Transactions at the Annual Meeting. 141 



Mr. Stickney said there were a great many varieties in this 

 family, of which some are valuable, bat a good many are worth- 

 less, and he thought we ought not to recommend any but those 

 that had been thoroughly tried and. proved to be valuable, lie 

 thought that Whitney's Xo. 20, the Transcendent and Ilyslop had

And as thus amended were adopted. 



Grapes. — A motion was made to strike the Janesville from
