teresting reading matter, I feel this 

 convention and tlie subjects handled 

 are so valuable in affording suggestions 

 for other conventions that I feel justi- 

 fied in treating this subject in rather a 

 lengthy way, and I confess I have taken 

 particular interest in doing so because 

 I graduated from the University of 

 California in 1880, and the great fruit 

 industry of the State of California is 

 largely responsible to the University 

 Experiment Station for the advice and 

 instructions it has given. I trust the 

 many very interesting speakers whose 

 addresses or names have not been 

 mentioned in this article, as our space 

 is limited, will kindly pardon me for 

 the omission, because I have confined 

 myself principally to the kinds of fruit 

 which are grown throughout the United 

 States in general and the Northwest in 

 particular, where "Better Fruit" has 

 the largest part of its circulation. I 

 beg the pardon of all the speakers upon 

 citrus subjects for lack of mention of 

 them individually, and in explanation 

 would say that such subjects would 

 only be interesting in California, where 

 the citrus fruits can be grown; and, fur- 

 thermore, I hardily feel able to make 

 any comment on addresses on citrus 

 fruits, for the reason I have no knowl- 

 edge of this branch of horticulture. In 

 conclusion I want to say that the 

 canned-fruit output of California is 

 the largest industry of the state. 



Obituary 



Clarence M. Stark passed to his re- 

 ward on Saturday, May 30, at his home 

 in Louisiana, Missouri. Born in 1855, 

 Mr. Stark spent practicrdly his entire 

 life in orchard and nursery work, and 

 for many years prior to 1903, when he 

 retired from active business, he was 

 the president of Stark Bro's Nurseries 

 and Orchards Company of Louisiana, 

 Missouri, which business owes the 

 greater part of its success and enlarge- 

 ment to his sagacious management. It 

 was he who named and gave to the 

 world the Delicious ai)ple, and the 

 introfluction of many other valuable 

 varieties is due to his untiring ctTorts. 

 In his demise horticulture has lost a 

 willing worker, the world an able 

 pomologist, and the Stark family a ten- 

 der, loving father and brother.
