“President Smith. Our differing experience shows that it is not 
fit to recommend for general cultivation. 
Mr. Hart. J agree with what Mr. Cook says of it if planted with 
the Wilson or Boston Pine. 
Mr. Cook. It does best on clay loam and is better when fertilized 
by other kinds, but that is not necessary. 
It was voted to act upon one variety at a time. 
The vote being taken on Seth Boyden the motion was lost; four for 
and seven against. 
The vote being taken on Green Prolific, the motion was carried; 
eight for and one against, 
Motion was made and seconded to recommend Seth Boyden for 
trial. 
Motion was carried by unanimous vote. 
Col. Cheney and Kentucky. 
Recommended “‘for trial” by unanimous vote. 
Michigan Seedling. 
Motion was made and seconded to let stand recommended “for 
trial.” 
Motion carried, 6 for and 1 against. 
Prouty’s Seedling. 
Mr. Hari. Think it was through Mr. Bates recommendation 
that this variety was recommended for trial. I do not suppose he 
ever raised a hundred quarts of it. Would, however, keep it on 
trial. 
A motion to that effect was carried by unanimous vote. 
Countess de Haricourt (again.) 
Motion was made and seconded to recommend “‘for general culti- 
vation for near market and home use.” 
Mr. Cook. Better to put it on trial, for if it is not the same as 
Downer’s Prolific we do not know it. 
Mr. Hart. If it is the same no one. will be hurt by putting it 
on the same list. 
Motion carried unanimously.
