JOURNAL OF ANNUAL MEETING, 1915

Minnesota State Horticultural Society

Held on Second Floor of the West Hotel, Minneapolis, December 7, 8, 9 and 10, 1915.

Tuesday Morning Session, 10 o’clock.

Meeting was opened at 10 o’clock a.m., December 7, 1915, by President
Thomas E. Cashman.  Invocation was made by Rev. C. S. Harrison, of York,
Nebraska, which was followed by a song by Mr. Trafford N. Jayne, of
Minneapolis.  The president then read his annual greeting. (See index.)

President Cashman:  How may University Farm and the Minnesota State Horticultural Society be mutually helpful in developing the farms and homes of the Northwest? by our good friend, the dean of agriculture of this state, Mr. A. F. Woods. (Applause.) (See index.)

Discussion.

President Cashman:  Anything further before we pass to the next subject?  If not, we will now call on one of our oldest members and one of our best friends, Mr. George J. Kellogg, of Wisconsin, who will tell us something about the strawberry business. (See index.)

Discussion.

President Cashman:  I am sure we are all very much indebted to Mr. Kellogg.  Now, we have another very good friend with us from Nebraska.  He is going to tell us about “The Nurseryman as King.”  Mr. C. S. Harrison, of York, Nebraska. (See index.)

President Cashman:  This morning we heard from our good friend, Dean Woods, then we heard from Wisconsin and later from Nebraska.  We have enjoyed all three, all very instructive and very entertaining, and we hope to hear from them again.  We hope later to hear from another Wisconsin man, Mr. Philips.  Those three men have always contributed a great deal to the success of our meetings.  I understand that Wisconsin has sent another representative, Mr. A. C. Graves, of Sturgeon Bay.  It has been announced that he is with us.  If so, we will be pleased to have him come forward and have a word of greeting from him, representing the Wisconsin Horticultural Society.

Mr. Graves:  Mr. President and members of the Minnesota Horticultural Society:  I am very pleased to be here this morning and listen to this program and these deliberations.  I expect to spend some enjoyable days with you, and on behalf of the Wisconsin Horticultural Society I am pleased to bring to you their greetings on this occasion.  Thank you.  (Applause.)

President Cashman:  We hope to hear from you later, Mr. Graves, and would be pleased to have you take part in our deliberations.  I presume that there are other delegates here, but if so they have not been announced.  If there are others I hope they will hand their credentials to the secretary so we may call on them later.
