eighteen premiums were awarded. It was a decided success, and by it 

 the membership of the Society was increased fully one himdred. 



A meeting of the Society was held at Dr. llumphrey's fruit farm, 

 January 25th, 1S70.

 the large number of varieties, there was, perhaps, more testing than 

 discussion.
