STATE POMOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 175 



HERE AND THERE. 



Mr. Henry H. Cook of Presque Isle, sent a box of seedlings to 

 our winter meeting. They were examined with much interest. It 

 was thought these were the Stowe Apple, though we had none 

 with which to compare them. They were very good specimens. 



From Delano Moore of Prescjue Isle, the secretary received a 

 box of seedling apples from Aroostook, among which were 

 some good specimens of Peach, Duchess, Fameuse and Dudley. 

 Although there were some good apples among the seedlings, the 

 secretary is inclined to believe there will be found apples better 

 adapted to Aroostook than these. The examination, however, 

 was imperfect at best, and not under circumstances favorable for 

 drawing definite conclusions. It is hoped Mr. Moore and others 

 wall continue experimenting until the right varieties are found. 



The Josselyn Botanical Society held its third annual meeting 

 in Foxcroft. The papers and discussions presented at the meet- 

 ing were of a high order and deserve to be published. The 

 society is doing an excellent work in awakening a wider interest 

 in the study of botany and are also doing much in the more prac- 

 tical wav of studvinof the flora of the State.
