312 State IlorticiiliiiraJ Society. 



Mr. Baxter : T have tried it and used it for a number of years and 

 it paid. 



A Question : 1 should like to ask the gentleman what his formula 

 was for that spray- 

 Mr. Baxter : Two pounds of sulphate of copper, and four pounds 

 of stone lime and fifty gallons of water. You have got to be very 

 careful not to scorch the leaves. 



A Question : Has the peach yellow over been known to exist in 

 the State of Missouri? 



Prof. Hoag: I believe it has ; I have heard of it, but I have never 

 seen it. 



Mr. Dix : I can say I have had it for ten years. I control it by 

 cutting it out. 



Mai'or Holsinger: I sometimes think we confuse the two dis- 

 eases, the Yellows with the rust. I have seen some diseases that have 

 been pronounced, Yellows which I am satisfied was not the Yellows. 



Prof. Howard : I wish to know if any one is familiar with the 

 Dwarf Japan Peach? 



Sec. Goodman: What use is it in Missouri? 



Prof. Howard : We have one tree, and if it keeps up every year 

 as it has this year, I think it is going to be very valuable. 



Mr. Augustine : Can the Yellows be disseminated by the planting 

 of pits from infected trees? 



Major Holsinger : It is an impossibility, I say. 



President Murray : Some one asked for five varieties of peaches. 



Sec. Goodman: First, Mountain Rose; second, Crawford; third, 

 Champion ; fourth, Elberta ; fifth, Salway. 



Pres. Murray : Give us five peaches for North Missouri. 



Sec. Goodman : I would take, first, Champion ; second, Elberta^ 

 and third, Crosby; fourth, Mountain Rose, and fifth, Salway. 



A Question : On what ground does Prof. Evans say there is no 

 such peach as the Elberta Cling? 



Mr. Evans : I have never seen an Elberta Cling, and I never 

 have heard of one until I came here. 



Mr. Wilson of Buchanan Countv : I would say that Stark's has 

 advertised the Elberta Cling; it is on their list this year. 



Mr. Tippin : I think that is pretty good evidence there is no such 

 peach. 



A Question : I would like to have a peach earlier than the El- 

 berta, and one later. 



Pres. Murray: Mr. Goodman gave the Mountain Rose, that is 

 earlier, and the Salway that is later.
