American Pomological Society #1

We learn, through President Wilder, that the 17th of September next has been appointed for. the meeting of the American Pomological Society, in Boston. The arrangement has been made in connection with the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, whose exhibition will take place at the same time. A committee has been appointed to make the necessary arrangements, and Mr. Wilder promises to make "all as comfortable as possible," and we have no doubt he will do it. The next session will be one of pecuiiar interest, owing to the important measures to be brought before it, and every member should go with his opinions well matured. We hope to see the fruit list at least thoroughly "revised and amended." Let every one bear in mind this meeting, and prepare for it.

We hope the variety and value of the articles in our present number will atone in a measure for some shortcomings in our last issue.

American Pomological Society #1

We elsewhere print the circular of the American Pomological Society. We are glad to know that the disturbed condition of the country will not interrupt its appointed meeting. The number of delegates will necessarily be fewer than at the last meeting in Philadelphia, and the country at large will not be fully represented. This is deeply to be regretted, but is no sufficient reason for postponing the biennial meeting. The business to be transacted will be the most important that has yet occupied the Society's attention. The imperfections of the Catalogue of fruits has long been seen and acknowledged. One important part of the Society's proceedings will be to remove these imperfections; every member should consequently come fully prepared to do his part in making the Catalogue as nearly perfect and reliable as may be. Each member should study the catalogue thoroughly, and scrutinize the claims of each particular fruit, divesting himself as far as possible of all prejudice, pro or con. A scrutiny of this kind is needed, not only for the List of Fruits for General Cultivation, but for the List of Rejected Fruits, and all others.

It is quite necessary to have a list for trial, but it is complimentary neither to our judgment nor knowledge to place on that list fruits that have been grown all over the country for half a century. It is quite time that such fruits should have some definite place assigned to them. Let something be done, too, for our pomological nomenclature. We hope the standing committees and all the members of the Society will go to Boston fully prepared for the work before them.

American Pomological Society #2

At the moment of writing the Pomological Society is in session in Boston, we hope with a good attendance. Being too much indisposed to undertake the journey, we fear we shall not be able to give the pro-ceedings till our next issue. The Society being one of our own children, we feel the disappointment deeply.

The American Pomological Society #3

We have received from President Wilder the accompanying circular, to which we give place with the hope that it may aid the Society in hastening the publication of the proceedings of its last session.

"The undersigned, President of the American Pomological Society, congratulates the culti vators of fruit and the public generally upon the gratifying progress which the science of Pomology has made in our country. This advance is mainly to be attributed to the establishment and influence of Horticultural and Pomological Societies. Prominent among these is the American Pomological Society, embracing, as it does. within its organization all the States and Territories of the Union, the Canadas, and the Eastern British Provinces. This Association held its Ninth Session in the city of Boston, during the last month. The attendance was large, embracing nearly two hundred delegates and members, and in which fourteen States and Territories were represented. The contributions of fruit were numerous, and the discussions of a highly interesting character. These, like the former proceedings, are to be published in the Volumes of the Society, and in which will also appear the New Catalogue of Fruits, together with a list of the various States and districts to which they are best adapted.

"All persons who are desirous of obtaining these Transactions, are respectfully solicited to become members of the Society, by forwarding to Thomas P. James, Esq., Treasurer, Philadelphia, or the undersigned, at Boston, the requisite fees. Ten dollars constitute a life and two dollars a biennial Membership. Life members will be furnished, as far as possible, with the back volumes of the Society's Publications.

"Persons desirous of responding to this Circular will please do so immediately, that their names may appear in the forthcoming volume.

"Marshall P. Wilder, President"
