"Which i3 the best form for planting- strawberries to insure best 

 pollenizationr" 



Prof. Green: I prefer to plant two rows pistillate and one row 

 Btaniinate. 



Mr. Kellogg, (Wisconsin): If it is for the farmer and he wants a 

 single row, I should alternate every other plant, plant a pistillate 

 and then a perfect. If he can plant two rows, I should advise for 

 the general farmer that he plant one row pistillate and one row per- 

 fect, and on the outside of those rows he would always have the 

 proper plants for replanting. For the market I prefer two rows of 

 perfect and four of pistillate. I believe we get better pollenization 

 if we plant two rows perfect and four rows pistillate. For that reason 

 I would plant two rows perfect and four rows pistillate. 



"Will it pay a man having one thousand Duchess apple trees to 

 provide cold storage to keep his apples? If so, what is the most 

 practical course for him to pursuer" 



Mr. Elliot: I am not competent to answer that question, I have 

 not had experience with cold storage. It seems to me if I could not 

 use the kind of cold storage they use here in the city I would pro- 

 vide myself with a quantity of ice and arrange a storage room for 

 apples underneath, so the cold would come down from the ice above 

 it. That would be my method. 



Mr. Harris: I should think that kind of cold storag-e would pay 

 if they would keep to be sold in the winter and spring, but I think 

 the better way would be to have a man in the city put them in 

 storage. 



"Where is the best place to hold our meetings, in the city or in 

 the country towns?" 



Pres. Underwood: The advisability has been discussed of hold- 

 ing our meetings at the agricultural school. These questions are 

 asked to bring out an expression from the members as to what their 

 preference would be or as to where the most good could be accom- 

 plished. 



Mr. Philips, (Wisconsin): This is a good place. 



Mr. Kellogg, (Wisconsin): Lake City is one of the best places I 

 know of in the state. 



Pres. Underwood: Of course, there is no reflection intende'd on 

 any place, if there should be an e.xpression in favor of any one 

 place. This was simplj- to get an expression as to whether it would 

 be advisable to hold our meetings in Minneapolis or St. Paul or go 

 to some of the smaller towns, move around. 



Mr. Kellogg. (Wisconsin): With us in Wisconsin we migrate from 

 place to place. If we find an opportunity to go to a place that needs 

 a horticultural stimulus we go there, and we have sometimes built 

 up a good local society in that waj'. We have done it more in the 

 summer meetings than in the winter meetings. In the winter 

 we want a hall that will h(jld the people. We go to Madison, be- 

 cause we want to be near the legislature.
