Excerpt from Sixth Annual Report of the Secretary of the State Pomological Society of Michigan: 1876 Sir, - Section six of an act to provide for the incorporation of societies for the promotion of pomology, horticulture, and the kindred sciences and arts, in the State of Michigan, approved April 15, 1871, provides that "it shall be the duty of the Secretary of said State society to make and transmit to the Secretary of State a report of the transactions of said society, including copies of papers read at its meetings, reports of exhibitions held, and of facts collected by correspondence or otherwise, at the end of the month of December of each year, said report to be printed in similar form and number of copies as the reports and transactions of the State Board of Agriculture and State Agricultural Society, under the direction of the Secretary of State." In compliance with the above legal requisition, I respectfully submit for publication the accompanying Report for 1876, with supplementary papers. The report for 1875 included some papers read and exhibitions held in the year 1876, and, consequently, this report is necessarily brief, and brings the work of the Society down to January 1, 1877.At this point Mr.0. W.Garfield, of the Agricultural College, Lansing, succeeds me; and to him I am indebted for much valuable assistance in the preparation of this report, and for his efforts in behalf of Michigan Horticulture and Pomology, I bespeak for him a kind greeting from their many earnest and intelligent friends throughout the State.
