Judging Fruits. 
The rules adopted by Ohio Horticultural Society for judging 
fruits were read by the secretary. A moticn was made to adopt 
these rules. 
Mr. Dart moved to amend by adding the point “hardiness of 
tree.” 
The secretary objected that it would be impracticable to observe 
it in making awards. 
Mr. Harris. I would have some such condition apply to seed- 
eee Elliott. There is much difficulty in keeping the fruit for 
the winter meeting, and I think it should be given to some one 
person to keep for the society. 
Mr. Dart. There is no difficulty in getting a statement of the 
condition of the tree and its prolificness, and I move to amend so
