198 THE CONNECTICUT POMOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



President Gold : Any remarks ? The amendment is 

 that we send a copy of these resolutions to the President of 

 the United States, and to each of the four Postmaster- Gen- 

 erals, that is, the Postmaster-General and his assistants, I 

 suppose. Those in favor of the motion will signify by saying 

 "Aye." Contrary minds, "No." It is a vote. The amend- 

 ment is adopted. The question is now on the passage of the 

 original motion. Any further remarks? Those in favor of 

 passing this resolution signify it by saying "Aye." Contrary 

 minds, "No." It is a vote, and the resolutions are passed. 



We will call on the Committee on New Fruits to make 

 its report, Mr. John R. Barnes, Chairman. 



Mr. Smith : Mr. Chairman, Mr. Barnes said that he 

 might not be able to be here this afternoon, and he left the 

 report with me in case it was called for. 



President Gold : We would be glad to hear the report. 



Mr. Smith: As a member of this Committee I am not 

 satisfied with the part I had in making up this report, from 

 the fact that I did not know that I was on the Committee until 

 recently. No notice has ever been given me by this Society, 

 so I feel like apologizing for any part that I had in it, be- 

 cause it is entirely, or to a great extent, the work of Mr. 

 Barnes. The most important part of it has been written by 

 Mr. Barnes, who was the Chairman of the Committee. 



Report of Committee on New Fruits. 



Your Committee has not a long list of fruits to report 

 upon this year and many of these are not new in the strict 

 sense of the word, but are comparatively new in this locality 

 and to the majority of the members of this society. 



Among apples, we would mention Opalescent, which is a 

 promising apple ; its season is early winter ; is large in size, 

 fine in quality, with a beautiful waxey skin like the Mcintosh,
