28 ANNUAL REPORT. 



INVITATION TO DINNER NEXT YEAR. 



Prof. Porter. As the society is aware we are fitting up the new 

 University farm out on the Como road, a three miles ride from 

 here. A year from now our buildings will be completed and the 

 grounds cleared and put partially in order to receive company, and 

 as the College of Agriculture, to say nothing of the University 

 itself, has a warm side for the State Horticultural Society, I desire 

 to invite you all to come out and dine with me on the occasion of 

 your assembling for your summer meeting in the year 1884. 



On motion the invitation of Prof. Porter was accepted, with the 

 understanding that the usual ceremony of confiscating the straw- 

 berries on exhibition to the common use of members and guests 

 may be done at the farm. 



Recess till 2 p. m.
