"There was a fair attendance of members who took a lively iutereat iu the business before the 

 meeting. 



"Mr. BoLi. exhibited a stand of six Camellias, but owing to the want of proper accommodation, 

 tliey wore not seen to advantage. The Society's exertions have been much retarded by a deficient 

 accommodation in this respect^ as the room occupied at present is not adapted for tiie display of 

 flowers or fruit.s, aud a great desire is manifested to promote this feature in the weekly meetings. 

 Mr. Boll's Camellias were choice flowers and favorite varieties. One of them, called by him 

 Lnbricata striata, is a variety apparently allied to the old Imbricata and a well marked flower. 

 The others were Henri Favre, Imbricata, Sacco Nova, Double White Caroline Smith, Sulcata, Fim- 

 briata, and Cruciata. A seedling raised by Mr. Boll, No. 411, was pronounced worthy of notice, 

 and a first premium was awarded for the six blooms. 



"The first premium for fruit was awarded to Thomas Dunn, Maeedon, for the best twelve 

 Winter Apples, NcwtotBti Pippins."
