Mr. Elliot : I would like to ask who has had a good crop 

 Virginia crab this year? Four voted yes. 



Now who has had trees of bearing size that have not had any 

 crop this year? Ten voted yes. 



The President : The question has been raised in regard to 

 the Minnetonka apple. I think we had better get at it in the same 

 wa^. Now I want to ask how many have seen the Minnetonka apple 

 fruit or have fruited it themselves ? Ten voted yes. 



How many of that number have seen it resemble the Long- 

 field, in fact, think it is the Lorigfield? Three voted yes. 



How many the Wealthy? Five voted yes. 



How many the Duchess? One voted yes. 



How many the Gideon ? One voted yes. 



Secretary Latham then referred to a communication he had re- 

 ceived from Mr. Wilwerding, of Freeport, in which he stated that 

 in his observation the Minnetonka turned cut invariably the Peter, 

 Wealthv or Gideon. 



Question : 'Ts jack pine a good tree for a windbreak, also red 

 cedar ?" 



Mr. Strand : Jack pine is one of the most rapid growing of all 

 our evergreens, and is a variety that should be much more gen- 

 erally planted than it has been. One objection to the jack pine is 

 the tendency of its leaves to hang on. They will hang on for a 

 good many years, and for an ornamental tree it does not make a 

 very good appearance. There is no tree that grows faster than the 

 jack pine. There are two or three diseases that affect the red 

 cedar of late, and that has had atendencv to not onlv make them 

 cost a good deal more, but it has also had n tendency to discourage 

 planting. It has not troubled us so much in the north, as the 

 northern red cedar does not seem to be much affected bv disease.
