The whole amount offered in the above schedule is 65Z. 10s. 

 Of the grant made for the use of the Fruit Committee last year 

 there was still a balance in hand at the end of the year of 

 43L OS, Id. As this sum will go far to meet the current expen- 

 diture of this year, the Council will not require to make any 

 grant on that account, and therefore the only sum necessary to be 

 voted for the use of the Committee this year will be that of 

 65Z. lOs., which it is proposed to offer in prizes so as to make 

 the monthly meetings of the Committee as attractive as possible, 

 and to keep up that interest in the public mind that is now 

 awakened in favour of the operations of the Committee. 



In addition to the prizes proposed in this schedule the Com- 

 mittee have still a prize of 5^ placed at their disposal by Sir C. 

 Wentworth Dilke, which they have determined to award at the 

 meeting in February, 1863, to the best seedling fruit of any kind, 

 and of the gi-eatest value that shall have been exhibited at any 

 meeting of the Committee in 1802, 



A prize of 2Z. 2s. has also been placed at the disposal of the 

 Committee by Mr. Henry G. Bohn, for the best Melon, to be 

 exhibited at the meeting of the Committee on the 23rd of 

 September next. 



Robert Hogg, 

 Secretary to the Committee.
