Excerpt from Transactions of the Maine State Pomological Society: For the Year 1891 The present volume will give to the general public some idea of the work Of this Society, though its true measure of usefulness can hardly be measured by the printed page or the spoken word. In the affairs of the Society the officers have aimed at the great needs of the State, and while the means would not permit of doing all these needs called for, the work has been efficient and in many cases the results apparent.
