STATE POMOLOGICAL SOCIETY. II 



OTHER MATTERS. 



The following pages contain much that was presented at the 

 meetings held during the year. The papers are of unusual merit 

 and bear directly on the interests of Maine fruit growing. 



It has been a pleasure to have with us during the year the 

 representatives of four different experiment stations : Prof. 

 F. A. Waugh, Vermont ; Prof. Fred W. Card, New Jersey ; 

 Prof. W. M. Munson, Orono, and Prof. John Craig, Ithaca, 

 N. Y. The names are so familiar in horticultural literature it 

 seemed like meeting old friends. It was a great disappointment 

 to many that Prof. Corbett of the Department of Agriculture at 

 Washington was detained by a severe cold. It has been the effort 

 of the management of the society to bring Maine fruit growers 

 into touch with the best horticultural teachings of the country. 

 The papers published will give the reader some idea of what 

 these teachings are.
