8 STATE POMOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



Maine are squarely facing the question, and some of us may live 

 to know how much our fertile hillsides, under the skilful manipula- 

 tion of the horticulturists, may be made to produce. We are just 

 getting down to the question in good shape, and the next four 

 years are promising many interesting revelations. 



Our society is also indebted to these and other journals in the 

 State, which have published our notices and full reports of our 

 meetings, and we find with us at this our annual meeting a full 

 representation of the press. We are glad to welcome them here 

 and to greet them as co-laborers in carrying forward the great 

 industry which we represent. 



We were gratified at the full reports published of our annual 

 meeting. We are always glad to welcome the members of the 

 press at our meetings, but we recognize them as co-laborers in car- 

 rying forward the great industry which we represent. 



D. H. KNOWLTON, Secretary.
