therefore feel justified il awarding Premium to Mrs.

Ne,0land's Mammoth Alpine was exhibited by O. p.
adwen of this city. The Committee are satisfied tba,
tins strawberry is in respect superior to the common
Red Alpine variety, of which is mere reproduction
from the seed; for it is well known fact that not ONLY
the pnes, but also the Wood Strawberries like some
varieties o. other NUTS are reproduced, with little or
no variation, from the seed
The "Best Gooseb'nies' were exhibited by S. II.
Cotton, and the "Best Cmrants' (Dutch Vhte) by o.

sufficiently ripe to justify the Committee in awarding
