DIVISION X — rLUMS — SINGLE PLATES. 



The committee recommended that great care be taken to preserve stems, be- 

 cause they are an important aid in determining nomenclature. Of the 107 

 plates found quite a proportion were incorrectly named, and in some cases the 

 same variety was exhibited under several names, probably a result of the pur- 

 chase of trees incorrectly named by the growers.

DIVISION 0. — DRIED FRUITS. 



Some dissatisfaction was exhibited by some parties who entered in this di- 

 vision, because outside the collections of domestic and factory fruit came in com- 

 petition. It peril aps would be wise for the Pomological Society to consider 

 this matter in arranging future premium lists. There were 8? entries com- 

 peting in this division, nicely siiown and prepared.
