of hardiness," and in the "second degree of hardiness" we have 

 the Moore's Early, Brighton, Delaware, Worden, Agawam and Con- 

 cord. 



In the case of raspberries there is no change. 



These are the only changes in the ft nit list that have been 

 recommended. 



The President : This is an important feature of the meeting, 

 and there may be some questions some one would like to ask. 

 Perhaps it would be well to get at it in this way: It has been 

 suggested that we have a show of hands on varieties now, and I 

 want you all to have a full understanding of what this means. 

 We will go through the list in a rapid way. We cannot allow 

 any discussion just now, and a show of handt; will be a discussion 

 in itself. The idea is to find out how many have had either 

 experience or observation with the different varieties, and wheth- 

 er it has been favorable or unfavorable. Those who have had 

 a favorable experience with a variety will raise their hands, and 

 those who have had an unfavorable experience will manifest it 

 in the same way. That does not mean that vou have planted the 

 variety yourself, but means that you have some knowledge of it. 

 This is not to indicate whether you consider it a good variety to 

 plant generally, but whether in your particular locality you have 

 had or observed a favorable experience. 



A show of hands was accordingly had upon the varieties named 

 below with the following result :
