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.
