— Boyden’s No. 18 and Red Jacket. : 
Mr. Jewell. Does any one know anything about Boyden’ 5 No. 
15? With me it is better than No. 30. (Mr. J. also enquired | 
any had tried the Red Jacket, but received no reply to either in- 
quiry.) 
It was moved and seconded that the list of strawberries stand 
over as last adopted. 
Countess de Horicouri: 
PT. 
Mr. Elliot. IT want to say a word about the Countess de Hari- 
court. Wm. Lyon, of Minneapolis, marketed 20 to 300 quarts 
daily last summer. It stood last winter the best of any in our 
section. 
It was moved to amend the motion by adding Countess de Hari- 
court and Prouty’s Seedling for trial. The amended motion was 
then carried. 
REVISION OF RASPBERRY LIST. 
The revision of the raspberry list was the next business taken up. 
Mr. Grimes. I move to recommend the Doolittle and Seneca 
for general cultivation for black-caps, and the Philadelphia and 
Turner for red. The Doolittle is the earlier but the Seneca is the 
better berry. 
Pres. Smith. My. Brimhall, Mr. Boxell and myself agree on 
the Doolittle, Seneca and Ontario as the best black-caps. The On- 
tario has about the same season as the Doolittle, but it is sweeter 
_ and richer than either that or Seneca, and about the same as to 
hardiness. The Mammoth Cluster I have thrown over, for its 
want of hardiness, and the dry chippy character of its fruit. 
Mr. Grimes. The Doolittle and Seneca are about equal in 
hardiness. ‘ 
The motion was divided, and a motion to recommend the Doo- 
little and Seneca for general cultivation for black-caps was carried 
unanimously. 
A motion to recommend the Ontario black-cap for trial, was 
carried unanimously. 
Turner and Philadelphia. 
A motion was made to recommend the Philadelphia and Turner 
for general cultivation for reds.
