Rock; the apples have been kept till March, and still sound; tree 10 or 11 
years old; came up of itself; has borne 3 years; the winter of ’73 and *4 
injured it a little on the south side, but is now thrifty, and seems to be 
doing well, Mr. J. showed me some cottonwoods and soft maples that 
were injured the same winter like the apple tree. These light-colored 
apples are the same kind that I took to the winter meeting in Rochester, in 
1878, and was named Clara; the tree is 13 or 14 years old, and has never 
been injured yet. I have kept the fruit till May. The tree is an upright, 
rather slow grower, and has borne five years. 
These apples were raised by my brother, A. A. Day, and were brought 
here for a name. Does not know whether they are seedlings or not. 
I have seen the fruit of a seedling called the Myers’ seedling, raised not 
far from Hastings—have not seen the tree. The fruit is a large fair apple. 
cannot say as to its hardiness. 
I am promised specimens of the fruit of the three first-named trees for 
exhibition at our next meeting. All which is respectfully submitted. 
DITUS DAY. 
REPORT OF MESSRS. GOULD AND FULLER. 
Mr. Gould had made no report because although he knew of trees 
of some age, they had seen no winter to test their hardiness. He 
made some remarks, however, upon some trees with which he 
was acquainted, and a motion was made and carried that these 
remarks be put in writing for the Transactions. 
EXCELSIOR, MINN., May 7th, 1880. 
Deak Sir: Your card in reference to report on seedlings to hand, in reply 
1 would say that owing to the uncertain condition of trees after the severe 
winters, and at the time report should have been made, it would be as well 
or better to let the matter rest until next winter’s meeting. Am sorry if I 
have caused any delay. 
Truly yours. 
F. G. GOULD. 
Mr. Fuller had no report to make because of absence from home 
when observations should have been made. 
REPORT OF MR. PEARCE, 
Mr. Pearce reported verbally on the Kimball and Claysen, and 
promised to write a report for the Transactions. 
MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., May 2d, 1880. 
Report of M. Pearce, one of the Committee on Seedling apples. 
At the meeting of the State Horticultural Society I made a 
verbal report of a few seedlings and was requested to reduce those 
rmarks to writing for publication, I will endeavor to do so.
