Saturday, Jan. 31st, 1857, 



President in the Chair. 



Reports of the Committee heretofore appointed, on the demise 

 of Mons. MiCHAUX, and on the formation of the Premium List, be- 

 ing called for under the order for unfinished business, the Commit- 

 tees announced that they were not yet prepared to report, and on 

 motion, further time was granted, and the Committees continued. 



The Corresponding Sec'y read his correspondence with Hon. T. 

 C. Day, which was approved and ordered to be filed. 



The President also presented and read an interesting correspond- 

 ence with the Pomologieal Congress of France, on the subject of 

 Pomoloyical Nomenclature^ which was approved and ordered to be 

 filed 



On motion, ordered that a call be made for the meeting of the 

 Chairman of the standing Committees, at the Society's Hall, directly 

 on the adjournment of the nest stated meeting. 



An inquiry was made touching the ingraftment of our finer va- 

 rieties of apples on the indigenous crab stock, which led to an in- 

 teresting discussion, but no general expression of sentiment was 

 made by the Society's action ; and as the inquiry had elicited con- 

 siderable remark in reference to points in vegetable physiology, on 

 motion of Mr. Foote, it was resolved that a paper on ' The Bud ' 

 be made the subject of a special order at the next meeting, and that 

 the paper be prepared by J. W. Ward, Esq., and Mr. Ward being 

 present, accepted the order. Mr, Buchanan presented to the Libra- 

 ry several books and publications touching the cultivation of the 

 Sugar Millett. 



On motion of Mr. Robb, a Committee was appointed to investi- 

 gate and prepare a paper on the subject of ' live fences.' The Chair 

 appointed Messrs. Robb, Cary and Buchanan, such Committee. 



Mr. HowARTH moved that in our correspondence with the French 

 Pomologieal Congress, the President be instructed to state that we 

 have a deep interest in the subject of different climatic temperatures, 

 in different countries, and request a corresponding attention to that 

 question on the part of the French Society. But, it being stated that 

 the present correspondence did not contemplate this topic, the mo- 

 lion was lost.
