Georgia Horticultural Society Holds Large State Meeting
The first day of the session at Americus city hall drew about a hundred leading horticulturists from Georgia and neighboring states. President Berckmans led the meeting with welcome addresses, essays by prominent growers, and a wall of fruit displays featuring hundreds of varieties from the Georgia Experiment Station and local nurseries. Morning and afternoon sessions covered nematode disease, seed growing for profit, root pruning, and peach culture drawbacks, with a grand fruit exhibit attracting many visitors. Evening sessions included general discussions and the program planned continuation with officer elections and meeting sites for 1899.
