Summer Field Meetin§:s in 1901. 



Probably no single feature of the Pomological Society's work 

 has contributed so much to its success as the series of field meet- 

 ings held during the summer months on fruit farms throughout 

 the State. These unique out-door gatherings were begun early 

 in the history of the Society, and have been a source of great 

 pleasure and profit to the members and their many friends who 

 are always made welcome.

 The 1901 Strawberry Field Meeting at Bristol. 



To have the opportunity of visiting a successful fruit grower 

 and noting his conditions, methods and results exactly as they 

 exist, is worth all, and much more, than the little time and 

 expense involved in attending these field days, to say nothing 

 of the social pleasures and welcome recreation ; while the 

 benefits derived by the host himself in the way of suggestion 

 and encouragement surely makes the meeting worth while.
