SEVENTEENTH ANNUAL MEETING. \yj 



Those who remained after the adjouriiinent gathered in 

 the lower hall for a last look at the exhibits and chatting over 

 the events of the meeting- and sampling the fruit from the ex- 

 hibition tables. 



The pleasure and success of the work of the convention 

 was favorably commented on, all agreeing that in many re- 

 spects this annual meeting surpassed those of previous years. 



It was well toward evening before the last fruit grower had 

 <leparted and the gathering of 1908 passed into history.
