Pomological Meeting! [Drop title].

[Zanesville?]: Ohio Pomological Society, 1859. 8-1/4 x 11-1/4. Broadside. Thin white stock printed in black. Old folds; three small areas of loss, slightly affecting text; faint staining. Professionally repaired and laid down a larger sheet of rice paper for support. Good. A scarce broadside for a meeting of the Ohio Pomological Society, held in September 1859. The broadside urges fruit growers and nurserymen to meet with the committee of the society at the court house in Zanesville, and "[p]ersons having specimens of New and Rare Fruits are requested to present them for examination." An uncommon and dramatically typeset survivor, that points to the efforts of the society to discover and grow new and diverse fruits. The records of the Ohio Pomological Society are held by the Dayton Metro Library.
