By the aid of this committee, compo-sed, as it is, 

 of men of practical knowledge, the Congress of 

 Fruit-Growers will, it is hoped, be able, at no 

 very distant day, completely to achieve the irnpor- 

 tant objects which the public has entrusted to its 

 care. To do this, time, careful investigation, as 

 well as active correspondence, and comparison of 

 facts, are necessary. But these, we are satisfied, 

 will not be wanting ; and we confidently look for- 

 ward to this body of practical cultivators, and 

 scientific pomologists, to achieve what neither local 

 societies nor experimental gardens can possibly 

 achieve, in a country so broad and so varied in its 

 soil and climate as the United States. We are 

 satisfied, from what we saw of the intelligence and 

 the admirable spirit, which actuated the whole as- 

 sembly at its first session, that it embodies the 

 talent and experience necessary to bring about the 

 desired results ; and we congratulate the agricul- 

 tural and horticultural interests of the country on 

 the formation of an association, so pregnant with 

 usefulness to every cultivator of the orchard or the 

 garden.
