DISCUSSION ON THE FRUIT LIST. 25 



Mr. Bunnell: How about the Philadelphia? It is a good 

 kind, and it is very popular among the people. 



Mr. Philips: Do you make a recommendation for trial? 



Mr. Wedge: We make no recommendations for trial. They 

 are all cheap plants. They cost but a few cents anyway. If 

 we made out any list for trial, it would be a long one. 



On motion of Mr. Elliot, the Souhegan was added to the list. 



Mr. Brackett: I should think the Hansell ought to be added 

 to the list. 



Mr. Wedge: "List of blackberries: Ancient Briton, Sny- 

 der." 



On motion of Mr. Smith, the list was adopted. 



Mr. Elliot: While we are talking about blackberries, in the 

 Wisconsin report we have two kinds of blackberries under the 

 name of Ancient Briton and Briton, and one is earlier than the 

 other, and they have decided to name one the Badger in place 

 of Briton. I think we have two varieties here under the name 

 of Briton and Ancient Briton. 



Mr. Pearce: There are two varieties of blackberries, and 

 they both went under the name of Ancient Briton. One was 

 named last winter the Badger blackberry. 



Mr. A. H. Brackett: We have the variety in this county, and 

 it resembles the Snyder. 



On motion of Mr. Elliot, the Badger was added to the list. 



A motion by Mr. Johnson to add the Taylor to the list of 

 blackberries was lost. 



Mr. Smith: I have the Taylor growing in the same row with 

 Ancient Briton and Snyder, and with me it is nowhere near as 

 good as either one of the others. I should object to putting it 

 on the list. 



Mr. Harris: My experience with the Taylor is that I do not 

 want it. 



Mr. Wedge: "Currants: Red Dutch. White Grape, Victoria, 

 Stewart. Long Branch Holland, North Star." 



Dr. M. M. Frissclle: I move the old Red Dutch be stricken 

 off. 



Mr. Elliot: I beg leave to differ with my friend Prisselle 

 about the Red Dutch. There may be some varieties that are 

 doing better on his soil. He has a peculiar soil, but on a sandy 

 prairie soil the old Red Dutch will produce as much as any- 

 thing we have, 



Mr. Dewain Cook: The Red Dutch is the best kind we have 

 in Minnesota today.
