28 THE CONNECTICUT POMOLOGIGAL SOCIETY 



In closing the Committee called attention to the remark- 

 ably fine exhibit of apples sent to the meeting from the New 

 York Experiment Station. Among the varieties of special 

 merit were cited Rome Beauty, Sutton Beauty, York Imperial, 

 Gano, Stark and Blenheim. The following resolution was 

 introduced by Professor GuUey, and passed unanimously: 



Resolved, That the thanks of this Society be, and are 

 hereby, tendered to the State Experiment Station of New 

 York for the beautiful and valuable collection of apples 

 donated for exhibition at this meeting. 



Resolved, That the Secretary be instructed to send a copy 

 of these resolutions to the Director of the New York 

 Experiment Station. 



Professor Britton addressed the Society on the matter 

 of publishing the proceedings of our meetings, and endorsed 

 the suggestions made by the Secretary in his report. He 

 thought that members should be wide awake in their busi- 

 ness, and report promptly to the Society any matters of 

 importance to the fruit growing industry. These reports and 

 the reports of all our meetings should be published annuall}', 

 and thus made available to the people of the state. 



On motion, it was voted that as an aid in extending the 

 influence of this Society, the Pomona of the State Grange 

 and the associate Pomonas of the subordinate granges be 

 enrolled as honorary members of this Societ}^
