Gettysburg, January 17, 1906. 



An awakening interest in fruit growing in Adams county, fostered 

 and encouraged by an active local organization, "The Fruit Growers' 

 Association of Adams County," together with a varied and interest- 

 ing program of practical speakers and horticulturists of acknowl- 

 edged ability and reputation, combined to make this a most instruc- 

 tive and interesting occasion. 



The display of fruit, although not so large as some exhibits at 

 previous meetings, was unusually fine, and was an evidence of the 

 growing interest that is being manifested in apple culture in Adams 

 county. 



As a full report of the different exhibits and exhibitors is given 

 elsewhere in detail, no description will be attempted here. 



The following life and annual members have joined the Associa- 

 tion since our last meeting:
