134 "Wisconsin State Horticultural Society, 



"VVm. Springer, Fremont, Wis., shows several varieties of the 

 Waupaca county seedling apples of great beauty. Among them we 

 find the Weyauwega, Wrightman and Flora, all very promising. 



G. J. Kellogg, Janesville, shows six varieties of apples, Willow,. 

 Stark, Tallman, Grimes, Golden Russet and Barrett Russet. 



E. W. Daniels, of Waushara county, shows samples of an apple 

 much resembling the R. I. Greening, and which the committee 

 think must be that variety. 



C. H. Greenman exhibits a model grape trellis of a new pattern,, 

 and sample vines to illustrate its use and his system of pruning. 



We find also well preserved samples of Adirondac, Agawam, 



Eumelan, Wilder, Lindley, but do not find the exhibitor's name in 



connection with them. 



Respectfully submitted, 



Committee. 

 Report was accepted and adopted. 



The commit! ee appointed to specify the condition on which the 

 recommendation of the list of apples for general cultivation was 

 based, were granted further time to complete the specifications. 



On motion, an appropriation was, made to defray the expenses 

 of Mr. P. M. Gideon, of Minnesota, while in attendance on the 

 convention. 



The following resolution was introduced: 



" Resolved, That Mr. J. C. Plumb be requested to present a re- 

 port at our next annual meeting, districting the state according to 

 conditions of soil and climate, and giving lists of fruit best adapted 

 to each." 



Which was passed. 



The arrangements for the summer meeting were discussed, and 

 the opinion was expressed that it was advisable to offer premiums 

 for an exhibition of fruit and flowers, for which the state and local 

 horticultural societies should contribute an equal amount; in ac- 

 cordance with which understanding a resolution was passed, 

 instructing the president and executive committee to complete the 

 arrangements for such meeting. 



On motion, the society adjourned sine die.
