MINNESOTA STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 43 
Mr. Jewell had been personally familiar with the Walbridge 
for several years. Found it generally regarded valtatie, 
Considered it more hardy than Fameuse and second only to 
the Duchess. In this State his familiarity with it extended 
only during the last four years. He regarded it as the best 
late keeper yet offered to us. 
Mr. Moulton set a few trees three years since. They flad 
generally stood well. 
Mr. Ford said he was satisfied to recommend it for favora- 
ble localities, and it was finally placed on the list. 
THE ST. LAWRENCE 
Was next taken up. 
Mr. Day had fruited this variety in Dakota county the past 
season ; considered it hardier than Fameuse or Fall Stripe. 
Mr. Stubbs said he had planted a-few in Hennepin county 
which stood pretty well until the last winter, but he had not 
much confidence in it for his locality. 
- Mr. Jewell said that while this variety was not as hardy as 
some, it was too valuable to throw over, it coming early into 
bearing, and he believed it would succeed in favorable locali- 
ties. 
Mr. Harris spoke in its favor, and moved to place it on the 
list. 
The motion was carried. 
PRICE’S SWEET. 
Mr. Jewell would place this apple upon about the same 
footing as the Saxton, and thought by all means it ought to 
be placed on the list. 
On motion to that effect, it was placed upon the list. 
RED ASTRACHAN. 
The Secretary moved to place this variety on the list to 
recommend for general cultivation. 
Mr. Grimes dissented from this idea, in that his experience 
placed it inferior in hardiness even to the Fameuse. 
Gen. Nutting, of Faribault, objected to placing it on the 
list for general cultivation. Even if hardy its season was 
near the same as the Duchess, and it was so slow coming into 
bearing, and bore so little, that it was an unprofitable invest- 
ment. 
On putting the motion it was voted down, and a motion to 
place it on the dead list was carried, with but two opposing 
votes.
