Excerpt from Seventh Annual Report of the Secretary of the State Pomological Society of Michigan, 1877 Dear sir, - Your letter informing me of my appointment as Vice President is at hand. I accept the position and will endeavor to perform the duties to the best of my ability. I shall not be able to attend the meeting in Pontiac, and send this in my place. We have thus far had an unusual winter; steady. Cold weather and deep snows all through the month of December, and, with one or two days excepted, the same for January. For the past six weeks the snow has averaged more than two feet in depth, although it has been constantly settling, the waste being made good with almost daily additions. The mercury has ranged from 10° above to 6° below zero, with no extremes. What the effect may be on our fruit trees can better be told after a few days warmer weather.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Third Annual Report of the Secretary of the State Pomological Society of Michigan, 1873 In short, the world seems about to recognize that all true prosperity of the State must rest upon the foundation of free and intelligent labor. In our republican system, where labor controls the sovereignty, we should have every facility for the growth of these elements of national greatness. Fully to comprehend our needs, in this respect, we must first understand, that what distinguishes our civilization from primitive barbarism - the con crete body, so to speak, of our civilization - subsists not in the earth, - not in the air, - not in dead matter, - but in the mind, - in that mysterious receptacle of thought, where are garnered the rich treasures of experience; Where the facts and deductions of science are made practical; and where reside the Genii that direct the operations of the material world to so many useful purposes.

Excerpt from Fourth Annual Report of the Secretary of the State Pomological Society of Michigan: 1874 Gentlemen: - There are hidden springs impelling the action of societies as well as of individuals. The inspiration which dictated to the lamented A. J. Downing the first lines of his preface to "Fruits and Fruit Trees of America," is one of the elements which sustains the life of this Pomological Society. He thought he could "be pardoned for talking about fruit trees," because his hours spent in orchards and gardens took an additional charm from the presence of the noble Hudson, though it is begirt with barren mountains, giving to the voyager upon it the impression of "patches" to the little tillable spots which are the sites of its beautiful towns and scattering farms. Here and there a little fruit amid barren mountain wastes had its effect upon him. The love of it, more than a money consideration, led him to initiate the great work which his brother has so well completed. Is it strange, then, that Michigan, with near or quite a thousand miles of water front on its lower peninsula, with nearly continuous arable lands, forming almost a continent suitable for fruit production, - is it strange, I say, that this great State should contain a body of men who will undertake the work this Society is doing without a money compensation, - for the love of it? All great unpaid labors have their compensation. Ours is in the practical knowledge which we borrow from each other, and the satisfaction of seeing the interests of Pomology advance as do all the great industries of the day. I propose now to hold a check on the natural tendencies of the occasion to talk of the beautiful and the lovely in our theme, and to confine myself to the business side of the subject. It is well to look over the Held and see where our work lies; to see the needs of the present, and to appreciate our difficulties and our helps. If nearly every acre of this great peninsula is suited to the production of some one or more of the valuable fruits of the temperate zone, we have a grand field to contemplate in taking our survey.
