STRAWBERRY LIST REVISED. 



Large Early Scarlet. — Dunlap — I move to strike it out for 

 market in Central Illinois. Carried. 



Longwortlis Prolific. — Hull — I move to add it for family as 

 south. Lost. 



McAvoys Superior. — Hull — I move to add it for family use, 

 south. Lost. 



French's Seedling. — Galusha — I move it be added for family 

 use north. Lost. But on subsequent consideration, carried. 



Nicanor. — Wier — I move it be added for trial, north. Lost. 



LongivortJi s Prolific, again. — Hull — I move it be recommended 

 "for trial," in southern Illinois. 



Spaulding — It is the best strawberry in the list. 



Hull — It is the most popular one in Alton. I put it and Wil- 

 son's Albany in the same crate and sent it to Chicago, and it out- 

 sold the Wilson 10 cents a quart. 



Colman — It is next best to Wilson for market. 



Spaulding — Longworth's Prolific will yield more good handsome 

 berries than any other variety. As the berry is well known, I move 

 that the recommendation be "for renewed trial." Carried. 



Green Prolific. — Dr. Edwards — I recommend it for family use, 

 anyhow. The vine is a rapid, strong grower, and with me it bore 

 more than double as much as the Wilson. 



Pearson — It sold with me for from two to five cents more per 

 uart than Wilson, and outbears anything going.
