any cider, but I fouud the pies were the best I ever tasted. I do not 

 think it is worth anything for an eating apple. 



Mr. Carpenter — The English Golden Eusset has always done well 

 with ns. This year they are very fine and of uniform size. 



Mr. Galusha — In an orchard, the best cultivated of any I know, the 

 English Golden Eusset this year was twice the size I ever saw it 

 before. At first I thought they were not the Eusset, but I found they 

 were. They had been manured and the land dug up for several feet 

 around them. This shows that this variety will bear higher culti- 

 vation without injuriously affecting the fruit. 



Eetained. 



Gilpin. — Mr. Earle moved to strike out for market use in the South, 

 but the motion was not seconded. 



High-top Sweeting. — The President— I desire to ask if this is not 

 meant to bo the same as the Sweet June. They are generally con- 

 sidered synonyms, but they are not so. 



Mr. Bryant, Sr. — I think Downing makes the two names synonymous. 



Mr. AVier — I have both of them. They are very different trees; 

 one ripens sooner than the other. Are either of them of any value ? 



Mr. Nelson — Does not Warder describe them as being identical ? 



The President — I do not think he does. 



Horse Apple. — Mr. M. L. Dunlap — There is another apple called 

 Horse Apple, whereas the Horse Apple properly so called is yellow. 



Kentucky. — The President — I think Kentucky should be recom- 

 mended for general cultivation. It has become very well known in 

 our portion of the State. I think it is fully equal in value to the 

 Maiden's Blush as an apple, and is a hardier tree. It is remarkably 

 like the Ben Davis. It is rather a rich apple, about as acid as the 

 Maiden's Blush — a little more acid than persons like to eat; it is a 

 superior cooking apple, a great bearer, and ripens early. 



Keswick Codlin. — Mr. Duiley — I move that it be stricken from 

 the list ; it is not good for anything. 



Mr. Wier — I would like to know something about its not being good 

 for anything.
