trial.” 
Mr. Fuller. The tree is fine and a good grower, and the fruit is 
fine. It has done well in my locality for five or six years. Shall 
continue to plant and cultivate it. r 
Mr. Jordon. Had hoped to make a funeral pile of it at this 
meeting. 
Mr. Harris. The Gen. Grant among others could not be sold 
last fall. 
Dr. Twitchell. My neighbor said to me that all the trees he put 
out next year should be Gen. Grant and Haas. 
Mr. Dart. The Gen. Grant is a little liable to bight. This is 
its only objection. Think it should be retained somewhere. 
Mr. McHenry. My two year olds killed badly last year. 
Mr. Brimhall. Mine blighted and I would not want to set out 
any more, ; 
Mr. Storrs, It is doing well west of here and giving satisfac- 
tion. 
Mr. Pearce. “% will be thrown out after ten year’s trial. 
Mr. Latham. I move to amend to strike from all the lists. Tne 
amendment was lost by a vote of 7 for and 7 against, and the mo-
