276 MINNESOTA STATE HORTICULTUEAL SOCIETY. 



agogist by profession. Each responded to the call of the society 

 in an expression of thanks, Mr. Lyons supplementing his response 

 by relating a most successful experience in fall planting of a lot 

 of Clyde strawberries. Mr. Pendergast said he had never felt more 

 at home anywhere than since he had been an active member of the 

 society, and he thanked the society and the members of the ex- 

 ecutive board who had thus taken advantage of his absence from 

 their meeting the previous evening. Mr. Philips responded more 

 at length, telling a number of stories in his usual happy vein. 



The exhibit this year was an unusual one, both in the number 

 of entries and also in the quality of the articles shown. One hun- 

 dred and ninety-five entries in all were made, which is about a 

 half more than the usual number, and considerably more than 

 ever have been made before at any of our summer meetings. Fif- 

 ty-nine varieties of strawberries were shown, and they were notice- 

 able for their uniform large size and fine condition. There were 

 forty-height varieties of roses on exhibition, most of them, as has 

 been noted, from the grounds of the Jewell Nursery Company. 

 A few entries in other flowers and in vegetables, and a number of 

 entries of mushrooms made up the total of the best exhibition 

 ever made at a summer meeting of this society. The list of pre- 

 miums awarded, which follows, will serve as a key in opening 

 up the details of this exhibit.
