AIKEN’S GREEN WINTER. 
Aiken’s Green Winter was passed, four to none. 
HYSLOP CRAB. 
A motion was made to discourage the cultivation of the Hyslop 
Crab. 
Judge Baker coming in just then made a heavy speech against the 
motion. They looked, he said, to the Hyslop and Transcendent to 
get all their fruit. 
Mr. Dartt would like to see the tree stricken from the list. The 
tree was hardy, but subject to blight. 
Mr, Smith’s experience did not coincide with those of others. The 
Hyslop in the St. Paul market would bring one-third more than any 
other crab. It was famous for jelly. If fruit growers would take 
hold of it, thousands of dollars might be saved by going into the 
manufacture of jelly. It keeps longer than any other crab in the 
market, with the exception of the Soulard. Blights a little, but 
should be retained on the list. . 
Mr. Gideon gave his experience. He could get 25 per cent. more 
for the Hyslop than for the Transcendent, but could make more at 
selling the latter at $1.25 than the former at $1.50. He was not in 
favor of discarding it, by any means. 
Mr. Brimhall was in favor of retaining it. It sells readily in 
market, the color is good, and he thought it a valuable apple for this 
locality. He could never get enough to supply his customers. 
Mr. Jewell said the objection to the Hyslop was in his mind so 
strong as to constitute a sufficient reason for its rejection. It has a 
thick skin, is liable to blight, and generally inferior to the others. 
A motion to strike it from the list was lost. 
Mr. Jordan thought the Hyslop, in comparison with the others, 
was pretty much as the fellow’s mixture of sawdust and meal, for 
wintering calves—the less sawdust there was, the better. The less 
Hyslop there was, the better. 
The variety was finally recommended for cultivation in small 
quantities, by a vote of 10 for and 3 against. 
THE TRANSCENDENT. 
The Transcendent was next taken up. Mr. Jewell moved that it 
be placed on the list for general planting, for those not afraid of 
blight. There was, he said, no dispute as to the quality of the fruit. 
Blight was the only cause of trouble. 
The motion was passed, 14 to 1.
