NOTICE. 
The Association was organized in December, 1858, for the “purpose of 
collecting, arranging and disseminating facts interesting to those engaged in 
the culture of Fruits, — and to embody for their use the result of practice 
and experiments of Fruit-Growers in all parts of the State:’ To a consid¬ 
erable degree these objects have been successfully carried out; the Associa¬ 
tion having held several exhibitions at which the products of the orchard’ 
from all parts of the State, were bountifully spread, to the astonishment of 
every one who had doubted the possibility of successful Fruit-Culture in 
Wisconsin. 
The severity and peculiarities of the past few seasons have sorely tried the 
faith of “tree planters,” and now to know what varieties have passed 
through and are living examples of what others may be, is the great desire 
of all who are in any way interested in the final success of Fruit-Growing in 
the North-West. 
The price of Annual Membership is one dollar; all persons interested in 
the worthy objects of the Association are earnestly solicited to unite with us 
for their advancement.
