American Pomologieal Society. 
ORGANIZED 1848. 
SPECIAL TO LIBRARIES. 
To the Librarian: 
This Society wishes to place a set of its Proceedings in 
every important library, so far as they can he supplied. The 
volumes are published each alternate year and can be furnished 
complete as far back as 1871, together with a few earlier num¬ 
bers. Prior to that date they were printed in octavo, since then 
in quarto form. The volumes contain from 150 to 250 pages 
each, and are well indexed. They are supplied only to mem¬ 
bers of the Society, the fee for each session being four dollars, 
or twenty dollars for life membership. By taking a life mem¬ 
bership, in the name of the librarian or some other officer, a 
library can secure all of the obtainable back volumes, together 
with all future volumes during the life of the applicant. 
The Proceedings of this Society contain the most valuable 
collection of papers upon fruits and fruit growing that have 
ever been published. The tabular Catalogue of Fruits, which 
has formed a .part of each volume for the past twenty years, 
is revised at each biennial session and adds greatly to the 
expense and value of the work. 
The contributors are all of them successful fruit growers or 
men of national reputation in the sciences related to the cultiva¬ 
tion of fruits. The volume for 1889 contains papers by fifty 
writers, including such names as the following: 
Hon. H. E. VanDeman, U. S. Pomologist, Washington, I).C.; 
Dr. C. Y. Riley, U. S. Entomologist, Washington, D. C.; J. L. 
Budd, Professor of Horticulture in the Iowa Agricultural Col¬ 
lege; E. S. Goff, Professor of Horticulture in the University of 
Wisconsin; Dr. C. E. Bersey, Professor of Botany in the Univ¬ 
ersity of Nebraska; Barnett Brothers, Commission Merchants, 
Chicago; Hon. T. T. Lyon, President of the Michigan Horticul¬ 
tural Society. 
Many libraries are now receiving these Proceedings on the 
life membership plan. If you desire to obtain them I should 
be glad to supply them or to furnish any additional information.
