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. 1t is, there
fore hoped that there will be full attend
ance of delegates from the South and the
West. as well as from other quarters of our
country, thereby stimulating more extern
siye cultivation upon which the North are
so largely dependent for supplies, thus, also,
by the concentrated information and expe-
rience of cultivators, 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 p.
Barry, Chairman of the General Fruit Com
mittee, agreeably to the constitution of the
Society, such information and lists of fruits
as NAV aid in determining what varieties
are best adapted to their several localities. |
These reports should be transmitted by |
mail to F. r. Elliott, Secretary, Cleveland, |
Ohio, as early as possible.
Arrangements have been made with the
various railroad companies terminating IN
Richmond to return all members and 9TH
ers free of charge who have paid full fare in
coming, and who exhibit certificates of the
treasurer that they have attended the ses-
sions of the Society. Similar arrangements
can undoubtedly be made by the various
delegations with roads in their localities.
Members and delegates are requested to
contribute specimens of the fruits Of their
respective districts, and to communicate IN
regard to them whatever may aid in pro-
noting the objects of the Society and the
