38 ANNUAL REPORT. 
Moved by the Secretary that the Tetofsky be recommended 
for cultivation in village and city gardens. He said it was pecu- 
liarly adapted for such places, as it was hardy enough, and a 
small and compact tree and early bearer, but on account of 
its diminutive size it does not make a very good appearance 
where planted promiscuously in the orchard with standard 
apples. Thought the fruit too perishable for shipping long 
distances to market. / oui 
Mr. Stevens, of Minneapolis, favored the Tetofsky. He 
was very much attached to it, as the first apple he had raised 
was of this variety. Hoped the motion of Mr. Harris would 
not prevail, because the tree was equally valuable for the 
farm as the city garden. 
Mr. Jewell, Lake City, said his experience with it was very 
much the same as with the Duchess. Had 7,000 two-year old 
trees, and they came out all right, as did others in his part of 
the State. Believed when they died it was from root killing, 
and if they had been mulched they would have survived. 
Mr. Bowerman, of Faribault, said he did not lose any in the 
nursery. They were not mulched, but weeds were allowed to 
grow to protect them. 
Mr. Fuller said he felt more favorable to this variety than 
the Duchess. In his experience, seventy-eight miles west, on 
the St. Paul and Pacific railroad, he had but few trees that 
were not affected in his nursery. Some tree roots, as the 
Haas, were all killed, while others were not much hurt, and 
Tetofsky looked best of all. 
Mr. Grimes hoped the society would not confine Tetofsky 
to towns, as the country wished some. His Tetofsky had 
proved all right, has never had one killed back a bud; was 
one of four varieties that bore last year. 
Mr. Howe, of Minneapolis, and Mr. Ford, of St. Paul, sug- 
gested that the society recommend what location to plant this 
tree in as favorable to success. 
The question being called for on the Secretary’s motion, it 
was lost, and a motion to recommend it for general cultiva- 
tion was carried. 
WEALTHY. 
Moved and seconded that the Wealthy be recommended for 
general cultivation. 
Mr. Peffer being called upon for his experience, said that 
P. M. Gideon, of Excelsior, left him some of the Wealthy to 
propagate ; also some of the Molly, which latter is proving to 
be worthless. Said that they had got somewhat mixed in 
sending out, and that some had probably received the latter
