64 THE MAGAZINE OF HORTICULTURE. 



Concord. — This was discussed at some length, but on 

 motion of Hon. Mr. Cabot, who inquired how the Society 

 could intelligently discuss its merits when nearly every mem- 

 ber was " in entire ignorance of its qualities," it was passed 

 over. 



Diana. — Every member who knew this grape highly praised 

 it, and it was adopted for general cultivation. 



PEARS ON THE QUINCE STOCK. 



A list of the pears which grow well on the quince stock 

 was then called for, and, after some discussion, the following 

 were adopted : — 



Belle Lucrative, Rostiezer, Beurre d'Anjou, Beurre Diel, 

 Duchess of Angouleme, White Doyenne, Louise Bonne of 

 Jersey, Figue, Urbaniste, Easter Beurre, Glout Morceau, 

 Pound, Catillac, Le Cure, Napoleon, Beurre d'Amalis, Beurre 

 d'Areniberg, Soldat Laborer, Beurre Langelier, Long Green 

 of Coxe, Nouveau Poiteau, and St. Michael Archange. 



Mr. Manning said the Belle Lucrative did not grow well 

 with him. We may add that neither this nor the Beurre 

 d'Aremberg will grow well more than two or three years on 

 the quince. 



CHERRIES. 



The Belle d'Orleans, Gov. Wood, New Large Black Bigar- 

 reau. Black Hawk, Great Bigarreau, Kirtland's Mary, Hovey, 

 and Ohio Beauty, were placed on the list which promise well. 



STRAWBERRIES. 



Burr's New Pine. — Mr. Lines said its only value was its 

 high flavor, and its cultivation has been abandoned in New 

 Haven. Mr. Clark of Hartford said it had completely run 

 out. In Rochester it still is considered a fine fruit, and it 

 was voted to recommend it for certain localities. 



Walker's Seedling was put on the list as promising well. 



Early Scarlet, or Virginia. — Several members thought 

 it too worthless to remain on the catalogue, but it was finally 

 retained. 



Jenney's Seedling was recommended for certain localities.
