-of orchards, and was frequently called upon for expert advice 

 in contested cases. 



Mr. Moore was also passionately fond of flowers and 

 their culture, his home being always surrounded by these 

 beauties of nature. He filled a large place in his home, his 

 town, the State, in our Society and among his friends — a place 

 no other can ever fill. Roswell A. Moore was one of God's 



noblemen, and we shall ever hold him in loving memory. 



Walter A. Warren, of Rockzille, died suddenly late in 

 the year 1907. Mr. Warren was a young man of fine char- 

 acter, and his loss is deeply felt by his family and the many 

 members of the Society who knew him. He was a graduate 



' of the. Connecticut Agricultural College, and for a number of 

 years afterward filled the position of assistant to Prof. GuUey 

 in the Department of Horticulture. At the time of his death 

 he was associated with Mr. GuUey in the management of an 



• extensive fruit farm near Rockville. 



Frederic Ellsworth, of Hartford, died in January, 1908. 

 He had been an interested member of the Society for many 

 vears and was a regular attendant at all of the meetings. Mr. 

 Ellsworth was well known in Hartford and vicinity as a suc- 

 cessful farmer and also for many years as a dealer in ferti- 

 lizers and agricultural supplies. 



\\'hile this volume is in preparation comes the sad news 

 of the death of Mr. Edwin Hoyt, of New Canami, wlio 

 passed away on April 17, 1908. 



Mr. Hoyt had been sick only a few days and therefore 

 his passing came as a great shock to his wide circle of friends. 



Mr. Hoyt was actively connected with the Society and 

 its work from its first inception, and had held various posi- 

 tions of prominence in the organization. 



He thoroughly believed in organization for the farmer and 

 fruit grower, and embraced every opportunity to urge his 

 brother growers to join hands and work together for the ad- 

 vancement of their business.
