Excerpt from Twenty-Fifth Annual Report of the Secretary of the State Horticultural Society of Michigan, 1895 Upon their arrival, the horticulturists were taken in conveyances for a trip about the grounds and farm, including a large strip of the natural forest which is being improved with a driveway and clearing of the under growth in places, its preservation in others, and the planting of trees where necessary. This will eventually be one of the noblest features of the college. This trip included a view of the farm proper, which was in as good condition as could be expected in this remarkably dry season. Much that was seen was familiar to some of the visitors, but to most it was entirely new, and a revelation which caused many expressions of surprise and warm approval.

Excerpt from Twenty-Seventh Annual Report of the Secretary of the State Horticultural Society of Michigan, 1897 President Morrill was not in attendance the first day, therefore. Vice President Monroe was in conduct of most of the sessions. Mayor Good rich of Grand Haven made a singularly apt address of welcome, to which Mr. Monroe responded. The plan to provide for a display of strawberries for premiums offered by the society was highly successful, the exhibit embracing almost one hundred boxes, nearly all of the very finest and largest fruit. This was true of all the competitive entries. The Agricultural college placed on exhibition sixteen varieties, mostly new and unknown kinds, which were described by Prof. Taft in his talk upon Promising new strawberries It is doubtful if this display was ever exceeded by anything of the kind in Michigan at least. Most of the varieties shown are referred to in the report of the committee on exhibits, so that rehearsal of them here is unnecessary.
