“* For Amateurs and Pumologists.”’ 
Pres. Grimes read the list recommended for trial by amateurs 
‘and pomologists, and asked whether any one was desirous of 
striking out.or adding any. 
Mr. Harris. I move that we add the Giant Swaar to it. The 
»motion was-seconded and carried by five for and none against. 
Mr. Jordon. Examined my trees of the Hotchkiss Greening 
-Jast week and.they were doing well, andI think it will be a good 
‘tree. I move that we add this variety to the list reeommended 
for ‘‘trial by amateurs and pomologists.’’ The motion was 
carried by 10 for and none against. 
Mr. Emery... I move that the Winsted Pippin be added to the 
-same list. The motion was carried. by 9 for and none against. 
Varieties for Top-Grafting. 
Mr. Gibbs. I move, if there are no objections, that another 
-elass be made and recommended “‘ for top-grafting on the crabs.’”’ 
The motion was seconded and carried by 14 for and none against. 
Mr. Dart. A great number of classes or lists will tend to con- ° 
fusion and defeat the object of those lists. I move that the chair 
appoint a committee to report, immediately on the opening of 
the evening meeting, a list suitable for top-grafting on the crabs. 
The motion was carried, and Messrs. Jordan, Sias and Gibbs 
appointed such committee; but Mr. Gibbs was excused, according 
to his wish, and Mr. Martin Cook appointed to take his place. 
The Secretary, Is it the intention of the society that Plumb’s 
Cider be stricken from our lists? By the action of last night it 
was, probably unintentionally. 
Plumb’s Cider—Price’s Sweet—Saxton. 
It was moved and seconded that Plumb’s Cider, Price’s Sweet, 
and Saxton be placed on the list recommended for ‘‘ favorable 
localities in southern portions of the State.’’ The motion was 
carried by 12 for and 2 against. 
Mr. Eldridge. My Plumb’s Ciders have done favorably for the 
past few years. 
Transcendent. 
Mi. Emery. I move the Transcendent be stricken from the 
list recommended for general cultivation. 
The motion was seconded.
