Summer Meeting. 99 



Pomological Society has decided to hold its next biennial meeting in 

 Kansas City, August 9 to 10, 1905. 



I want to leave no stone unturned in my efforts to make this the 

 finest association the Society has ever held. I feel confident of the possi- 

 bilities of doing this, being backed by your own vigorous personality and 

 knowing the active and aggressive character of the work of your associ- 

 ation. I hope that the fullest publicity will be given to the meeting and 

 its objects at your summer session of the Fruit Growers' Association. 

 I hope that there will be no sectional feeling in connection with the hold- 

 ing of the meeting at Kansas City, so that fruit growers from both sides 

 of the river may unite to make the whole thing an unqualified success. 



I shall take up the matter of programme very soon and shall be glad 

 of any suggestions that you feel disposed to make. We shall, in a meas- 

 ure, depend upon our western friends to furnish subject-matter for the 

 meeting. Yours sincerely, 



John Craig, Secretary.

 or time. Respectfully yours, 



William H. Barnes, Secretary.

Dear Sir — Your favor of the 25th, in reference to the meeting of the 

 American Pomological Society, at hand. I am pleased to hear that you
