HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 309 



Received From J. C. Plumb, Milton, Wis., 25 Trees, Planted Mat 8, 1887, 



Donated. 



Received from F. K. Phoenix & Son, Delavan, Wis., 10 trees on 

 May 5, 1887, and planted on May 8th two of each: Yellow trans- 

 parent, Quaker Boy, Isham Crab, Martha and Child's Crab. The 

 larger part never started to grow and all died before September 1, 

 except one Martha, which showed life still in 1888, but was dead 

 in spring of 1889. It was not a fair trial. The trees looked du- 

 bious when received and must have been exposed during transpor- 

 tation. Messrs. Phoenix & Son kindly donated them to this sta- 

 tion for trial. 



Received from Chas. Luedlof, of Carver, (donated) 47 trees, 

 all or nearly all Russians. 11 Plumtrees, 4 Osthine 

 Cherries and a variety of grapevines, evergreens, Russian Acacia 

 and Pseony on May 9, 1887, and planted same on May 10 and 11. 

 I made an examination of same also on September 24, 1889, but 

 have either mislaid or lost my notes and exceedingly regret that I 

 cannot now make a satisfactory report on the lot on account of 

 snow. It was a nice lot. Stating from memory, there are about 

 30 alive and 12 to 15 doing as well as could be expected consider- 

 ing the extremely unfavorable three seasons they passed through. 

 The following are the names and numbers: 



Isham Crab, 202; Hare Pipka, Krouse No. 2; Lady Crab, Ostra- 

 koff, 472; Reichland Winter, Pres. Hayes, Duchess No. 3, Large 

 Long White, 979; Oblong Crab, German Rambon, Gibb, Sweet 

 Miron, 151; Red Teat, 975; Juicy Burr, 544; St. Peter, 372; 

 Child's Crab, Lieby, 340; Grushezka, 519; Cinnamon Crab, 322; 

 Charlamoff 262; Milton, Bogdanoff 3 grafts, Negeloff 980, Green 

 Anisette, 986; Tiesenhausen, 190; Tolotoveff, 275; Wartzapple, 

 451. The four Ostheim cherry trees did remarkably well the 

 season of 1887 but were badly trimmed off during winter 

 1887 to 1888, but nevertheless made a good growth in 1888 again, 

 but froze down to roots during the mild winter 1888 to 1889. They 

 sprouted out again during last summer and I wrapped them with 

 gunnysacks early in November last to keep rabbits off and protect 

 from cold. The plum trees are 2 Sweeney, 2 Rollingstone, 1 

 Weaver, 1 Luedloff's seedling, 2 Large Red Sweet, 2 De Sota, 1 

 Peffers premium. They have done remarkably well and seem per- 

 fectly hardy here, and but for the late frost last spring, should 

 have fruited all of them. Even the wild plum of which we have 

 numerous and large patches along Red River, has totally failed the 

 last three years.
