Routine Affairs. 



The cninmittee a|i|pninteil to pass on 

 tile i-e|ports of ollicers was as follows: 

 s. .1. (loddard, I'rainingliani, Mass.; C. 

 W. .InhiisiPii, Morgan- Park, Jll.; John 

 II. l>nnl(Pip, Toronto, Ont. 



In the matter of the jiri liminary com 

 |ietition for the Dnrner .Memorial medal 

 .1 1 ecninmemlat ion was made to reduce 

 'he nnmlier of Iploonis reijuired, but the 

 deiMsion was that the number remain 

 lil'tv, iiiste;i(| nl' lieiiiL; reduced to twen- 

 IV live. 



The secietary was iiut hoii/.ed to con- 

 tinue the identification badge. Prof. 

 Dorm-r moved th.at the names in these 

 badges be t vpevvritten rather than by 

 hand, vvhii h was apipidveil. 



A committne of three nn final resolu- 

 'iniis vv;is ap|pniiited: .1. \V. K'odgers, of 

 |);iyton, < >. ; .1. II. Dick, of New York, 

 ;iml I'ripf. li. I'.. I )oi-ner, Of 1,'rbana, 111., 

 the report tn lie heard at tlu; close of 

 the b;nii|Uet. 



The (|uestion ol' the similarity of the 

 old variety, lie.acnii, .-iiid a \ariety dis- 

 tributed to a limited extent in the east 

 last season under t he name of Hed Wing, 

 was brought u|i. Altliougli several as- 

 serted that the two v;irieties are prac- 

 tically identicitl, an eipial number de 

 clared that as far as color and form 

 of bloom are concerned they are similar, 

 but that Hed Wing is a more robust 

 gr(pwer, growing taller, liaving ;i 

 str(pnger ctilax and n<pf splitting so 

 badly. The matter was referred to a 

 committee whicdi will be .appointed by 

 the iiiccpining president, as the soidety 

 stands to discountenance the renaming 

 of old varieties or the introdmdioii of 

 tiKP much alike varieties under different 

 iia im-s. 



.\. .1. (iiittinan asked In have the new 

 v.ariety, Ulive Whitman, rejudged for
