The Committee on Revision of Premium List made the following 

 report: 



31?'. President: We, your Committee on Revision of Premium List, 

 beg to report as follows : In making changes we have endeavored to 

 extend the fruit list so as to obtain the best possible results without in- 

 creasing the amount of the premium list. The total changes, if 

 adopted by the Society, will only add two dollars to the premium list 

 as awarded last year. We have consulted with our florist friends and 

 adopted the changes recommended by the florists as presented by Mr. 

 Erfling. 



We recommend the adoption of the following special rules: 

 6. It shall be the duty of the superintendent to appoint two assist- 

 ants, and they acting in the capacity of a committee shall remove all 

 fruit not in a fit condition for exhibition at any time during the prog- 

 ress of the exhibition.
