some of the 

 visitors. 



First, I will call upon Prof. W. J. Greene of Wooster, Ohio, 

 who represents both the Ohio Experiment Station and the 

 State Horticultural Society. Prof. Greene gave us some valu- 

 able points this afternoon, and we shall be pleased to hear from 

 him aerain.
