Minnesora SvaTve HortTicuLTurAL Society. 39 
Mr. Wilcox. I move to amend by adding “if top worked on 
Crabs.” Many varieties thus succeed when they would not if grafted 
onthe apple. The Haas is one of them. 
Mr. Latham. It is not safe to recommend the Haas “for general 
cultivation.” 
Mr. Jordon. Yt is not entirely hardy here. 
Mr. Pearce. I have not decided whether to graft any Haas or 
not. The tree is a good grower but not hardy and is liable to in- 
jury. 
The motion was lost, two for and ten against. 
Plunb’s Cider. 
Motion was made and seconded to recommend Plumhb’s Cider ‘ for 
general cultivation.” 
Mr. Pearce. I do not believe there was one tree that was not 
killed or injured by the winter of ’72~73. 
Mr. Latham offered an amendment, which was seconded, to strike 
from the list recommenked “for general cultivation in favorable 
localities.” 
Mr. Brand. Better leave it there ; it does well on Mr. Gideon’s 
place. 
Mr. Latham. I would change my amendment to recommend 
“for favorable localities.” 
This was not objected to and Plumb’s Cider was recommended 
“for favorable localities” by a unanimous vote. 
Price’s Sweet. 
Motion was made and seconded to place with Plumb’s Cider. 
Motion carried by unanimous vote. 
Mr. Kenney. Ihave thirty on transcendent stocks looking well, 
but on their own stocks they are not good. 
Saxton. 
Motion was made and seconded to strike the Saxton from the list. 
Mr. Pearce. There is no question but the tree is hardy and no 
tree produces more fruit. Jt continues to bear even when diseased. 
The apples are very good. Better let it stand on list recommended 
“for general cultivation in favorable localities.” 
Mr. Stas. I have had it for 18 years and not a blossom yet. 
Mr. Jordon. We don’t want it to cumber the ground.
