116 ANNUAL REPORT. 
Mr. Grimes :—It has never borne with me. tNh 
Mr. Smith :—Have one on Paradise stock, and it has borne well 
enough so as to pay. 
Mr. Jewell :—Not more than one tree in twenty that has been 
planted in this State is now living. It fails in so many cases and 
succeeds in so few cases that we had better let it alone. * 
Mr. Dartt:—In Wisconsin it lives, but does not bear. 
Mr. Tuttle :—It bears sparsely for many years, but when it gets 
older it bears heavy alternate years, and proves profitable. 
Mr. Wilcox :—Have had it stand where the Transcendent was 
killed. Has done as well with me as the same number of any other 
kind of trees. 
Mr. Harris :—It has stood as well as any, the Duchess excepted, 
since the hard winter.

Barry says should not use it on his own stock. It is a shy bearer 
but a profitable tree.

dwarf it bears enough in one year to pay its cost.

against.
