several other varieties, but the only other one of them that 
bore fruit was the Early Richmond grafted on the Black Eng-.

Mr. Carter, of St. Peter, is familiar with this cherry. Does

valuable, hardy, and a great acquisition to the fruits of Min-

This variety of cherry was endorsed and recommended for 
cultivation. 
Mr. Ford wanted to know if any one had trees under cul- 
tivation of the Lieb cherry. 
Mr. Grimes had them, but could not speak understandingly 
of the merit of the fruit because the plants were too young. 
Mr. Ford had heard considerable in its favor, and moved 
that the society recommend the Lieb cherry for trial. 
The motion was agreed to. 
Mr. Truman M. Smith said he had been successful with the

Mr. Ford then suggested that the President (who has had 
an extensive experience in grape culture) recommend an addi-

varieties for general cultivation. 
This suggestion meeting with favor, the President was 
appointed a committee of one to prepare such lists and report 
in the evening.

GENTLEMEN—For one individual to select a list of three or six varieties 
of grapes from the scores of candidates to be found in catalogues, and 
with even a greater variety of tastes to please, is a difficult undertaking.
