Following" the Annual Meeting in February, the Society 

 held during 1909 ten Institutes, two summer Field Meetings, 

 — one at the large peach orchards of the Barnes Brothers, in 

 Durham, on August 6, the other a splendid two-days' gather- 

 ing at the Connecticut Agricultural College at Storrs, Aug- 

 ust 24-25 ; a third Field Day was planned for at the Hale & 

 Coleman orchards in Seymour, but stormy weather prevented 

 holding it ; and the Twelfth Annual Fruit Exhibition held in 

 connection with the State Fair at Berlin, September 14-17. 



Each of these events was carefully arranged, thoroughly 

 advertised and largely attended by our members and other 

 farmers and those interested in fruits. 



Your Executive Committee has met frequently through- 

 out the year, and with the help and counsel of interested 

 members, has been able to plan and execute the Society's work 

 with much success and to the advantage of the membership 

 and the state at large. 



Of the Annual Exhibition it may be said, in brief, that 

 once again the fruit growers of Connecticut demonstrated 

 their ability to bring together a magnificent show of fine 

 fruits and this in spite of the short and rather poor apple 

 crop.
