WINTER SEEDLINGS.

Plate Seedling, F. K. Phoenix, Delavan, Wis Second 1 00 



Note — Woolsey Seedlings, Nos. 1 and 2, produced in five 

 years from seed of the Wealthy, is a fact worthy of notice from 

 your committee; and if a history of the hardiness of the trees, 

 with soil, location, exposure, habit of growth, and whether trans- 

 planted, would be furnished for publication it would be of benefit 

 to the members of the society. No. 1, the smaller of the two va- 

 rieties, in our judgment, will prove the best and largest keeping 

 variety; a good culinary apple. No. 2, the largest, is a fall apple, 

 inferior to its parent, with nothing to recommend it but size and 

 possibly hardiness of tree. 



The exhibition of Peter M, Gideon, of beautifully arranged 

 plate pictures of his new seedlings, is worthy of a passing notice, 

 and if the fruit, as far as possible, could have been placed on ex- 

 hibition, it would have added much interest to his exhibit, and 

 it is hoped he may be able in future to do so, giving us a chance 

 to judge of their merits, than on paper. We voice the desire of 

 all present that Mr. Gideon furnish a short description, as to har- 

 diness, season, quality, etc., for publication.
