Transactions of the Maine State Pomological Society: For the Year 1901 (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Excerpt from Transactions of the Maine State Pomological Society: For the Year 1901

Pan-American Exhibit.

The year has been a very busy one for the Pomological society and an unusually large amount of work has been accomplished. It will be remembered that at our winter meeting in Norway Charles S. Pope was instructed to secure contributions of fruit for the purpose of making an exhibition of fruit at Buffalo. Two hundred and fifty dollars was appropriated by the executive committee later on and the same amount was granted by the Legislature. At the Brooks meeting the secretary was instructed to install the exhibition of fruit at Buffalo, but the sickness of his partner prevented his attending to this work, and arrangements were made with Prof. Munson to look after this work. The secretary visited Buffalo the first of June and had the judge's examination made, giving special prominence to the excellent keeping and market qualities of our fruit. Prof. Munson in his article on "Maine Fruit at the Pan-American Exposition," gives a full report of the society's proceedings and the excellent results secured by the exhibition. It is of interest here to note that without a dissenting voice the legislature granted the society $250 to aid in carrying on this work, while it defeated every attempt to secure aid for other exhibition purposes. The secretary congratulates the society on this mark of confidence on the part of our law makers.

The Awards At Buffalo.

It is a matter of congratulation that the Maine fruit shown by Prof. Munson at the meeting of the American Pomological society held at Buffalo was awarded a bronze medal. As few of these were awarded the fact is deemed worthy of this public mention.
