i8 THE CONNECTICUT POMOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



Another, one hundred berries on a plant set the September 

 previous. 



Of blackberries, Rathbun and Texas easily surpass anything 

 I have heretofore grown, in flavor and size. 



The President : I want to introduce to you, at this point. 

 Mr. Berry of the Hartford Cold Storage Co. 



Mr. Berry: I have been instructed by the Superintendent of 

 the Hartford Cold Storage plant to extend a cordial invitation 

 to the members of this Society to visit our cold storage plant 

 on Windsor street in this city. If you will come and see us we 

 will show you the most modern and up-to-date cold storage 

 plant located in Hartford, or in Connecticut. We should be 

 pleased to have you come out at any time during yovir con- 

 vention. 



The President : I understand that the Auditors appointed 

 to examine the accounts of the Secretary and Treasurer are 

 ready to report. 



Mr. Sternberg : Our report is a very short one. W^e have 

 examined the accounts of the Treasurer, and the vouchers there- 

 for, and we find them all correct. This report is signed by 

 both of the auditors appointed by you, Mr. President. 



The President : You hear the report of the Auditors, what 

 is your pleasure to do with it? 



Mr. Wadsworth : I move it be accepted, and the reports of 

 the Secretary and Treasurer accepted as approved. 



Motion seconded and passed. 



Mr. Sternberg: I wish to offer a suggestion that after this 

 the President appoint the auditors a year in advance, so that 

 the report, or the accounts of the Treasurer, may be audited 

 before his report is presented to the meeting. I think that is 

 the proper way to audit accounts of this character. 



A Member: Mr. President, I make that as a motion. 



The President : I also think that is the proper way. I was 

 a little bit surprised to find that it had not been the custom 

 heretofore. I think it is the right way to do, and I would be 

 glad to fall in with it. 



A Member : There is perhaps liable to be a little difficulty on 



Note. — The above invitation was accepted by vote of the Society, and 

 during the Convention many members availed themselves of the privi- 

 lege extended to visit the plant.
