Excerpt from Address Delivered at the Fifteenth Session of the American Pomological Society: Held in Chicago, Illinois, Sept, 8, 9, 10, 1875
Gentlemen of the Society: -
We assemble here at the invitation of the Illinois State Horticultural Society, to whom and to the Inter-State Industrial Exposition, we tender our grateful obligations for their courtesy and the arrangements made for our accommodation.
Twenty-seven years have taken their flight since the organization of our Association. Many of those who assisted in its formation rest from their labors, but some of them are here to rejoice with us to-day in its progress, prosperity, and usefulness. Our Society still lives in a fresh and vigorous manhood, and we are permitted once more to assemble for the promotion of the objects so dear to its founders and so essential to the welfare, not only of our common country, but of all mankind. Like all other associations and enterprises, it has had to pass through its years of pupilage before it could arrive at its present state of knowledge, but it has now attained to manhood, and is able to act with an energy and enterprise which give promise of long life and still greater usefulness. It has celebrated the first Quarter-centennial of its history, and now awaits a fuller and more glorious development of the benevolent purposes for which it was established.
