Excerpt from Address Delivered at the Fifteenth Session of the American Pomological Society: Held in Chicago, Illinois, Sept; 8, 9, 10, 1875
Gentlemen, your presence in such goodly numbers affords me the highest gratification and encouragement. I am most happy to meet so many of our Western cultivators, whose personal acquaintance I shall be glad to make; and I am especially pleased to recognize many whose names are honored for the contributions they have made to the cause of science, and will be cherished as long as merit shall be appreciated and worthy deeds command the grati tude of mankind. This is as it should be; and, coming, as we do, from distant and different sections of our extended country, embracing almost every variety of soil and clime, we are enabled, in a short time, to accomplish much in comparing the effect of temperature and other climatic influences on the fruits of our different localities, and, by our record of experience, to decide on the kinds suited to our various districts; and thus build up the science of American pomology.
