T^S THE CONNECTICUT POMOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



One feature which I have introduced in my senior po- 

 mology class is the getting of packages of fruit from all the 

 famous fruit regions; from Hood River, Oregon, British Co- 

 lumbia, and other places, so that the boys may see the very 

 best types of packing and packages. The fruit from these 

 places comes out of the packages without a bruise or blemish, 

 every apple wrapped in paper, the right kind of boxes used ; 

 often the wrapper around each apple contains some attractive 

 design or some advertising literature. While we here in New 

 England are too often content to shake from the tree and dump 

 them into barrels for market. We need to learn lessons along" 

 many lines, but none more imperatively than along the line of 

 packing our fruit. 



Prof. Sears' very interesting address was attentively lis- 

 tened to and greatly appreciated by all present. 



At 12.30 a recess for dinner was declared. 



Before adjournment Mr. Hale called attention to the 

 Fruit Banquet, to be held in the evening, at Jewell Hall, and 

 urged all to secure tickets and attend.
