single berry. Shall try them another year before I give them up. Wishing 
the society one of the best of times, regretting that Ican’t be with you, I 
remain, Yours truly, 
Wm. McHENRY. 
FRUIT STATISTICS. 
President Grimes asked a question about the blank fruit reports 
that had been sent ont during the summer. 
The Secretary. Of those blank fruit reports sent out, about 15 
have been returned. Very few arrived until a very few days 
before the session began. Consequently I have not had time to 
look into them and see what could be tabulated. 
President Grimes. The object of having them sent out was to 
remind our brethren that we were alive, and to invite them to 
this meeting. It was principally done to show them that we 
were trying to do something. 
Mr. Dart. As but few have been received, and these would 
show poorly in our Transactions, I think we had better leave 
them out. When we undertake to show statistics we had better 
make a fair showing, and if we can’t make a fair showing we had 
better leave our statistics out. 
DELEGATE CREDENTIALS, 
The Secretary. 1am informed that Mr. Underwood intends to 
attend the meetings of the Wisconsin Horticultural Society. If 
there are any members that have any fruit they wish to exhibit 
there, he is willing to take it along. And I would suggest this 
general motion: 
Resolved, That the Secretary be directed to issue delegate credentials to 
any member of this Society who may state his intention to attend the 
meetings of kindred societies. 
Mr. Dart. I move that the Secretary be thus instructed. 
The motion was seconded and carried. 
PROPERTY OF SOCIETY. 
The Secretary. I have considerable property of the Society in 
my hands now, and would say that it only awaits the disposal of 
the Society. If you have no desire of removing it to some other 
place, it can remain where it is in perfect safety until called for.
