Transactions at the Annual Meeting. 83 



Grape List. — The general list was left unchanged, and is as 

 follows : 



General List. — Concord, Delaware, Worden, Agawam, Wilder, 

 Janesville, Lindley. 



Moore's Early was added to the list for trial, and list adopted, 

 as follows: 



For Trial. — Israella, Massasoit, Brighton, Champion, Moore's 

 Early. 



Strawberries. — The strawberry list was taken up. Mr. 

 Stickney said he would like to have some addition to our list for 

 general cultivation. He thought it was time that we had some- 

 thing beside the Wilson. Among the many varieties in cultiva- 

 tion, there were some that were equal to Wilson in hardiness, and 

 in other respects, and were superior to it in quality, and also 

 sufficiently productive to make them profitable. Judging by 

 results in his own experience, he would like to see Boyden's No. 

 30, Green's Prolific and the Crescent added to the list. All 

 three were as hardy, if not hardier than the Wilson ; the fruit 

 was of good quality, and the yield was very satisfactory. He 

 would move to add them to the list for general cultivation.

 list. It was a great bearer, and the fruit was fine and attractive 

 on account of its form, but the stems were very short, and the 

 berries lay in the dirt, and often rotted before they were ripe. 



No further change was made and the lists as amended stand as 

 follows : 



Tor General Cultivation — Wilson, Boyden's No. 30, Green's Pro-

For Trial — Charles Downing, Kentucky, Prouty 's Seedling, 

 Col. Cheney, Sharpless, Capt. Jack. 



Raspberries. — The raspberry list was next in order and in the 

 preliminary discussion, Mr. Adams called for the experience of
