Abstract

Abstract On September 9-10, 1903, a small group of horticulturists and botanists attended a meeting in Boston, Massachusetts. The meeting, chaired by L. H. Bailey, was a result of a letter from S. A. Beach to all experiment station horticulturists and botanists in which he proposed the organization of a society for horticultural science. The purpose of the society would be to present scientific work being done in horticulture more prominently and to promote more complete scientific investigations. Among the charter members of the newly formed American Society for Horticultural Science were six men destined to achieve fame for investigations in small fruits: L. H. Bailey, S. A. Beach, C. P. Close, S. W. Fletcher, N. E. Hansen, and U. P. Hedrick.
