264 ANNUAL EEPORT. 



President Smith. This is not for general planting. 



Mr. Sias. They can get cions if they cannot get trees; I have 

 no trees to sell. 



Mr. Grimes. I want to see those valnable Russian varieties 

 brought out as speedily as possible. But I do not want to have 

 the society mislead the public by leading them to believe that 

 the trees can be had when they cannot. 



Mr. Underwood. Would you have the society wait until the 

 nurserymen had millions of trees? 



The Lieby was adopted for trial by a vote of eleven for, none 

 against. 



Mr. Latham moved to place the Swan apple on the list. He 

 said that he had it growing beside the Lieby and the fruit is full 

 as large. It is IS'o. 370 of the Russians. The motion was adopted 

 by a vote of eleven for, none against. 



Mr. Pearce moved to recommend the Little Seedling. The 

 motion was adopted, nine for, none against. 



Mr. Tuttle. I want to say aword in regard to the Little Seed- 

 ling; it is one of the best keepers we have found among the Rus- 

 sians. The tree seems to be perfectly hardy and is a great bearer. 

 I find the Little Seedling, or Repka, seems to be a different ap- 

 ple in some hands from that of mine. I think it will be one of 

 the apples that will be worthy of general cultivation. 



Mr. Peterson. There is a different kind from Mr, Tuttle's 

 and I don't know as anyone has the Little Seedling but myself. 

 There were samples of it at the meeting last year. The apple 

 that Mr. Tuttle has is a good eating apple, but the one I have is 

 good for cooking and it keeps for a whole year. They are not 

 the same kind that he recommends. 



Mr. Smith moved to place the Longfield on the list. He 

 thought it one of the best. 



The motion was adopted; fourteen for, none against. 



Mr. Sias. I wish to inquire of Mr. Tuttle if he has fruited 

 the Orange Streaked 1 



Mr. Tuttle. That is a fall apple. There are so many of that 

 class, or of that season, that I think it not best to recommend it. 

 The Hibernal is a good cooking apple ; I should select that in 

 preference to almost anything else, for it will grow where any- 

 thing else will. 



The Hibernal was placed on the list for trial by a vote of 

 thirteen for, none against.
