The Minnesota State Horticultural
society is one of the most vigorous or
ganizations and one Of the largest, if
not the largest, horticultural society in
the United States. It had a paid mem
bership Of 1880 in the year 1904. It
publishes it's report as a monthly mag
azine with total issue Of about 500
pages yearly, and has ten volunteer ex-
pertinent stations which report to It.
These stations are affiliated with the
central experiment station, which sup
plies them with material for experiment
purposes. It pays out $3.50 in premi-
umss at its two annual meetings., and
always brings out large display Of
fruits and flowers. It is making spe-
cial efforts to encourage the growing Of
apple seedlings, believing the apple.

The Trucking Business.
About our larger cities there has
been a great increase in the business
Of raising and shipping vegetables dur
that time little was done more than to-
supply local wants, but now a large
amount Of garden truck is shipped to
various points outside Of the city. The
value Of this trucking business in this
state is probably not far from 81 ,000,-
1000. There, is about 100000 worth Of
vegetables raised in greenhouses and
hotbeds each year. This, Of course,
means vegetables that are sold during
| the winter, or in the early spring or
summer, and the business is constantly

some Of our largest dealers estimate
that in ten years we will be raising per-

These are in favor for general consump.

the potato growers Of the southern and
central states for seed stock, for which

year. While we have more or less loss
from potato diseases, yet as rule the
plants are healthy and yield heavily.

The study and experimentation hich1
has been carried on along this line has
shown the best way to overcome the
liability of damage from severe winter
weather, SO that we now have many
very successful orchards and small fruit
plantations. The soils Of Minnesota are

d In fruit production in the last decade
Minnesota made the greatest progress
of any state in the union, according to
the last census and the report of the
formation as to the best varieties and
methods Of cultivation become more
commonly known this increase is des-
tined to become more marked.
Minnesota produced about $3.50 900
worth Of apples in 1908, and the raising
Of some varieties of apples in favorable
orchard sites has for many years been
regarded as safe commercial venture.
The introduction of harder kinds and
Of better methods of orchard practice
has resulted in widely extending apple
growing, until now apples can be safely
planted over large area Of the state,
and no farm needabe without it's home
orchard. For many years the apple
| known as Duchess Of Oldenburg has
been the standard Of hardness here
and has been planted more than any
other, which has resulted in there being
often a "glut Of this kind in some
