TRANSACTIONS OF THE ILLINOIS 



Diana. — Weir — I move to strike out the recommendation of Di- 

 ana for the North. Lost. 



Norton 8 Virginia. — Galusha — I move to strike it out for the 

 North. Carried. 



Rogers Hybrid No. \. — Hull — I move to recommend it "for 

 trial," in South. Carried. 



Herbemont. — Pearson — I move to recommend it for family use 

 in Southern Illinois. Carried. 



Ives Seedling. — Hull — I found this grape healthy, where Con- 

 cords, on vines of the same age were rotting 60 per cent. It does 

 not generally bear as early by one year, as the Concord. 



Rulander. — Flagg — I move it be added for family use in the 

 South. 



McPike — I think it is the best grape in my vineyard. It is per- 

 fect, except in size. It is preferred over all others by all. It car- 

 ries a good cane, leaf and fruit. The vine is a little tender. Is 

 a strong grower. 



Colman — I have known it 10 or 12 years and saw it this fall at 

 St. Genevieve. It is supposed by some to be a foreign variety, and 

 I think it is related. It is liable to attacks of leaf hopper, and I 

 was told at St. Genevieve that it is only a moderate bearer and 

 somewhat tender. 



Dr. Edwards — I think the name should be St. Genevieve, and 

 it is no more a foreign sort than the Herbemont. Weisenecher at 

 St Louis, has quite a vineyard of it. It has done well with him and 

 stood the winters tolerably. 



Clagget — It is not profitable for wine. Weisenecher says his 

 grape is neither the Rulander nor St. Genevieve. 



Tice — The Red Elbing is Mr. Weisenechcr's grape. He sold 

 stock to Mr. Husmann, and at Hermann from its resemblance to the 

 foreign variety, was called Rulander. It is different from St. Gene- 

 vieve. 



Spaulding — It is a good family grape. Mr. Weisenecher calls 

 it Rulander in talking of it to me. Carried.
