Hon. G. W. Minier, Chairman of the Committee on Student's

REPORT. 



To the Illinois Horticultural Society: 



Your Committee, to which was referred the Essays on Horti- 

 culture, beg leave to report: 



We find but two Essays. One on "Grafting" and one on 

 " Strawberry Growing for Home Market." While we commend both, 

 merely asking them to cultivate more assiduously the art of style. 

 We give the first premium to the author of the article on " Graft- 

 ing," Leon Hay; the second premium to the author of the essay on 

 " Strawberry Growing for Home Market," H. F. Hill.
