3rd. It acknowledges with pleasure its debt to the able 

 speakers who have addressed the different sessions,, and in 

 particular expresses its pleasure at the presence and aid of the 

 men from across the border, who as speakers and judges have 

 done so much to make the meeting a success. 



4th. With hearty sincerity we express our gratitude to the 

 last legislature, which by a liberal appropriation has made it pos- 

 sible for the association to continue its work on behalf of the 

 horticultural interests of the State with, renewed courage and 

 assured prospects of success. 



5th. We congratulate the entire people of this State, what- 

 ever their occupations, upon the appropriation which will assure 

 in the near future a building upon the campus of the State 

 University, devoted to instruction and investigation in the various 

 lines of agriculture,, worthy of the State and of the man whose 

 name it is to bear.

 -ing more and more in favor, this Society recommends as a stand- 

 ard for Vermont a box 10 in. by 11 in. bv 20 in.

[In making out a premium list, it was thought best, owing 

 to lateness of the season, to restrict it to such varieties as would
