III your paper Of 18th inst. notice m article
frt'm the eminent pomo!ug;st, X. H. j., ccnsur-
ing 1l,c course pursued in discussions ut the
Bloomington meeting Of tic Illinois State llur-
ticultural Society in December last, AS one Of
the secretaries Of the n,retin4, it may seem pro-
per for me +" apologize for tic very imperfect
report Of proceedings.
T!nsc present ut the meeting considered tho
address Of Rural on shelter, the essay If
Mr.. Bryant on insects injurious to the apple,
i:lr prolonged discussinnso on undertaking and
shelter, with l'rol. Turner'S practical address, If
ncsti.nablc value to planters Of orchards as
well as nurscryn,cn. The fact asccrtaiucd that
.foHr varieties Of apples tkeswick Goblin, Fa-
mrusc, Fulton. and Wincsar,) were universally
recommended would alone pay to the or':AorA-
;xf* Of Illinois thc expense which ""rserymea
incurred in attending the meeting.
In Il session Of only f;nar days, besides mat
tcrs mentioned above, much valuable expert
cncc, Will, various sna! fruits, was elected, and
j commencement Madc on the cultivation of
nipple trecs, beginning nj the root Of the matter,
or rather at the seed, and continued tn the point
where trees were ready for setting in orchard.
Forty days could bc fully occupied iu discussing
matters of interest.
IT our next meeting hope "K. X. j." mud
Ill "ti,er good pnmologists "f thu Stale and the
Cnion, will be present, AMI tell lis how to ,las,-
asc our orchards to produce :s fine specimens
of apples US those exhibited ut bloomington
