98 ANNUAL REPORT. 
Horticultural Literature. 
Mr. Gibbs. I was thinking whether it wouldn't be better to 
appoint different committees for the different parts of the address. 
There is enough for one committee on the Dissemination of Hor- 
ticultural Literature alone. Move that the committee be requested 
to pay particular attention to this part of the address. 
Motion was seconded and carried. 
Mr. Harris. Would like to ask where we are to get this liter- 
ature for distribution. We must have some before we can distri- 
bute it. I very seldom see a word in papers from any of our 
Minnesota horticulturists. 
Mr. Gibbs. I intended my motion to have reference to the 
getting of this literature, and then devising means of dissemina- 
tion. 
The Secretary. Under this title, horticultural literature, I 
understand our transactions, publications, &c. 
Mr. Harris. understand by herticultural literature all that 
which is connected with horticulture. I think if we could 
publish all the wise things said and written in our meetings, and — 
spread it among the people, we would do much good. Our 
transactions reach but few farmers, and only a few farmers take 
the time to read the articles in the papers they get, and many 
don’t get any paper at all. But if we could induce some one to 
collect our wise sayings and doings and publish them, I think we 
would reach more people. I am not a writer and couldn’t do the 
work, but we have plenty of men that could. 
Doministe Apple. 
Mr. Jordon. Would like to ask whether any one here has 
grown the Russian apple called Doministe, or whether any one 
knows anything about it. 
Nobody seemed to know it.. The Doministe was on exhibition. 
Untried Varieties. 
The Secretary. I suggest we hear the report of the Committee 
on the Purchase of Untried Varieties of Fruits and Plants at 
Fancy Prices. 
Mr. Harris. That report is not ready, but will try to get the 
committee together, and have the report ready by to-morrow.
