From Fridays Daily.
The regular annual meeting of
this, great horticultural society of
over 5000 members will be held at
the West Hotel in Minneapolis, De-
cember 2-5, the meeting occupying
four days.
The program will be a varied one,
there being one session devoted to
vegetable gardening, one to the
growing of flowers and home orna-
mentation, one to forestry as repre-
scented by the forestry association,
land one to the woman's auxiliary-a
program of special interest to the
woman on the farm, in the garden
and in the home. The remainder
of the program is devoted largely to
fruit growing. Orcharding will re-
tceiye the principal attention, as
probably more interest is taken. in
this one subject than any other
which is considered at the meetings
of the Horticultural society. The
important question of marketing the
products of the orchard and garden
will be considered by a. number of
experts, managers of fruit growers
associations, and large growers and
packers who have had much expert
ence- both in this locality and in
other parts of the country
Experts have been secured for
this meeting without regard to ex-
pense, some coming from a consid-
cradle distance.
There will be demonstrations in
many of the arts Of horticulture, in
Guiding grating, pruning, spraying,
ETC., which will give an opportunity
to learn by actual practice the things
that need to be done in the orchard
and garden and that often are diff
cult to. acquire without individual
showing.
