114 ANNUAL REPORT. 
a Tetofsky. 
No other action being taken, the Tetofsky was left on the list for 
general cultivation. 
Stewart’s Sweet. 
Mr. Harris moved to strike Stewart’s Sweet from the list for gen- 
eral cultivation. 
Mr. Grimes :—It is hardy enough. 
Mr. Jordan :—Some are dying in Rochester, and it is a crab. 
Mr. Brand :—A crab without question. 
Mr. Grimes :—It is an apple because the fruit has a short stem. 
Mr. Jewell :—The long stem is not an infallible characteristic of 
crabs. I know of no uniform characteristic of crab apples. 
(A question was asked concerning its productiveness, to which 
no answer was made.) 
Mr. Dartt:—A want of knowledge as to its productiveness is 
proof that it is not generally known. It may he hardy while 
young, but not when old like the Saxton in this respect. 
Mr. Stewart :—The trees are scattered from Minneapolis to Mani- 
toba, and I hear good accounts from it. It is my opinion it will 
bear enough to make it profitable. It has had a hard chance be- 
cause of the grasshoppers eating them up in many regions. 
Mr. Harris mentioned a Transcendent that at 15 years bore 18 
bushels.
