I. Some Objects for which the Horticultural Society intend to present 

 Premiums and Medals. 



Read February 5, 1811. 

 It has been the intention of the Horticultural Society, from its 

 first institution, to present honorary Premiums, or Medals, 

 to such persons as should raise, and produce, before them, 

 any new and valuable variety of Fruit, or esculent Plant, 

 or who should make any important discovery in Horticulture. 

 But as the Society conceived every one of these to be still 

 capable of acquiring a greater degree of perfection, they did 

 not think it necessary to direct the attention of Gardeners to 

 the improvement of any particular plant. Subsequently, how- 

 ever, they have been induced to think, that it might be advan- 

 tageous, to publish an account of such projected improvements 

 as shall he suggested by their Members, or others } and approved 

 by their Council ; and the following are therefore proposed as 

 objects deserving, amongst others, the attention of experimental 

 Horticulturists. 



New varieties of the Potatoe, better calculated for forcing, and 

 for supplying the markets earlier in the summer, than those at 

 present cultivated.
