H. Herbert, Mr. William Hill (Eggleton), Mr, W. Jay (Lyde), Mr, Thos. Mason 
(Wellington), Mr. George H. Piper (Norton Canon), Mr. Pitt (Bosbury), Rev. J. 
C. Robinson, Mr. James Rankin (Bryngwyn), Mr. W. A. Swinbourne (Cusop), 
Mr. Charles Watkins, Mr. Arthur Thompson, with power to add to their number. 
Rey. Jones Thomas proposed, and Mr. Swinbourne seconded, that the sub- 
committee consist of the Rev. C. H. Bulmer (chairman), Mr. H. ©. Beddoe, Dr. 
Bull, Mr. Thomas Cam, Dr. Hogg, F.L.S. (London), and Mr. Fowler, Mr, J. 
Griffith Morris with Mr. Reginald Symonds, hon. sec.—Carried unanimously. 
Dr. Bull proposed that Mr. Reginald Symonds be appointed treasurer and 
secretary for this special work. 
Mr. Fowler seconded the proposition, and it was agreed to unanimously. 
At this period of the meeting, Mr. John Bosley, Mr. Mason (Wellington), 
Mr. W. Jay, Mr. Thomas Pitt (Bosbury), Mr. Wm. Hill (Eggleton), and Mr. H. 
C. Beddoe, and Mr. Cale (Tarrington) entered the room, and 
Dr. Bull repeated the object of the meeting to them, and stated that the 
Club had decided to make the attempt to publish a ‘‘ Herefordshire Pomona” if 
the project met with the support of the growers. 
Mr. Bosley said he approved very highly of the step that had been taken by 
the club, and he thought that growers generally would hail the movement with 
approbation. 
Mr. Jay also spoke approvingly of the object of the meeting. 
. Myr. William Hill said he should be happy to support the Club in their 
present efforts, and would endeavour to gain for them the approval of his neigh- 
bours (hear, hear). The movement, he was sure, would become very popular. 
The discussion now became general, Mr. Piper, from Ledbury, had brought 
some very interesting seedling apples raised by himself; and Mr. Bosley had also 
brought the fruit of a seedling which promised well in its fruit. 
Mr. Piper remarked that the Golden Pippin possessed no less than 16 
different names in England. That was a strong argument as to the want of a 
publication like that referred to by Dr. Bull (hear, hear). He was quite convinced, 
from experience, that apples would frequently come'true to seed. He had proved 
it himself several times, and had found the young plants bear fruit with the 
characters of the parents, though not always so strongly marked. Mr. Piper 
exhibited apples from his seedlings in proof of his remarks, which were thereupon 
tasted and discussed. 
This concluded the business of the meeting.
