American Pomological Society. — A little delay in going to press 

 makes possible a brief reference to the biennial meeting of this society, at this 

 date, Sept. 23d, a thing of the past. Besides the regularly appointed dele- 

 gate from this society, Wyman Elliot, there were in attendance from Micne- 

 s )ta Prof. .S B. Green and the writer. We enjoyed meeting there especially 

 Prof. R. L. Mackintosh and a large number of other friends, many well known 

 for their valuable work in the horticultural field. Two of us returned home 

 the night of Thursday, Sept. 22, following the close of the final session, but 

 Mr. Elliot remained and went south that night with about fifty other mem- 

 bers of the society for a five days' visit in the orchard regions of south Mis. 

 souri and northern Arkansas, of which we shall hear, as also about the meet- 

 ing, from him in the November number.
