from the Pacific Northwest that they will never get over, and 

 I should like exceedingly to see that done. 



I am very sorry I didn't bring more apples. I have plenty 

 of them in cold storage. Now don't understand these apples 

 that are being distributed are any better than your Connecticut 

 apples, but they are just different, that is all. 



Now, Mr. President, I think I have detained you people 

 about as long as I ought. It is about time for adjournment, 

 and with your permission, I think I will close my talk at this 

 point. (Applause.) 



Mr. Lupton's splendid address of nearly an hour, was at- 

 tentivelv listened to and appreciated by all present. The audi- 

 ence especially appreciated ]\Ir. Lupton's gift of samples of 

 Virginia grown Albemarle Pippin apples which were distrib- 

 uted at the close of the address. All were glad of an opportun- 

 itv of tasting the high quality of these famous apples, several 

 boxes of which had graced the stage earlier in the meeting. 

 Mr. Lupton's presence and the inspiration of his address added 

 greatly to the success of the convention. 



President Rogers : We are going to open the session 

 this afternoon at one-thirty. Vice-President Drew will be 

 in charge and Prof. Wilson of New York is going to give 

 a demonstration in apple packing right on the stage before 

 vou. Be sure and be here on time. We will now take a recess 

 until one-thirty.
