Rev. R. Burnet, Hamilton, -

President. 

 Secretary. 



The Annual Report, illustrated with accurately executed en- 

 gravings, and with one or more finely coloured fruit-plates, con- 

 tains a large amount of very valuable information, and is sent, 

 post-paid, to every member. 



A number of fruit trees are distributed every year to each 

 member for trial. The entire expense of this distribution is 

 borne by the Association, the members being required only to 

 make report to the Association, through the Secretary, of the 

 results of such trial. The Swayzie Pomme Grise Apple tree will 

 be distributed in the Spring of 1875; the Downing Gooseberry 

 in that of 1874; and the Tetofsky Apple in the Spring of 1876. 

 Other selections will be made for distribution from time to time, 

 as the Directors ascertain what varieties it is desirable to test. 



Prizes are given for Essays, Canadian Seedling Fruits, &c., of 

 which a full announcement will be found in the Annual Report. 



Any person can become a member by sending the annual fee 

 of one dollar to the Secretary. Any member who will take the 

 trouble to send the names and fees of five new members, will re- 

 ceive a double number of trees at the next distribution.
