EDITOR^S NOTE. 



nPHE first volume of the proceedings of the Connecticut 

 ■*• Pomological Society, published last year, brought the 

 record of its work up to the beginning of the year 1900. 



Soon after the annual meeting in February, 1900, the 

 Executive Committee of the Society decided that the 

 addresses and discussions of that meeting were of such 

 practical and timely value that they deserved to be incor- 

 porated in a separate volume and published for the imme- 

 diate benefit of the membership. By this plan it would be 

 possible to give a much more complete account of the 

 subjects under discussion than if the attempt were made to 

 cover the entire year's work. 



Notwithstanding the unexpected delay in issuing this 

 report it is believed that its contents will be appre- 

 ciated by our members, and the many instructive words 

 of the various speakers prove helpful in the practical 

 every-day work of all who cultivate fruits for home use 

 or market. 



In the future it will be the aim of the Society to pub- 

 lish with each recurring annual meeting a record of its 

 transactions for the year past.

Secretary.
