MICHIGAN STATE POMOLOGTCAL SOCIETY. 20'5 



pound. This was in northeast Ohio. The Delaware is a hardy 

 vine, and easily grown. 



H. S. Clubb — The fear of overstocking the market arises 

 from the fact that grapes are not yet produced with sufficient 

 abundance to have arrangements by forwarding agents and 

 others, for shipping to points where required. "When the crop 

 becomes large, new markets will be opened and grapes will be 

 more extensively used. Besides, there will be facilities for 

 canning, making jellies, syrups and wine, wliich will vastly 

 increase the demand. 



Mr. G. S. Linderman — I agree as to there being no danger 

 of glutting the market when the proper facilities are acquired 

 for shipping, canning, etc. 



Mr. Bradfield — People will prefer the Concord because of 

 its being larger. But it is perfectly easy to graft any new 

 variety on to the old stock, if found desirable. 



Substitute adopted — ayes 16, nays 3. 



On motion of Henry S. Clubb, the vote was reconsidered^ 

 and the following resolution was adopted in lieu thereof: 



Resolved, That this Society regard the Delaware and the

 latter for common use. 



Adopted — yeas 16, nays 1.
