154 THE CONNECTICUT POMOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



not (juite enough time left for discussions and questions, but 

 this fault can be remedied another year, and after all every 

 feature was so good, who would have voted to leave out any 

 one of them? 



The musical program, a new feature this year, added much 

 to the pleasure of the session, and all were delighted with our 

 lady speaker — Mrs. Fullerton. 



The thanks of the Society are due all who contributed in 

 any way to the success of the meeting and especially to those 

 whose efforts resulted in the fine decorations of the hall and 

 stage. 



The fruit display was arranged by Messrs. Root and Cooke 

 of Farmington, Hale of Glastonbury, Manchester of Bristol 

 and Professor Gulley. The fruit used in making up the dis- 

 play was contributed by these gentlemen, also Mr. G. W. 

 Staples of Hartford ; Newton, Robertson & Co., Hartford, 

 who furnished splendid boxes of native and ^^"estern apples; 

 Mr. Woody of Colorado, who was justly proud of his dark 

 red Western fruit, and the City Hall Grocery of Hartford, 

 who sent in an attractive basket of fruits. 



A larg-er numl)er of new members were added to the roll 

 than in any previous year, and all in all the meeting was a 

 grand one, marking a most auspicious beginning of a pros- 

 perous new year iov the Society and for the fruit growers of 

 Connecticut.
