46 MINNEAPOLIS STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



season, January to April; origin, Russia; tree, upright, symmetrical and of rather 

 slow growth. 



A. G. Tuttle: Repka Malenka with me bears early and keeps until apples come 

 again. I find it is fully as good a keeper as Little Romauite and a much better apple 

 in quality. 



YELLOW SWEET GROUP. 



Yellow Sweet; No. 321; Greerf Sweet of Patten.

 broad, medium deep, slightly wrinkled; calyx, open; flavor, sweet, good; season, 

 summer; origin, Russia; tree, slow, medium upright grower, free from blight, slow in 

 coming into bearing. 



O. G. Patten: This is one of the freest from blight and one of the hardiest that we 

 have, and valuable, though a tardy bearer.

 rious); Charlottenthaler; Enthaler; Thaler; Erdbeer Streifling; 

 Nitchner's Erdbeer.

ANIS GROUP. 



Anis; No. 317; 9S4, Kursk Anis; Red Anis; 32 M; Russian Green; 

 Blue Anis; Yellow Anis; Pink Anis; Striped Anis; Gettnan. 



Description: Anis— Size, 4 to 5; form, roundish oblate, angular; color, light 

 green, striped with red in sun; cavity, broad, deep; stem, short; basin, broad, irregu- 

 lar, angular; calyx, medium, closed; core, open; flesh, tender, juicy, greenish white, 

 with dark green water line around core; flavor, agreeable mild acid; season, Septem- 

 ber and October; origin, Russia; tree, medium upright; fruit drops easily. 



A. G Tuttle: I move that all be discarded, owing to small size. 



J. S. Harris: I second the motion. However, I think the Russian Green should be 

 retained for very cold latitudes, as it is vefry hardy, and the tree is blight proof. For 

 milder sections the Anis group is too small.
