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._ * * * * * Plant My Hardy Pennsylvania Grown Budded and Grafted English Walnut and Pecan Trees if you want to start right You can't afford to experiment with trees of doubtful hardiness, neither do you want inferior varieties _My 1915 attractive Catalogue and Cultural Guide is yours for the asking_ Address J.
