Excerpt from Transactions of the Maine State Pomological Society: For the Year 1895, Including the Proceedings of the Winter Meeting, Held in Presque Isle, January 8th and 9th, 1896

The prices have been low, although choice lots have sold readily.

Of other fruits there was a small crop, although where not affected by the drouth there was a good cr0p of raspberries and blackberries. Pears being in full bloom at the time of the freeze suffered from the cold. This is especially true of several popular varieties. In some parts of the State the freeze destroyed the currant and gooseberry crop.

In this connection it is well to emphasize the importance of better culture and a more careful study of all the conditions that bear in any way upon this important industry. This would'be preferable to the planting of more trees.
