Transactions at the Annual Meeting. I 



not be hardier than the Flemish Beauty. If in any instance it 

 seems to have proved so, it must be due to some local cause affect- 

 ing the Flemish Beauty unfavorably, as weakness from overbear, 

 ing, late growth produced by cultivation or other causes. 



The motion was lost. 



Mr. Jeffrey moved to add Beurre d' Anjou to the list for trial. 

 Mr. Plumb recommended Doyenne d'Ete for the same list. Both 

 motions were adopted, and the list as amended was adopted, as 

 follows : 



For General Cultivation — Flemish Beauty. 



For Trial — Ananas d' Ete, Early Bergamot, Bartlett, Swan's 

 Orange, Seckel, Winter Nellis, Clapp's Favorite, Beurre d' Anjou, 

 Doyenne d' Ete. 



Plums. — It was remarked that the Miner had in quite a num- 

 ber of instances borne heavy crops the past season, and that our 

 action in crossing it off our list might have been hasty. Among 

 others, President Smith said that the trees of this variety with 

 him had been loaded with plums this year. 



Mr. Stickney said the cases where it had regularly borne good 

 crops were very rare ; his own trees had borne the past season. 

 In striking it out we had judged it by its own record, and he 

 thought we had better let it alone, to work out its own reputa- 

 tion. 



It was voted to recommend the old list without change, viz. : 



For Trial — Lombard, Imperial Gage, Magnum Bonum, Yel- 

 low Egg, Eldredge, Duane's Purple, De Soto. 



Cherries. — The old list of cherries "for trial" was changed so 

 as to read : 



For General Cultivation — Early Richmond, Late Richmond or 

 Kentish, English Morello. 



Evergreens. — No changes were made in the lists of ever- 

 greens. 



For General Cultivation — Norway Spruce, White Pine, Arbor 

 Vita3, Scotch Pine, Balsam, White Spruce. 



For Ornamental Planting — Austrian Pine, Norway Pine,
