Mr. Cotterell, I can confirm what Mr. Sias has said. There is 
no blight upon it. The fruit is sought after more than any other, - 
_ and the tree has borne exceedingly each year. 
Motion carried by unanimous vote.

Russell’s Sweet Winter’. 
Mr. Day inquired concerning this variety. 
Mr. Sias. The fruit is too small. Have seen the tree. 
Mr. Day. A neighbor of mine has some answering its descrip- 
tion. They have never blighted. 
Mr. Wilcor. I got two trees three years ago. Both have 
blighted to the ground. 
Minnesota. 
Mr. Mason. What is the objection to this. It has never blighted. 
Mr. Phillips. Does it ever bear? 
Mr. Harris. J have trees large enough to bear three bushels, 
and they have not borne. (See “Minnesota” again.) 
Conical, 
Motion was made and seconded to recommend “for planting in 
limited quantities.” 
Motion carried, 8 for and 1 against. 
Meader’s Sweet Russet. 
Motion was made and seconded to place on same list with Conical. 
Mr. Brand. Wave had several trees in bearing for several years. 
The tree never blights, is hardy and a fair bearer. 
Mr. Miller. I have eaten the apples and they are nice; entirely 
without the crab taste. 
Mr. Jordon. The tree is a shy bearer, little subject to blight. 
The fruit is very delicious, honey sweet. 
Mr. Brand. The trees were planted in 1871, hence they have 
not stood long enough to determine whether prolific or not. 
Motion lost, 2 for and 5 against.
