Virginia Horticultural Society Holds 1931 Apple Convention
More than 500 fruit growers from Virginia and neighboring states attended the Virginia Horticultural Society convention in Winchester. Delegates honored late treasurer T. W. Woollen of Crozet and praised the society’s advertising work for Virginia apples. Speakers discussed markets, economic conditions, and future marketing, with a regional push to unify advertising across Shenandoah Cumberland Potomac apple districts. A display of agricultural inputs accompanied business sessions at the Winchester Garage.
