ROCHESTER, N. Y. 



Fruit growers of New York state 

 are expected to merge their organiza- 

 tions in one strong society when they 

 gather in Rochester for their annual 

 convention at Convention Hall, Jan- 

 uary 15 to 17. The old Western New 

 York Horticultural Society and the 

 New York State Fruit Growers Asso- 

 ciation will be linked together in one 

 body to be known as the New York 

 Horticultural Society. Features of the 

 convention will be an exhibition of 

 fruits, which promises to be larger 

 than any ever held here. Niagara 

 County has already shipped a carload 

 of apples, aggregating 175 barrels of 

 the best fruit, and the State Agricul- 

 tural Experiment Station will have its 

 usual display. Every foot of the thou- 

 sands of feet available for exhibits of 

 spray rigs, tractors, trucks, etc., has 

 already been engaged. There will be 

 several speakers of the highest repute 

 and a symposium on tractors and 

 trucks.
