rooms.
The following address to Southern
California horticulturists has been is
sued and ststes the matter in deatail:
1t has been definitely decided that the
American Pathological society, which
held its twenty-iourth session in Sacra-
mento from January 10Th to 18Th. Inc
elusive, will hold an adj eurned meeting
in the rooms OF the chamber OF COM
mercs, Los Angeles. January 20. 1895,
under the auspices of the Pathological
society Of Southern California, the
chamber of com merce, the Farmers in.
stitute and the Horticultural society.
This meeting will be of the utmost im-
portance to the fruit growers of South
ern California, and merits the attention
oil every orchardist in this section; in
TACT. all who take any interest in eco
nomic and ornamental plants. Fruit
growing being our Basic industry, we
should do everything within our power
to make this meeting of the widest edu-
cational significance to pomology. The
visiting delegates, by reason of long ex-
perienoe and training in all branches OF
profitable fruit production. represent
the most advanced practical and
scientific thought in pomology and kinr
dred branches of an enlightened horti-
culture. Owing to this fact it is de.
signed to make the nesting memoir
able one. You are earnestly requested
to be present.
Among the more striking features OF
the nesting 1t has been decided to give
an exhibition of such fruits, both citrus
and deciduous, as may be available. in
addition to the permanent exhibit of the
chamber of commerce. This display
will be arranged in conformity with good
taste; the decorative features to be Inns
tied to cut blooms and ornamental foliage
plants. Quality rather than quantity
will be aimed at. Growers having choice
fruit should send samples-six or more
of kind will be- suffieient-marke
"for pomological exhibit" to Mr.. Frank
Wiggine, superintendent chamber OF
commerce, Los Angeles, before January
18th. 1t is particularly desirable that
new varieties and new classes of fruit, or
fruits about which there is some doubt
concerning proper classification and
nomenclature, should be sent in freely
from all sections. in order to have the
same properly classified and correctly
named. This applies more particularly
to apples and pears. A special commit
tee of expert pomologists OF the Ameri-
can Pathological society will be APP
pointed to examine and report upon all
such fruits. Samples OF nuts, of cured,
preserved and dried fruits are also solo.
tied for exhibition. 1t is designed to
make q typical showing of economic and
ornamental. horticulture as it really ex-
lists in Southern California in midwinter.
The several committeea request that you
will contribute and in every way aid to
bring this abont.
Owing to the fact that the meeting is
more in the nature of social event
than regular session. the program me to
be carried out will be more or less in-
formal. Impromptu speeches, besides
several papers germane to the subject of
pomology, will be read. The leading
feature OF the session, however, will be
free and open exchange of opinions
and sentiments between the fruit grow
ers of the far and middle east, with
those of the far and middle west. You
are invited to participate in these dis
cushions and meet personally the visit
ing delegates of the American Pomolog-
Southern California.
Iu addition to the above tho several
committees have in view q number of
excursions. including trip over the
kite.shaped track of the Southern Cali
ifornia railway. with short stops at Po-
mona, Ontario, Rsdlands, Riverside and
other points Of interest to pomologists.
Following. a trip to Pasadena, and up
Echo mountain is also in contemp ation,
coupled with an excursion TO Santa
Monica, San Pedro or Redondo beach.
Interspersed with these features will be
carriage drives and such other entertain
ment as the people at different points
may arrange for. The several commit
tees hope that you will lend your aid
and assistance to make the visit of the
American Pomologioal society to South
ern California mutually pleasant and
profitable.
Realizing that time 10 short, the COM
mittee cordially ask the support of the
city and suburban papers to give the
meeting wide publicity in their coll
umns, especially calling attention to its
Importance to pomologv by atimu lating
an interest in tho horticultural exhibi-
ton and ita attendant purpose. The
