The Committee recommend a gratuity of fifty dollars to J. F. Allen, for 

 the introduction and successful cultivation of the Victoria Regia, or Royal 

 Water Lily. The Committee have made repeated visits at Mr, Allen's, in 

 Salem, and witnessed with great satisfaction the growth and development 

 of both leaf and flower of this rare and wonderful plant : they have also seen 

 the flower and leaf at various exhibitions at the Horticultural rooms. Con- 

 sidering the unsparing pains, and great expense incurred, in preparing for 

 the cultivation of the plant, the Committee are unanimous in recommending 

 this amount to Mr. Allen. 



The Messrs. Hovey have exhibited a number of beautiful seedling 

 camellias ; one of them, which had been previously exhibited, was very 

 superior, and worthy of special notice ; it was very much admired for its 

 brilliancy of color and perfection of shape. 



The Messrs. Winship also exhibited a beautiful striped seedling ca- 

 mellia, much admired. 



The Committee hope to see Messrs. Hoveys' plant when in bloom, the 

 coming season, when they propose to give a full description ; and if its 

 high character is sustained, shall recommend it to the Society as worthy 

 the premium ofiered for that object. 



For the Committee, Joseph Breck, Chairman.
