AT the last meeting of the society Daniel S.
Burgess of Worcester was admitted a menl-
Der.
The committee to award premiums on
Strawberries, having attended to that duty,
REPORT
That owing to the extreme drouth now prevail
ing, the strawberry crop for the resent season is
partial failure, and the eNhi0iu0A has therefore
been much less in the quantity exhibited, and in the
size and perfection OF the fruit than might have been
expected under more favorable circumstances.
We have the satisfaction, however, OF saying that
it was much better than any we have had before.
and holds out Il favorable none for the tuture For
some OF the prizes there no competition, and
Tor others there were no specimens deemed worthy
OF premiums. The amount OF those, will therefore
remain ON hand to be gwen future exhibitions

Inc committee were unanimous in the opinion
that OF all the varieties exhibited III quantities su.
cieut TO entitle them to premium, the uoycy's
Seeding was incontestibly the best in point of fla
Yor, ana they awarded the premium accordingly.

tercst to the future exhibitions OF this kind Tie
Hermine was another fine favored new variety in
the same collection but not equal to the Downer.
Mt Gushing exhibited twelve varieties at the first
exhibition and three at the last, most of them new
varieties, but little known as yet in this region AS
tney did not come within the rules, premium
gwen them; but in consideration of the interest
manifested by Dir. Cushing in exhibitions and
OF tle contributions thereto by him. and here
toforc, the committee would most respectfully
recommend to HE Trustees that they present him a
ce!uncate OF membership of the Society. They do
inns me more readily, as they understand that Sir.

fee. but in consequence of Il mistake it was applied
to another public purpose, of perhaps equal value
though not to him of the same interest, nor yield
ing 10 him the same personal advantages.
In addition to the two varieties Tor which pre-
NUNS were given to Hon Paul Within, he exhibit

llsh variety IT IS perhaps, the highest favored va
i1ety known but is of spicy, rather than a straw
berry lavor aud one that. in our apprehension,
would not meet with SO general favor many
other kinds.
The rriomphe de Gand, judging from the speci-
mems exhibited by Mr. Richardson and Others is
berry of good rather large size. of good medium
flavor, and generally of a rather bad or coxscomb
shape Its value for general culture remains yet to
be proved.
All Which is respectfully submitted by
HE COMMITTEE.
