118 ANNUAL REPORT. ee: 
his, | REVISION OF APPLE LIST RESUMED. - 
Haas Again. 
A motion was made to reconsider the action on the Haas, and to 
place it on the list for favorable localities. 
Mr. Jewell. Think there are some situations where it ought not 
to be planted. . 
Mr. Dart. Think the Haas entitled to the same ‘place as the 
Duchess and Wealthy. Think it one of our most promising trees. 
Mr. Pearce. Think it compares well with the Wealthy. Have 
seen nothing to beat the Haas. It stands the winter well, bears 
early, and will live as long as any. It bears well when top-grafted. 
Mr. Sias. I-top-worked some Transcendents with Haas in the 
spring of 1872. They grew more than six feet the first year. 
Grafted others at the same time, but the Haas did the best. It 
makes a good union with the Transcendent. ‘ 
Mr. Humphrey. Haas trees bore remarkably well in 1872. 
Think the Haas will always pay on good soil. 
Pres. Smith. Have not had a favorable experience with the 
Haas. 
Mr. Arnold. Have had some nae trees Killed Think it should 
be planted only on favorable soils and then protected. 
Mr. Jewell. Have budded the Haas on Transcendents and had 
- good results. Would prefer to graft in the top on small limbs. 
Mr. Dart. Think the weight of the testimony in favor of the 
Haas. 
The motion to put the Haas on the list recommended for “‘ gen- 
eral cultivation in favorable localities’’ was carried. 
. 
Plumb’s Cider. 
A motion was made to put Plumb’s Cider on the same list. 
Mr. Dart. J would not put it on the same list. 
Mr. Jewell. Ihave lost more of Plumb’s Cider in the nursery 
than of the Haas. They say in the southern part of the State 
that it is one of the best as an old tree. 
Motion was here made that in order to expedite business mem- 
bers be restricted in their speeches to three minutes, and be 
allowed to speak but once on each question. Carried. 
Mr. Pearce. Mr. Wilcox, of Trempealeau, says Plumb’s Cider 
is about as good as there is. 
Motion on Plumb’s Cider carried; 7 for and 1 against.
