A Brief Record of Field Meetings, 



Institutes, Exhibitions, Etc., 



Held in / 908. 



Summer Field Meetings, 1908. 



The Society's campaign of field meetings in 1908, as in 

 previous years, formed one of the most important features of 

 the year's work. Success attended each eflfort in this line, the 

 gatherings emphasizing once more the great value of an out- 

 door meeting, where fruit growers have the opportunity of 

 studying at first hand the methods employed by successful or- 

 chardists and farmers in various parts of the State. As a day 

 of recreation and social enjoyment also, the field meeting is 

 way ahead of any other form of gathering. 



As conditions for holding the usual strawberry field day 

 in June were somewhat unfavorable, our efiforts were first 

 directed to orchard meetings, since the peach crop of 190cS^ 

 promised to be a bountiful one. 



Accordingly, the following arrangements were made for 

 the 



First Field Meeting of the Season. 



Important Business Meeting

 CONNECTICUT POMOLOGICAL SOCIETY 

 At Wallingford, Conn., June 25th, 1908. 

 In place of our usual June Field Meeting, it has been arranged to 

 hold a gathering of the members 



At the Town Hall^ Wallingford, Thursday, June 25th, 1908, 

 for the purpose of discussing plans for handling the season's Fruit 

 Crops and to visit some of the nearby Wallingford Fruit Farms.
