WINTER APPLES. 



Fulton. — This apple was on the last year's list as a winter apple. 



Mr. Bryant moved to transfer to fall list. Had had it ripen in 

 September, and rarely kept till January. This character was sup- 

 ported by Shearman, Robson and others. It was so transferred. 



Peck's Pleasant. — Waterman moved to add. Had been suc- 

 cessful with it. 



Bryant — Have not succeeded with it. 



Rice — When grown on timber soil we get fruit. Lime or ashes 

 on prairie soil is an advantage. 



McAfee — With me grows better on prairie than timber soil. 



Wier — Good for fattening stock and children. 



Gilpin. — Miller moved to add to list for general purposes. Af- 

 ter the usual discussion, it was adopted as profitable. 



The list then stands as follows for winter apples : 



Westfield Seek No Further, F. 31. ; Dominie, F. M. ; Yellow 

 Belleflower, F. M. ; Jonathan, F. 31. ; Tollman's Sweet, F. ; Ben 

 Davis, F. M. ; Northern Spy, F. M. ; Wagoner, F. 31. ; Roman 

 Stem, F. M. ; Minkler, F. M. ; Rawles' Janet, F. 31. ; Winesap, 

 F. 31. ; Englisb Golden Russet, F. 31. ; Willow, F. M. ; Gilpin, 

 F. 31. 



CRAB APPLES. 



The Yellow and large Red Siberian crabs, Montreal Beauty, 

 Transcendent and Ilyslop crabs were on the old list, to which was 

 added to the list after a long discussion, the Soulard crab, being 

 highly spoken of by many, especially for its long keeping qualities.
