but only use it as a fruit dictionary, and for our recommendations 

 make up another list, and a smaller one according to adaptation to

Mr. Pearce. If descriptions are true they will not mislead. 



Mr. Gould. I think such a catalogue will be valuable. 



Mr. Eldridge, That is my opinion too. 



The Secretary. In order to embody what appears to be the ma- 

 jority view as to this catalogue, I offer the following, and move its 

 adoption as a substitute for section 5 of the committee's report, — 

 That the committee on seedling fruits be requested to prepare and 

 furnish to the secretary, before our next annual meeting, a 

 descriptive catalogue of all the domestic fruits grown in Minne- 

 sota and already known by name, and that there shall be added to 

 such catalogue, from time to time, all such new seedling fruits as 

 may be named by this society and recommended for trial. 



Which motion was adopted. 



The sixth section was concurred in, and the report as amended 

 was then, on motion, agreed to. 



The finance committee reported the treasurer's account correct 

 according to his books and vouchers, and recommended that the 

 balance of $25.33, due the secretary, be paid. 



Report of finance committee, on motion, was adopted. 



The committee appointed to confer with Amber Cane Associa- 

 tion, recommended that the society meet with that association in 

 joint convention to-morrow evening, to listen to addresses of Mr. 

 Geo. Greer and Prof. Weber on the amber cane sugar enterprise 

 at Champaign, Illinois. 



Report adopted.
