The following letter from Prof. W. M. Munson, who was

 the Secretary: 

 Members of the Maine Pomological Society: 



It was with the keenest regret that I announced to your Sec- 

 retary my inability to be present at this, the annual meeting of 

 the society. 



In lieu of a formal address I wish to congratulate the society 

 on the substantial progress made during the past year, and 

 would state that never before has the society been in better con- 

 dition for advancing the interests of horticulture in our State. 



Owing to the death of Secretary Cook, and the illness of other 

 officers, the program as outlined at our last meeting has not 

 been strictly carried out. Some pomological schools have been 

 held and others are planned for, and will be held during the 

 month of December.
