I must add to this list the Lawton Blackberry. 



Mr. Lawton. — I find my Black Tartarian cherry very fine. The Early 

 Richmond also ; but I think the Black Eagle is an improvement on the 

 Black Tartarian. Bloodgood's Honey cherry is fine. 



Solon Robinson. — We should get hold of that delicious grape, the Ohio 

 Delaware ; it is exceedingly rich, of a medium size, and of a rich purple 

 color. 



Mr. J. G. Bergen. — I see no tart cherry on the list. 



Mr. Pardee. — That tree is so liable to the black knot I cannot recom- 

 mend it. I have been plagued with it and found no cure. Not even by 

 cutting away branches having it on. My young trees are as liable as 

 others. 



Mr. J. G. Bergen. — We have lost our tart cherries by it. It attacked some 

 trees of near 100 years old '. It got on one of our best cherry trees, the 

 Mayduke. 



Mr. Lawton. — I like that cherry. It comes early ; is beautiful to look 

 at ; ripens nearly ten days before others ; and when fully ripe has a dark 

 color and very rich taste. 



Mr. Undca-hill advised putting on the list of good things the Governor 

 Wood cherry, named after the Governor of Ohio. 



Mr. Pardee. — Its flavor is very fine. 



Mr. J. G. Bergen. — I have watched the black knot on my farm, on 

 Long Island. I have tried to get rid of it, I could not. It is as bad as 

 the peach yellow or the Virgalieu pear crack. 



Mr. Meigs. — Has any insect been found to be the cause of it. I have 

 examined for years in vain. I have found insects in the cavities but I 

 believe they were not the cause of the knot. 



Mr. Fuller. — I always find grtLbs in the knots! 



Mr. Adrian Bergen. — We of Long Island have sustained a severe loss of 

 our pie cherries from the black knot, and we have no cherry yet, or a sub- 

 stitute for it. The knot renders the branches so brittle that they break off 

 very easily by wind, ice, snow, &c. It seems to me to be a disease in the 

 tree which all our art fails to cure, and it is getting into our other kinds 

 of chcrrv trees.
