Prof. S. B. Green : I might say in further explanation of 

 this report that the committee did not change the list of the first 

 degree of hardiness. 



In the second degree of hardiness we simply dropped the 

 Longfield. We take the Longfiield out of that list and put it 

 down under the head of "valuable in some locations." 



Then we have added another list which we have entitled in 

 this way : "Most valuable varieties for commercial planting." 

 In this list we have put the Wealthy, Duchess, Patten's Green- 

 ing, Okabena and Northwestern Greening. 



To the list of varieties recommended for trial we have added 

 the Gilbert and dropped the Kaump. 



We have also added the Northwestern Greening to the list of 

 varieties of the second degree of hardiness. 



In the list of crabs and hybrids we have made no change ; the 

 list remains as it was last year. 



In the list of plums we have added the word (freestone) 

 after the Wolf. We have dropped the New Ulm plum 

 altogether, and for this reason : It is a large variety, of 

 good quality, and the tree is productive, but it is a difficult tree 

 to grow in the nursery, and nurserymen have practically stopped 

 growing it. It is a very crooked grower, and we thought it had 

 better be dropped from the list because it is almost impossible 

 to obtain it. 



We have added the Cumberland to the list of cap raspberries. 



To the list of native fruits we have added the high bush cran- 

 berry. 



This in substance about covers the report of the committee, 

 and I will move the adoption of the report. 



Mr, Emil Sahler: Withi me the New Ulm plum does excel- 

 lently and is a very fine plum. 



Mr. Dewain Cook : The New Ulm is a fine and large plum. 

 The tree grows very crooked, but the main fault is that it rots so 

 badly that we can hardly use it. I scarcely can get enough for 

 mv own use.
