pounds Victor at same time and in same way and got § 
(540 pounds). The Dunmore is a good baking potato, ir

Early Rose. Mr. Gray proposed that the Society recom 
of potatoes for cultivation but the proposition was not s 
Hart's Seedling Strawberry. 
The report on Hart’s Seedling Strawberry was called for ual no : x 
member of the committee was present. . EOE 
Mr. Pearce commenced to give a verbal report and then the Sec- 
retary was directed to read report as contained in Report of Olmsted 
County Horticultural Society, printed in last transactions, _ 
Mr. Smith. Have cultivated it for two years. Had it in bearing 
last year. The Grange met at my house and pronounced the fruit 
the best on my place. I am much pleased with it. It stood the 
winters as well as any and it bears well. The fruit is not as hard — 
as the Wilson. The quality is not excelled and the size is good. - 
The yield has not been fairly tested. Mr. Hart requested me to 
name it. I have thought of “Winona” and “Hart’s Minnesota.” 
Would like to have the Society decide upon a name. 
Mr. Brimhall. Would say that the vines in Mr. Smith’s hands 
had every advantage of soil and care. Under these conditions the 
first was equal to any on vines of the same age. The flavor is un- 
excelled. 
Pres. Smith. It bore for a longer time than most varieties, and 
the size didnot fall off. 
Mr. Dart. If this berry is all it appears to be we have done all 
we as a society need do, and may let Mr. Hart name it himself. 
Mr. Elliot. think it as hardy as the Wilson. This year it 
came out as well though not protected. Know of none that will 
produce plants as well. It yields well but can’t say that it will do 
as well on all soils asthe Wilson. Don’t think it will bear as much 
hard usuage in shipping as the Wilson, but it stands up well. 
Mr. Grimes. I move to call it “ Hart’s Winona.”
