Mr. Olds could indorse all Mr. Tuttle said in favor of the 

 Pewaukee. 



Mr. Herschinger stated that he had tested its hardiness very 

 thoroughly, in fact, had subjected it to treatment that would have 

 killed most, if not all, of our hardy varieties. He top grafted it 

 into the Duchess, and by cutting off all the limbs had forced an 

 excessive growth of wood, but the grafts stood well and are doing 

 well yet. 



Mr. Plumb said there was no question as to its quality and pro- 

 ductiveness, but it was not equally hardy in all locations and 

 soils. 



Mr. Stickney moved that it be added to the list in place of the 

 Tetofsky ; which was carried. 



Mr. Philips, to judge by profitableness in his own orchard, said 

 he should put Ben Davis ahead of both Haas and Plumb's Cider. 



Mr. Kellogg moved to substitute Walbridge for Haas. 



This was opposed by Mr. Stickney on account of its size. The 

 trees bore well, but the apples were too small to market to good 

 advantage. He had twenty-six trees of this variety which he 

 should re-graft on this account. 



Mr. Plumb thought highly of the Walbridge on account of its 

 productiveness and its keeping qualities ; it might not be equal in 

 quality to some others, but it would last until May and be good 

 when the others were all gone. 



The list for general cultivation was taken up, and Mr. Kellogg 

 moved to strike out all the varieties in the first list and' to change 

 the title to "Additional varieties for general cultivation in favora- 

 ble locations." 



This motion was carried, and the lists as revised were approved 

 and authorized published as follows : 



Six Varieties beat adapted to Wisconsin, Hardiness, Productiveness 

 and Quality taken into consideration. — Duches3 of Oldenburg, 

 Wealthy, Pewaukee, Haas, Fameuse and Plumb's Cider. 



Additional list for cultivation in favorable locations. — Tetofsky, 

 Eed Astrachan, St. Lawrence, Fall Orange, Price's Sweet, Alex- 

 ander, Utter, Westfield Seek no Further, Willow Twig, Grolden 

 Pusset and Walbridge.
