FIFTEENTH ANNUAL MEETING. lo/ 



duriiii^ the nig-ht and may be killed by hand in large numbers 

 the following- morning. 



The speaker pointed out the desirability of keeping a con- 

 stant watch on shade and fruit trees so that, if these latter 

 insects reach Connecticut, the infestation may be promptly 

 wiped out. The desirability and justice of national aid in 

 suppressing the gypsy and brown-tail moths was also strongly 

 expressed. 



The very enjoyable and profitable evening session closed 

 at lo o'clock. 



(Note. — After the session closed the tree wardens present 

 gathered in a room of the lower hall and held a conference on 

 matters connected with their special work. This conference 

 laid the foundations for the organization of the "Connecticut 

 Tree Wardens Association," which has since been formed for 

 the purpose of furthering the important work of beautif\'ing 

 our highways and protecting the natural beauties of the state. 

 Without doubt the success of the movement is assured and it 

 is a source of gratification that the Pomological Society, in its 

 1906 annual meeting, was, in a large measure, responsible for 

 bringing this about.)
