Grapes. — Mr. Kellogg moved to strike the Eumelan from the 

 list. His experience with it had not been satisfactory, and as far 

 as he knew it was the same everywhere. He called on Mr. Tuttle 

 for his experience with it. 



Mr. Tuttle had not given much attention to grape culture. Con- 

 cord did much the best with him; in fact, was the only grape that 

 there was any profit in. He cannot raise the Delaware with success; 

 had paid .$100 for Adirondac vines, and never realized five cents 

 from them. But his Concords stood with little care and bore well; 

 the last season they were loaded with fruit; had more than they could 

 mature. 



Mr. Kellogg knew that the Delaware was not adapted to all soils, 

 but we cannot spare it from the list. 



Mr. Plumb would like to see the list rearranged. 



Mr. Greenman thought that, as with apples, we should specify for 

 what they were recommended, as the Concord for general cultiva- 

 tion, the Janesville for market purposes, and the Delaware for 

 quality. He could make more from the Janesville than from any 

 other ; it ripened earlier, and he could bring it into market before 

 the others were ripe, and so find reidy sale at good prices. Its 

 quality was not as good as some others. 



Mr. Kellogg said that it was easy to account for its ready sale in 

 Milwaukee; where they drink so much lager beer, and did not 

 know what was good, they would eat the Janesville. 



The subject of specifying conditions to accompany the recom- 

 mendation of the grape list, was referred to the committee on the 

 same subject for the apple list. 



Mr. Plumb moved to add to the list for trial, the Lady Brighton 

 and Champion, which was carried. 



Mr. Kellogg was in favor of dropping Rogers' No. 3, Massasoit. 



President Smith said it was doing well in some places, and 

 thought it had better be retained. 



Mr. Tuttle said No. 3 does well in cool localities; in such a situ- 

 ation, he thinks it is one of the best of the Rogers collection. 



Raspberries. — Mr Plumb called for information in relation to 

 Fastollf and Brinkle's Orange. 



Mr. Stickney said they were of good quality and quite product- 

 ive; he would recommend them with winter protection; they were
