Mr. Stickney did not think it advisable to increase the number 

 of varieties on this list. Six was enough, at least until we are 

 well assured we have varieties whose merits are beyond question. 

 He was afraid of the Fall Spitzenberg; had handled it some; 

 was well pleased with it, but had not tried it sufficiently to feel 

 that we could safely recommend it. Should much prefer to put 

 "Walbridge in the place of Haas in the first and add the Fall 

 Spitzenberg to the second list. 



Mr. Tuttle said we were looking for good market varieties, 

 something that would be for us what the Baldwin and Greening 

 are at the east. We have no such varieties now. "We have no 

 commercial orchards in this state, and if one were to go into this 

 business, it would be difficult for him to know what to set. He 

 thought it would be well to recommend certain varieties for this 

 purpose, or to make up the list a little with reference to it, stating 

 what varieties are best adapted for it. We need but few varieties 

 for this, but want the best. Neither is it advisable to have too 

 many of a kind ; a few summer, a few fall varieties, and the 

 greater part winter sorts. 



Mr. Olds did not think it advisable to put Fall Spitzenberg on 

 the list, no matter what its hardiness and "quality. We 

 need more winter varieties. We have too many fall apples now. 

 This is what discourages our fruit growers. The market is soon 

 overstocked. They can't sell for enough to pay for marketing, 

 and the apples won't keep and so rot down, and then they say it 

 won't pay to raise fruit. 



Mr. Plumb withdrew his motion and seconded the motion to 

 substitute the Walbridge for Haas, which motion prevailed. No 

 further change was proposed, and the list was amended so as to 

 read. 



Six varieties best adaj)ted to Wisconsin^ Hardiness, Productiveness and Quality 

 Taken, into Consideration — "Duchess of Oldenburg, Wealthy, Fameuse, 

 Pewaukee, Walbridge, Plumb's Cider," 



And thus amended was adopted. 



The list for cultivation in favorable locations was next taken 

 up, and Mr. Plumb moved that Fall Spitzenberg and Haas be 

 added.
