the Roineyn. Large quantities are likely to be sent out tins year, 

 and if there is no diifereuce people ought to know it. For his part 

 lie could distinguish none. When the Union and the Queen were 

 brought out he showed that they were both Trollop's Victc>ria. 



Mr.AV, S. Carpenter. — I have the E,omeyn, and I find it the same as 

 the Trioniphe, that is, I can scarcely distinguish, 



Mr. P. T. Quinn. — Our club has been noted for fair dealing. We 

 have inade a report on the Roniejni, and now its value is questioned 

 at this late day. This attack ought not to be made in the absence of 

 the pro})rietor, Avho would l)e able to show the difference. This 

 should have been presented before. If I mistake not my friend, Mr, 

 Fuller, sent out large quantities of the Boston Pine under the name 

 of the Bartlett. 



Mr, A. S. Fuller. — It is for this reason I have learned to be on the 

 lookout. I found that strawberry growing in Mr. Bartlett's garden, 

 and for tliree yeai*s I presented it to tliis club and the best horticul- 

 turists in the country, including Charles Downing and several members 

 of the club now present, that they might identify it with a known

 only about 5,000. Afterward I sent for the Boston Pine, and knew 

 at once what I had.

 Koraeyn, As one of the committee, I visited the place where it is 

 grown, and found it doing extremely well on thin gravelly soil, while, 

 as I understand, the Triomphe requires a rich, heavy, clay soil. I also 

 saw it on other groutids, and by the side of the Triomphe, which last 

 I was told was worthless. 



The Chair. — It seems to me that if Mr. Fuller knew of the identity 

 of the Pomeyn with the Triomphe he ought to have spoken before. 

 I would request that this sul)ject be postponed for two weeks, that 

 they who have gr<jwn both kinds nuiy give us their statements. 



Mr. N. C, Meeker, — It should seem that to raise a suspicion by 

 asking a question in this manner, without any positive fticts, is hardly 

 the proper way. 



Oxen axd Yokes. 



Mr. A. Dwinncll, Walpole, N. II. — I see that the members and 

 correspondents of the club differ materially in regard to the use of 

 yoke and bows. In this vicinity the yoke is, and always has been 

 used, and I see no good reason why it should now be superseded. I
