His critical knowledge freely and faithfully devoted to this important 

 department of the Society's work has been of the greatest value, and he 

 had come to be regarded as a leading authority in the judging and nomen- 

 clature of fruits. 



His many estimable qualities of character also had won the respect and 

 kindly regard of all who knew him. 



It is voted, therefore, to express to the members of his family our sincere 

 sympathy in the loss they have sustained by his death, and to convey to 

 them the assurance of the esteem in which he w^as held by his associate 

 members of the Board, and their appreciative recognition of his long and 

 valuable service in the interests of this Society. 



The memorial was adopted and a copy ordered to be sent to the 

 family of the deceased.

 ring through the death of Mr. Fenno, and called for nominations 

 to fill the same in accordance with the provisions of the By-laws.
