JANUARY MEETING. 



The meeting for January was held on the 30th inst., at the residence 

 of S. Avery, Esq., in Champaign. 



* Reports of but few meetings have been forwarded for publication. Doubtless, 

 very many of the discussions of this Society, composed as it is of intelligent fruit 

 growers, would be of interest to all readers living in the same latitude and on similar 

 soils. 



An excellent essay on "Bee-keeping," by J. G. Thompson, is omitted, inasmuch 

 as it treats of the management of bees, and not upon honey-producing plants and their 

 cultivation. Another article on " Horticultural Ilumbugs" shows up the tricks of tree 

 peddlers, which have been often exposed in preceding volumes of reports of this 

 Society. — Editor.
