MINNESOTA STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



The Duchess planted for comparison, as it should be at all stations, in 

 various ages and positions, sustained its reputation for resisting blight. 

 Its seedlings, Patten's Greening and Peerless, planted two or three 

 years ago, were also very perfect. A nursery row of two year-old Peerless 

 did not show a blighted twig, while Whitney in an adjoining row showed 

 blight in about every tenth tree. White Transparent, Long Arcade, and 

 Kurskaga pear blighted almost beyond recovery. Ostrekoff 4 m, Cza's 

 Thorn, and Charlamoff blighted quite severely, Other varieties blighted 

 to a less degree as indicated in the table annexed, which also shows num- 

 bers and ages of trees. 



The leaf fungus or scab, so ruinous among the American varieties in 

 Iowa, reached to this station. All varieties of Siberian crab were affected. 

 The Briar Sweet losing most of its foliage. The Maiden Blush, Early 

 Strawberry and Minnesota were affected. The Martha crab was perfect 

 in leaf and fruit, which indicates its reputed parentage, the Duchess 

 apple. All varieties of Russian, with the Duchess and its seedlings, were 

 also perfect. 



Several Russian varieties, which showed fruit for the first time, proved 

 to have been received at this station under false names. Veronish Rein- 

 ette proved to be an Anis. Fruit of Barloff and Vargul, submitted to 

 Prof. Budd, proved to be respectively No. 579 and 32L Cross, 15 m, proved 

 to be some other unidentified variety. 



All varieties now reported as fruiting I believe to be true to name.
