cases we should pattern after our brothers across the river, and in 

 doing so, it would result in profit to us. 



It was a A'ery pleasant trip, and we were very glad to have been 

 honored by an election as delegate from your society. I hope in 

 sdme wav we mav be able to give vou some of the benefit that we 

 derived ourselves. 



MR. YOUNGS. — I want to say that I am a member of the Erie 

 Horticultural Society. I don't know whether you feel like making 

 a visit so far away, but I want to extend to this Association, and 

 its members, a very cordial invitation to come over to our place. 

 We have plenty of hotels to take care of you, and we would like to 

 see you. You will find our latch string is out. Of course, it is a 

 matter of three hundred and fifty miles over there, but you can get 

 a reduced rate, and we can also have a side trip and go down through 

 the Chautauqua grape belt region. It would be a delightful place to 

 meet. 



THE PRESIDENT. — I am very sorry the gentleman was not in 

 the room when the question was up for the selection of another 

 place. We had only one invitation. I have been in that farming 

 community, and I w^ould like to see this association meet in Erie, for 

 I think it would be a good thing. They have been in the business of 

 growing fruit for many years, and can give us a great many points 

 as to fruit growing. I hope Mr. Youngs will be at our next meeting, 

 and extend that invitation to us. for I think it would be of great 

 advantage to meet there. I don't think it would do us much good 

 to go to Niagara Falls, because most of us went there on our wedding 

 trip, but to go through that great Chautauqua grape belt would be 

 of great benefit. 



MR. YOUNGS. — If you feel inclined to come and meet with us a 

 year from your next meeting, you can come, whether we are here or 

 not. You can correspond with us, and we will respond. 



RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN SCALE REMEDIES.

It strikes me that it is unnecessary to speak at length on 

 this subject when I am publishing in my bulletins each 

 month the latest and most reliable facts that are to be obtained 

 concerning it. These bulletins are sent free of charge to all who 

 are interested in them and extra copies are kept for distribution 

 among people who make special calls for them. The formulae are 

 there printed in detail and it would be better to use them than to 

 have mo here repeat what they contain.
