er nut growers of the South who have done so much to put nut
culture on a scientific basis, and that we express to them our deep
gratitude for the fund of valuable information and data which they have
worked out and made available.

The meeting then adjourned.

The Secretary-Treasurer has received for membership fees $108.00, and
expended for postage, printing and stationery, telephone and telegrams,
$59.27. Remaining in treasury, $48.73.

The following leaflets were issued during the year:

A reprint of Dr. Morris's article "Nut Culture for Physicians."

A list of societies, books and other publications devoted to nut
culture.

A list of some of the chief nurserymen carrying nut trees in stock.

The President also published in the Garden Magazine for May an article
on nut culture, in which he referred to our organization, as a result of
which some 45 letters of inquiry were received by the secretary,
covering the country from Canada to Texas and from British Columbia to
Panama.

The leaflets, and notices of the annual meeting, have been sent to about
321 addresses, including the members, agricultural journals, nurserymen
and nut dealers, government and state officials, state horticulturists,
correspondents and persons who it was thought might be interested.

The following letter was sent to 21 leading nurserymen:

York, asks me to suggest to you that it might be well for your
firm, or some member of it, to join the association, to be present
at the meetings and to take up the matter of raising such nursery
stock as is in constant and growing demand by the members. We need
to be in touch with those who are growing things commercially and
if they are present at the meetings they will know what we want.
The national association is largely made up of professional
nurserymen."

Nov. 15, 1911.

Two nurserymen have accepted the invitation. Evidently the others do not
yet think the northern nut grower one whose acquaintance is worth
cultivating. We hope to convince them to the contrary.

The following letter has been sent to the state horticulturists of the
northern states and the provinces of Canada.

"The Northern Nut Growers' Association desires your interest, your
aid and advice, your membership and, if possible, your attendance
at the meetings.

It would also be of help to
