34 TRANSACTIONS OF THE ILLINOIS 



Mr. Earle — It is too sour. You caunot get sugar enough to make 

 it good. 



Mr. Wier — I think I can make more money of it than of any 

 apple that grows. 



Eetained. 



Mr. Brown — I move to strike out the Keswick Codlin for market 

 and family use North. We can do all with the Eed Astrachan that 

 we can do with the Keswick Codlin. 



Mr. Bryant, Sr. — The Eed Astrachan ripens earlier, and I have 

 never found the Codlin good either for market or family use. 



Mr. Woodward — In McHenry we could not do without it. We 

 cultivate it as much as any kind. It ranks nearly with the Duchess, 

 About Chicago and the northern part of Cook county it is raised 

 more than any other. 



Mr. Bliss — Some say we have not sugar enough to cook the abun- 

 dance of it. I am very anxious to look at it, because it is good. If 

 you put one-fourth into your dried apples it will give life to all of 

 them. If you have been about half sick by eating these tasteless 

 apples, and you eat one of them, you will stand up straight ; and I 

 could say more things in its favor. 



Eetained. 



Lady Apple. — Mr. Francis moved that the Lady Apple be struck 

 out of the list for market in the Center, and the motion prevailed. 



Large Striped Pearmain. — Mr. Brown — I think this apple is now 

 well enough known to induce me to move that it be entered for market 

 and family use in the South. It is a good sized apple — not very large 

 — very fruitful — bearing very young. 



Carried. 



Large Yellow Bough. — Mr. Bancroft — Ih ave five trees of it ; very 

 fine fruit, but the tree is not a full bearer. They were plenty in 1862. 



Mr. Wier — We have had trees bearing for about twenty years, but 

 we consider them utterly worthless.
