142 ANNUAL REPORT. 
Mr. Fuller. The Transcendent blights. 
Pres. Grimes. Imake as much money out of my Transcen- 
dent as I do out of any other fruit. 
Mr. Brimhall. Believe the Transcendent will produce fruit 
enough to pay for the tree before any other variety. It is the ~ 
best tree for profit and the market on the list of crabs. 
Mr. Dart. You couldn’t give it away in our section, if you 
just let the people know it blighted. 
Mr. Gibbs. I move to insert, as an amendment, after the 
Transcendent, ‘‘where not liable to blight.’’ 
My. Pearce. Move as an amendment to put in ‘“‘hiable to 
blight *’ in brackets. This amendment was seconded and carried. 
by 10 for and three against. 
Power’s Large Red. 
Mr. Pearce. move that Power’s Large Red be placed on the 
list recommended for ‘‘ general cultivation.’’ The motion was. 
seconded. 
Mr. Pearce. yYhink it far superior to the Transcendent or 
Hyslop. It is perfectly free from blight, is of excellent quality, 
is a good cooking apple, and a wonderful bearer. 
The Secretary. Can’t say anything against it. My catalogue 
of varieties is imperfect; but if the tree I have in mind answers. 
to that name, I like both the tree and the fruit. 
Mr. Sias. I was the first to introduce it some 12 years ago. 
Got my trees from S. B. Parsons & Co., Flushing, New York. 
Received eight trees four years old. They began to bear the 
second year, and have borne ever since. It is as hardy as any 
Siberian. The fruit is a trifle smaller than of the Transcendent; 
it is finer grained, a better quality of fruit, and one of the best 
pie crab apples I have ever seen, and it is a more beautiful fruit. 
It is about two weeks later than the Transcendent. Is not subject. 
to blight as I know. 
Motion was made by Mr. Harris at our meeting at Rochester to. 
put it on the list for ‘‘ general ’’ cultivation. 
I shouldn’t be afraid to put it there. 
Mr. Jordon. Unless a crab apple has been nursed enough, I 
think it shouldn’t be recommended. Have seen the tree and fruit. 
every year on Mr. Sias’s ground. If the tree is generally propa- 
gated it might be put up; if not, it ought not to be raised. 
Mr, Sias. Mr. Jordon has the largest orchards in the State, 
and it is surprising to me that he hasn’t it.
