Upon motion to strike the Transcendent and Hyslop from the 
list the following facts were elicited: 
Mr. Bunnel said he had traveled pretty thoroughly over Ramsey, 
Dakota and Washington counties engaged in selling trees. 
He found the question of blight a very serious one, and thought 
the trees named in the resolution should be dropped from the list 
on account of their tendency to blight. 
Mr. Pearce remarked that he thought the Transcendent the caus e 
of blight on nearly all other trees. 
Mr. Tibbetts would strike the Transcendent from the list on ac- 
count of its great tendency to blight and he also condemned the 
Orange for the same reason.
