Milwaukee, December 20,1855. Editor Horticulturist. Dear Sir: The Annual Meeting of the Wisconsin Fruit Growers' Association was held at Whitewater on the 12th and 13th of December. The attendance was good, and the display of fruits interesting and attractive. The leading object of the Association is to determine, from the experience of its members, the fruits that are best adapted to our climate and soils. In respect to these, our situation is so different from that of horticulturists at the East that, while acknowledging the value of the information derived from them, we find that it will not do to be governed by it entirely. The discussions of our Association are conducted upon the plan of the Northwestern Fruit Growers' Convention, and by these, facts of great importance to the fruit growers of this State are elicited. They will be published about the 1st of February next. We shall be greatly obliged if kindred societies will send us their publications as they are issued. We are small yet - but we are growing! The following is the list of officers for 1856.

Tours, very truly, CHARLEs GIFFORD, Corresponding Secretary.
