22 MINNESOTA STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



the list according to productiveness. If they have, a foot-note 

 should be added to the effect that a certain one on the list is 

 not the most productive, at the same time it is adapted to the 

 class in which it is put. If the list were arranged in that way, 

 we should get over this confusion of hardiness and productive- 

 ness. 



A vote being taken on the motion of Mr. Cook to strike the 

 Tetofsky from the list, it was lost. 



Mr. Wedge: We do not want any thing on this list that can- 

 not be obtained in the nurseries. 



On motion of Prof. Green the list of the second degree of 

 hardiness was adopted. 



Mr. Wedge: "Promising varieties for trial: Patten's 

 Greening, Okabena, Peerless, Repka Malenka, Anisim, Yellow 

 Sweet, Kaump, Gilbert, Brett, Christmas, Blushed Colville, 

 Cross 413, White Pigeon." 



Mr. Philips: What Brett do you mean? 



Mr. Wedge: The only good one, the red Brett. 



Mr. Richardson: I am a nurseryman and raise trees to sell, 

 and I have got my pet hobbies. I am perfectly willing to take 

 all the responsibility in advertising them, and I do not want the 

 society to mention one of them. If I cannot introduce what I 

 have to sell myself let them go down. I do not believe as a so- 

 ciety we ought to mention a single variety that is exclusively 

 controlled by one man. I do not believe there is a person here 

 who wants the society to do that, and I opposed it last year 

 and I oppose it this year. 



Mr. Clark: What variety do you refer to? 



Mr. Richardson: I do not refer to any variety. 



Upon motion the list was adopted. 



Mr. Wedge: "Best crabs and hybrids for cultivation: Vir- 

 ginia, Martha, Whitney, Early Strawberry, Minnesota, Sweet 

 Russett, Gideon's No. 6, Briar Sweet, Tonka, Powers.'" 



Mr. Cook: Have you any other name for Gideon's No. 6? 



Mr. Wedge: I think very strongly it is the Mary. 



Mr. M. C. Bunnell: Did you leave the Hyslop out on ac- 

 count of blight? 



Mr. Wedge: Yes, we left it out on account of its blighting 

 so badly. 



Col. Stevens: I should like to ask the chairman of the com- 

 mittee whether the Transcendent, the poor man's apple, is left 

 out in consequence of blighting. You can travel for miles and 

 miles over our Western prairies and see nothing but Transcend-
