LEAF CLASSIFICATION. 



In Division W wore entered a number of sheets of mounted leaves, by three 

 students at the Agricultural College, illustrating leaf classification. The ar- 

 rangement was beautiful and instructive. A special committee, consisting of 

 E. F. Guild, Saginaw; Miss Fannie Noble and Miss Hattie Owen of Detroit, 

 were selected to report suitable awards, an I reported as follows: "We have 

 taken especial pleasure in viewing the work of Messrs. W. H. Bristol, J. E. 

 Eddie and C. M. WeeJ, of Lansing, and recommend a premium of five dollars 

 to each of them in consideration of the labor and pains taken in perfecting the 

 display. We think it should be the policy of the society to encourage such 

 exhibitions for decorative and educational purposes." 



DISCRETIONARY PREMIUMS. 



A number of discretionary premiums recommended by the committees have 

 been awarded by the Executive Board, and others have not at the date of com- 

 piling this, been acted upon.
