FRUIT-GROWERS’ 
ASSOCIATION 
OF WISCONSIN. 
ANNUAL EXHIBITION. 
The Association held its Annual Exhibition in union with 
the State Agricultural Society, at Milwaukee, Sept. 26th 
to 30th. The show was good, considering the unfavorable sea¬ 
son for fruit—surpassing the expectations of the most sanguine. 
During the evenings of the State Fair, meetings for discussion 
were held in the City Council rooms. These were interesting 
and profitable, and we regret that no record of them was pre¬ 
served. 
ANNUAL MEETING. 
The Annual Winter Meeting convened, pursuant to notice, 
at Metropolitan Hall, Whitewater, Thursday, Jan. 19th, 1860, 
at 3 o’clock, and was called to order by the President, A. G. 
Hanford. 
A telegram was received from the Secretary, Mr. Gifford, 
stating his inability to be present, when, on motion, 
0. S. Willey was appointed Secretary, pro tern. 
The attendance was not large, though a considerable portion 
of the State was represented. An interesting show of Apples 
was made, including many leading popular varieties, and some 
comparatively new sorts, among which were fine specimens of 
“Northern Spy,” and “King of Tompkins County.”
