 JO.OO A. M. 



The morning session of the second day opened wiih'a 

 ■fine attendance. Pres. Maynard called the meeting to order 

 promptly at 10 o'clock, and asked if the committee on the 

 •Secretary's report was ready. 



Prof. Sears. Chairman of Committee : I want to say, 

 personally, that I think this is an unusually good report and 

 complete in every detail. Your committee wish to recom- 

 mend it in every particular. It sho-ws the hard work that has 

 been done by our enthusiastic, wide-awake Secretary. We 

 ought to find ways of giving advantage to our members, and 

 one way that would be advisable and increase the member- 

 ship w^ould be to give to each member the .subscription of 

 some paper. Something to make the members feel that they 

 are getting more for their money than the outsider. A num- 

 ber of Field Meetings have already been arranged for at 

 different places. Now, some of these would be open meet- 

 ings wbere the public will be invited; others would be re- 

 «trieted to members, as those entertaining may wish. 



Moved and seconded to accept the report. 



Pres. : All in favor please manifest it by saying "Aye." 

 It is a vote. 



Sec 'y Miles, Conn. Pomological Society : I am interest- 

 ed in this report, especially the idea of having the Field 

 Meetings restricted. This idea of restricting to members 

 only is a new idea to me, and I think there might be justice 

 in it. I think, if possible, the advantages of fruit growing 

 should be given to everyone who is interested in it. 



We get invitations for Field ^Meetings during the win- 

 ter, but when the busy season comes on the invitation is apt 

 to be wifchdrawrL
