ANNUAL MEETING IN 1915
The following letter was sent to our members and some of our
correspondents living in or near Rochester. The secretary would be
pleased if every person who opens this volume at this page would read
this letter and, having read, would make a note of it for action.
GEORGETOWN, CONN., September 10, 1914.
DEAR SIR:
Rochester, N. Y., is quite likely to be selected as the place for the
next meeting of the Northern Nut Growers Association, and the Persian
("English") walnut as the subject for especial consideration.
There are many Persian walnut trees in Rochester and vicinity. Will you
not bear in mind that we shall probably meet there and help to make the
meeting a success? One way in which this can be done is to look up _now_
any walnut trees, or other superior nut trees, observe their bearing and
get their records and samples of the nuts, with photographs if
desirable.
Another way to help is to talk about the association and this meeting to
others and get them interested in the association and in reporting nuts.
Any assistance in making arrangements, or in providing attractions for
the meeting will be most welcome.
I append a list of members and correspondents in and about Rochester.
Mr. Olcott, the editor of the _American Nut Journal_, will undoubtedly
act as a central bureau for information and report.
Let us make this coming meeting go far toward settling some of the
undecided points about the Persian walnut in the East.
Yours truly,
W. C. DEMING.
_Secretary._
