On the afternoons of September 1st and 2d, we propose to drive in

be Hilton, N. Y. The present plan is to visit the trees in the following
order:

the parent tree of the Thompson Grove seedlings at East Avon, N.
Y.);

Calvin C. Laney, Superintendent of Parks, Rochester, N. Y., by Dr.
Sargeant of the Arnold Arboretum);
4--Westgate farm, Stone Road, Persian Walnut seedlings and filberts
(nuts for the seedling trees and filbert bushes imported from
England);
5--W. H. Anderson and Wm. Twitchill, Ridge Road, seedling Walnut
(of these one tree 105 years old);

_September 2d, 1915_

Hazel; 3--West Brighton, Mrs. W. J. Miller, seedling Walnuts;
4--Golah, N. Y., King Nut Hickory; 5--Seedling Walnut grove,

All automobiles intended to convey members of the Association will have
a sign "Northern Nut Growers Association." All cars will follow a pilot
car, which will be plainly marked. There will be one relief car, which
will be plainly marked, and will carry no passengers except in
emergency. In the event of any break-down in an automobile, the
emergency car will immediately pick up the passengers of the one
delayed, and transfer its sign to the delayed car. The delayed car,
after repairs, will act as a relief car in its place.
The start of both trips will be made from Powers Hotel at 1:45 P. M.
All members are requested to be on hand promptly, as the several
stops will consume considerable time. Unless delay in starting is
provided against, the trip may be prolonged beyond a comfortable limit.
