In conformity with |, resolution adopted /
at the last meeting Of this National Associ-
alton. the undersigned hereby give notice
that its thirteenth session will be held IN
Assembly Hall, Eighth street, between
Grace and Franklin streets. IN the CITY OF
Richmond, Virginia., on the 9th, 7th, and
Sth days Of September, 1871. All Horti-
cultural. Pathological, Agricultural, and
other Kindred institutions in the United
States and British Provinces, are invited to
send delegations as large as they may deem
expedient and all other persons interested
in the cultivation of fruits are invited to be
present and take seats in the Convention.
The coming session promises to be espe-
cially interesting, held as it will be in con-
junction with the exhibition of the Virginia
genealogical and Horticultural Society, and
at a great central point, farther South than
any previous session of the institution.
This meeting will, therefore, it is believed
be one of the most useful, in national
pojnt of view, than has ever been held by
the Society, thus affording an opportunity
not only to examine the fruits of the South
in comparison with those of the North, the
West and of the Pacific Slope, which it is.
expected will be freely contributed, but also
to foster and perpetuate the amicable and
social relations which have heretofore ex-
listed between the members Of the Society,
and to widely diffuse the result of its delib-
erations for the benefit of our constantly
expanding territory Al. .ltE ;
The climate of Virginia and adjacent
States is believed TO be admirably adapted
to the culture of fruits, especially the pear,
the grape and the strawberry. It's, there
fore. hoped that there will be a full attend
go III, fro, ba ~
West, as well as from other quarters of our
country, thereby stimulating more extern
sive cultivation upon which the North are
SO largely dependent for supplies, thus, also,
bv the concentrated information and eXpe-
rience Of cnltivators, to aid the Society in
completing the Second Division of its Gaia
logue of Fruits, being that part which per-
tains especially to the Southern States.-
This will be one of the prominent subjects
which will come before the Society, and we,
therefore, respectfully invite the various
State and Local Committees to report to Z
Barry. Chairman of the General Fruit Com
mittee, agreeably to the constitution Of th'
Society, such information and lists of fruits
as may aid in determining what varieties
are best adapted to their several localities
These reports should be transmitted by
mail to f. Il. Elliott, Secretary, Cleveland
Ohio, as early as possible.
Arrangements have been made with tn,
various railroad companies termlnatingsil
Richmond to return all members and 9th
ers free Of charge who have paid full fare i
coming, and who exhibit certificates of tn
treasurer that they have attended the ses
sions of the Society. Similar arrangement
can undoubtedly be made by the varlou
delegations with roads in their localities.
