Early Strawberry. 
Motion was made and seconded to place on same list. 
Motion carried by unanimous vote. 
Meader’s Red Winter. 
Motion was made and seconded to recommend “for general culti- 
vation.” 
Mr. Harris. Mr. Jewell says it is one of the worst to blight and 
it grows too slow for firewood. 
Mr. Brand. Tf I could have but one variety, I would take Mead- 
er’s Red Winter. Have over 50 trees in bearing. The original 
tree did not blight to injure, and I have never had any blight on 
mine except on trees that I had pruned severely. 
Mr. Mason. I know that Mr. Meader himself has but little con- 
fidence in it, and about Hesper, you cannot sell the variety at all. 
Mr. Sias. Have had it in bearing for three years but do not 
think very favorably of it. It is not hardy enough. 
Motion lost, 1 for and 5 against. 
Power's Large Red. 
Motion was made and seconded to recommend “for general culti- 
vation.” 
Mr. Sias. I believe I was the first to introduce it in this State: 
[ got it from S. B. Parsons, of Flushing, L. I. It is perfectly hardy 
as free from blight as any I know of and an enormous bearer. The 
fruit is a little smaller than Transcendent and about the same sea- 
son as Transcendent.
