STATE POMOLOGICAL SOCIETY, 1 59 



top of the market. Hoping these suggestions may open up dis- 

 cussion, and point out a way to get more profit and pleasure 

 from our orchards, I leave the matter for your consideration. 



Mr. KEITH, AVinthiop. 

 The paper presented to us by our secretary has prompted me 

 to make mention of it if nothing more. When we moved to 

 have the "Pomological Society" hold their winter meeting here 

 we wanted you and we are certainly glad that you came, that 

 you accepted the invitation and we are thankful to the people 

 of the town for backing us up. In his paper the secretary sug- 

 gested that some arrangement be adopted through which we 

 could sell our apples with a better understanding than we have 

 during the past winter, and we members of the Winthrop 

 Grange propose to invite Mr. Knowlton to meet us some time 

 soon and formulate some plans through which our fruit in the 

 future can be sold.
