Summer Meeting. ' 79' 



'& 



zuhat to plant. Your committee has deviated slightly from their instruc- 

 tions and awarded two premiums for the best two boxes of strawberries 

 on exhibition. 



Best was for Bubach, Fred Howe, $2.00; second best, Nick Ohmer. 

 $1.00. 



To D. A. Robnett, for a collection of six varieties, viz. : Jesse 

 Bubach, Haverland, Beederwood, Gandy and Clyde, $5.00. 



To Jacob Stocke, St. Louis, collection five varieties, viz. : Gandy, 

 Marshall, Brandy Wine, Clyde and Bubach, $3.00. 



This collection had been carefully selected but had been picked 

 so long that they did not show quite up to requirements. We beg 

 to mention an exhibition by same of three magnificent heads of Cauli- 

 flower, 



To James Lugan of Canton for three varieties, vix. : Bubach,. 

 Clyde and Haverland, $2.00. 



To A. T. Nelson, Lebanon, four boxes Bubach, $1.00. 



H. W. Jenkins, Boonville, for Greenville, $1.00. 



A new strawberry by Geo. T. Tippin of Alonett, grown by Wil- 

 liam Bowers, was very large, but had been picked so long we could 

 not determine its character, being quite sour and badly shaped. We 

 regret this very much as the size was up to the first. There was on 

 the table three varieties of apples by Mr. Von Buskirk of Oregon, viz. : 

 Jonathan, Winesap and Ben Davis, for which we aw^ard $1.00. 



We would mention appliances on exhibition : A dust sprayer by 

 ]\Ir. J. J. Kiser, Stanberry, Mo. An evaporater by Thomas and Davis 

 of Jefiferson, Oregon.

REPORT OF COM^HTTEE ON OBITUARY. 



To Officers and Members of Missouri State Horticultural Society: 



Full two years have passed since we were called upon to devote 



a page of our minutes to the memory of a brother called from his 



labors of love and mercy. In this we have great cause for joy and 



thankfulness. 



But today we are asked to think lovingly and speak kindly as we 



mourn the loss of a most estimable man and brother, who has gone to 



enjoy the fruits of a well spent life beneath the shade of the trees 



of eternal bliss.
