J. J. Thomas, Chairman of the Business Committee, said that he 

 had a small select list of fruits prepared, and asked whether he should 

 ttow present it. 



Doct. Wendell thought it would be better to postpone the presenta- 

 tion of such a list until the Convention had examined the fruits and 

 discussed their merits, &c. 



After some remarks from other members, J. J.Thcraas read his list, 

 and, on motion of Thos. Hancock, it was referred to the Special 

 Fruit Committee. 



Hon. A. Foote, of Massachusetts, remarked, that the list should be 

 extended ; that a great many of the best fruits were left out. Sev- 

 eral gentlemen suggested that lists of varieties adapted to certain lo- 

 calities should be prepared by the Committee.
