Tkansactions at thk Annual Meeting. 143 



Mr. Tuttle gave it as his experience that in rich soil and on old 

 roots the Concord will not bear the close pruning of the renewal 

 system. The vines should be given a larger growth. Two vines 

 in Baraboo, treated in this manner, bore at least six hundred 

 pounds of grapes last season and seven hundred this. 



Mr. Lowe moved to strike the Champion from the list for trial. 

 It was of little value ; the birds would not touch it the quality 

 was so poor. 



Carried. 



He also moved to add to the list for trial, the Essex (Rogers 41), 

 Herbert (Rogers 44), and Elvira. 



Which motion prevailed.

 Lindley.
