PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS 



Members mid Friends of the Connecticut Pomological Society: 

 We are again assembled for our annual interchange of ideas 

 and experience, and I trust the importance of the session will 

 at least equal that of its predecessors. The Secretary has 

 prepared a good program ; still this is only a leader to the dis- 

 cussions which bring out fully the experiences of the speakers 

 and others, and that experience can be obtained best by freely 

 asking questions by those desiring information. To our friends 

 from a distance, we tender a hearty welcome, and invite them 

 to take part in these discussions, and share all the good things 

 of the meetinsf with us.
