•collection of grapes that he had ever seen in New England, 

 except at the exhibition of the Pomological Society in Bostoi\. 

 "We have about three hundred packages of these seeds, which 

 are labeled with the names of the persons who raised the 

 grapes, and if any of you will come forward and accept a 

 package or two of these grape-seeds, and promise to take 

 care of them, put them in the earth immediately, and let 

 them be subjected to the action of the frosts this winter, and 

 in case you get a new and choice variety, report it, we would 

 be very glad to have you accept them. 



We have on our tables a few dishes of fruit from different 

 parts of the State. Some of it would be very much better 

 next month than now — you will have to take your chance ; 

 but if you will be pleased to accept it, such as it is, we ^hall 

 be most happy to share it with you. 



Mr. Day. In view of the many courtesies that we have 

 received, I am not willing that this love-feast should end until 

 I offer a resolution. I move a vote of thanks to the Hon. 

 Marshall Jewell for his courtesy in extending the free use 

 of the telephone to the members of this convention. 



Carried. 



Mr. Augur. One resolution more. I move a vote of 

 thanks to those who have made contributions to our tables of 

 fruit, grain, vegetables, etc. 



Carried. 



The President. Gentlemen and ladies, I wish to return 

 you my most hearty thanks for your support of the Connecti- 

 cut Board of Agriculture during these meetings. 



Adjourned, sine die.
