Excerpt from Transactions of the Maine State Pomological Society: For the Year 1888

There are so many ways in which our Society is doing a magnificent work in behalf of the various industries it represents, it is extremely difficult to gather the fragments and arrange them in intelligible form for publication. It may be an easy matter to set in order the papers read at our meetings, and to spread out before the reader the various discussions which form so important a feature of our public gatherings. The official action of the Society, so far as it may become a matter of record, may be readily shown in its list of officers, the votes passed, reports of committees, etc. The annual exhibition as announced in premium lists looks well, and so do the tables of fruits and flowers, but the list of awards is all we are able to publish in connection with it. These represent what we may call the visible work of the Society.

Beyond all these the Society is the means of disseminating useful information to the public which none can correctly measure. During the year the officers have been in frequent correspondence not only with Maine fruit growers, but with other persons outside the State, and with other kindred societies. There have been frequent calls for our annual volume of Transactions and for information regarding varieties of fruits and cultural directions. So far as possible it has been a pleasure to respond to these inquiries, though in the absence of any extended publication the answers have necessarily been brief. The extent of the unorganized work is the feature most difficult to determine. To illustrate: - Our last exhibition was one of the best arranged we have ever held. Many of its details are published elsewhere, but the taste shown in the displays of fruits and flowers is the æsthetic feature and can not be shown in print.
