MIR. S. V. Parsons, Flushing, L. l., suggested, as a
matter for future consi leration, ele proprety of
changing not only the name but the objects OF the
society," that it should hereafter include not only
pomology but general hortl culture. AS the greater
always included the less, they certainly could lose
nothing by enlarging their Ield and covering more
extensive ground. 1t was very desirable that those
living in section should thus be able to learn how
plants and trees thryed in other sections. At the
West the question of hedges was an important one,
as fruits could be advantageously grown without
them; and the same principle applied to all orna-
mental culture
On motion of Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, the subject
was referred to the Executive Committee, with iu-
structioEs to report thereupon.
Mr.. Elliott, on behalf OF the Committee on Order
of Business, reported the following regulations
