192 THE CONNECTICUT POMOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



most careful planning in harvesting and marketing the crop, 

 were Mr. Stiles of New York City, A. Warren Patch of 

 Boston, J. M. Hubbard and Mr. Hale. 



The meeting then adjourned to allow of side trips being 

 made to other large orchards in Wallingford and Yalesville, 

 the nurseries and orchards of Barnes Bros., and other points 

 of interest. 



All agreed that it had been a day well spent and to the 

 peach growers especially it is doubtful if a more helpful meet- 

 ing could have been planned. It enabled them to meet the 

 commission men and arrange for markets for their fruit, it 

 enabled them to become familiar with the railroad's shipping 

 arrangements, and, best of all, it put them in touch with the 

 latest and most timely information in regard to the peach 

 crop and the markets. 



The nieeting also proved a strong advertisement for our 

 peaches both at home and abroad. The markets of Boston, 

 New York. Providence, Worcester, Springfield, Hartford, 

 New Haven and Bridgeport were represented by buyers and 

 commission merchants. 



All in all, the "Peach Meeting" of 1905 will long be 

 remembered.
