STATE POMOLOGICAL SOCIETY. H 



though held in January, was arranged for in 1899, and the 

 expenses were met from that year's funds.) In these meetings 

 an effort was made to meet the special needs of the particular 

 localities where the meetings were held, as well as to bring out 

 thoughts which should be applicable to the whole State. 



THE OUTLOOK. 



While encouragement of the pomological interests of the State 

 should remain the primary object of the society, more attention 

 should be given to beautifying the homes of Maine, and to 

 fostering a love for attractive surroundings. It is hoped that 

 during the ensuing year these subjects may be more fully devel- 

 oped. Never before in the history of the State was the outlook 

 more promising for intelligent earnest effort along horticultural 

 lines, and never before in its history has the Maine Pomological 

 Society been so well able to come to the aid of those interested 

 in the work which it represents.
