24 MINNESOTA STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



Mr. Philips: We in Wisconsin, especially in the northern 

 part, watch your fruit list closely. Your former president, 

 Truman L. Smith, made a statement at your annual meeting 

 fifteen j^ears ago that was worth ^1,000 to me. He said in St. 

 Paul the Virginia sold, at one dollar per bushel when the Trans- 

 cendent sold at fifty cents a bushel. We are watching your list 

 closely. I think the Virginia is an advance over the Trans- 

 cendent. 



A motion made by Mr. Barrett to place the Transcendent on 

 the list was lost. 



On motion of Mr. Pearce the list was adopted. 



Mr. Wedge: "Crabs and hybrids for trial: Dartt, Green- 

 wood, Pride of Minneapolis, Crampton's No. 3."' 



Mr. Harris: I move to strike out the "Minneapolis" part. 



Col. Stevens: That tree was introduced by Mr. Wyman El- 

 liot, and it is known as the Pride of Minneapolis, and I am not 

 in favor of striking it out because Mr. Elliot named it. 



Mr. Harris: If the trees could be still obtained I would make 

 a motion to place it on the first list. It is the most profitable 

 crab I know of. 



Mr. Pearce. There are two profitable crabs left off. I move 

 the Powers be placed on the first list. It is one of the finest 

 crabs I know of, but it is not generally known. 



A vote being taken, the motion prevailed. 



On motion of Mr. Somerville, the list of crabs and hybrids 

 for trial was adopted. 



Mr. Wedge: "Plums. Best for general cultivation: Desota, 

 Forest Garden, Weaver, Cheney, Wolf River. 



On motion of Mr. Elliot the list was adopted. 



On motion of Mr. Harris the Rollingstone was added to the 

 list. 



A motion by Mr. Harris to add the Hawkeye was lost. 



Mr. Wedge: "Most promising varieties for trial: Rock- 

 ford, Wyant, Ocheeda, New Ulm, Stoddard, Surprise, Mankato." 



On motion of Mr. Elliot the list was adopted. 



Mr. Wedge: "Grapes: Concord, Delaware, Moore's Early, 

 Worden, Agawam, Brighton, Janesville."' 



On motion of Mr. Elliot the list was adopted. 



Mr. Wedge: "Raspberries: Red varieties; Marlboro, 

 Turner, Cuthbert, Brandywine. 



"Black and purple varieties: Ohio, Palmer, Nemaha, Gregg, 

 Schafter, Older." 



On motion of Mr. Somerville the list was adopted.
