ported that among the enumeration of

of preserved fruit were epoken of very
highly.
Judge T. G. Holt, of Macon, was
unmimonsly elected a member of the So
ciety.
The oommiltse on pears and apples re
ported that the display was not as large

ly fine specimens: 127 plates aud SO va-
rietic-i; that tho d.spiay w ml J do foredit

cred vory (littering to tho horticulturist.
Tho report of the Committee on Vegt
tables was presented by Dr. Jones and
rec lived by tbe meeting.
Bnt few specimens were found on tho

the same causes that affect the frnit
crop. Those on exhibition were merito-
ous. Among those enumerated were Mr.
Gnstin’s winter squashes, egg plants,
