Excursion to Blackwood Experimental Orchard, February 

 10, 1923. — A party of members visited the Orchard under the 

 leadership of Mr. Kimber. The manager, Mr. Fowler, showed 

 members round the orchard, and the afternoon was profitably 

 spent in inspecting the many kinds of fruit trees, of which 

 there are over 4,000 varieties in the orchard. The insect and 

 other pests which afflict the orchard were discussed, and the 

 manager gave the members an informative talk on the aims 

 and methods of the experimental orchard.
