14 THE CONNECTICUT POMOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



Second, To use our efforts to increase among' our people 

 a greater appreciation for fine fruits ; to urge them to plant 

 them, care for them intelligently and use them in greater 

 abundance in their daily diet, "esteeming them necessities 

 rather than luxuries" ; to start a campaign of education, that 

 shall explain and call attention to the many advantages of 

 Connecticut lands for the production of high-grade fruit, 

 especially peaches and apples, and the opportunities for 

 profitable development of unproductive farms into fruitful 

 orchards and happy, prosperous rural homes. 



In closing this report, I desire to express my sincere 

 appreciation of the kind assistance of our officers and mem- 

 bers, which it has always been my good fortune to receive. 



With harmony and good-will existing among us in our 

 splendid organization, and realizing its great possibilities, the 

 Society cannot help but grow and prosper in the years to 

 come. 



Respectfully submitted, 



H. C. C. MILES. Secretary.
