Transactions Of The Wisconsin State Horticultural Society Vol 45 Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Wisconsin State Horticultural Society Transactions, Vol. 18: Including Addresses and Papers Presented and Proceedings of the Summer and Winter Meetings for the Year 1887 To Jeremiah M. Rusk, Governor of the State of Wisconsin: Sir: The law of our state provides that the Secretary of the Wisconsin State Horticultural Society shall make annual report to you of its transactions during the year. In compliance with that law I take pleasure in presenting to you this our eighteenth annual volume, containing an account of the receipts and disbursements for the year 1887, together with reports from local societies; and the papers read with discussions thereon at our summer and winter meetings, and such other matter as has been considered important to the interest of horticulture in our state. Our Society a few years since adopted the plan of dividing the state into districts with a committee in each to report annually to the society. That work for the past two years has been made more efficient by requiring those reports to embrace the conditions of temperature, storms and their effects, varieties of fruits, soils and conditions, injurious insects, etc., etc. These reports, though not being as full and complete as we could wish yet we consider them of great importance to the fruit growers of our state, and we hope to make them of still greater value in the future. We appreciate your thought for the interests of this society; and the state legislature in making appropriation for its necessary work; and it is hoped that the importance of horticulture in our state as a growing industry, may be a sufficient excuse for setting apart a portion of the fund appropriated by congress for experimental work in the line of horticulture.
