Dr. Twitchell. The gentleman probably knows and speaks of , 
the Hesper Rose in place of Hesper Blush. ; 
Mr. Jordon. Saw trees of this variety in fine condition in i 
nepin county several years ago, but last year I saw the same trees 
neatly dead. * 
Mr. Brand. The tree is particularly subject to the borer. 
The amendment was carried unanimously. 
Woodland Winter. 
Motion was made and seconded to strike the Woodland Winter 
(Woodlawn Red) from the lists. . 
Mr. Sias. The old tree bears heavily. I have a few in the nur- 
sery and they are fine. 
Mr. Jordon. The fruit is as good as the standard apple. — 
Motion was made and seconded to amend so as to recommend 
“for trial by amateurs and pomologists,” 
The amendment was carried, 6 for and 2 against. 
Aiken’s Striped Winter. 
Motion was made and seconded to recommend ‘for biti by ama- 
teurs and pomologists.” 
Mr. Jordon. Have had it in beatae two or three years and it is 
not of any value. 
Motion carried by unanimous vote. 
General Grant. 
Motion was made and seconded to strike from the lists. 
Mr. Cotterell. We have men here who have had it without 
blight. 
Mr. Phillips. I had ten trees struck off by blight. 
Dr. Twitchell. It blights no more than the Transcendent. The 
fruit is larger than Transcendent and as good as the Duchess. 
Mr. Dart. It ought to go ahead of the Transcendent, Would 
like to have it recommended “for planting in limited quantities.” 
Mr. Hatfield. I got some trees and they have done well. 
Mr. Day. The tree is as hardy as the Transcendent and blights 
no more. The apples are large unless too many are allowed to grow. 
Mr. Wilcox. What has been said in its favor is my experience. 
Motion made and seconded to amend so as to recommend “for 
general cultivation.”
