THE GENESEE FAEMER. 128 



Mr. PnffiNix has fruited it several yeai-s, esteems it highly— yery productive— would plant it in a 

 collection of six varieties in his locality. , . n ^ , -n * •*. n *. 



Mr. McWnoRTER— It« flavor is exceedingly delicate, of tender texture. Esteems it an excellent 

 fruit. Passed as recommended by Committee." 



With US the Autumn Strawberry is a crisp, juicy, high flavored fruit, uniformly fine. 



We think it bids fair to be worthy of very general culture. We are glad to hear such 



favorable reports of it from the west. , . i. , 



Siveet Nonsuch, (local name.)— From the general tenor of remarks made by several 



cultivators, this seems to be a hardy, vigorous, productive, sweet baking apple. 



Monarch.— ^Q received this apple several years ago from Mr. J. A. Lazell, of Co- 

 lumbus, Ohio, and it has borne regular abundant crops of large, very beautiful and 

 and " good" fruit. The following remarks were made concerning it: 



"Dr Pennington has fruited it several years ; tree a rapid grower, good, though not a prolific 

 bearer," has been, with him, profitable— knows no early apple of its season superior— would recom- 

 mend to bud or 'stock-graft, tender root-grafted. t. • r vi \. -a a „ 1,0 = 



Mr Bellangee received it from Oliio as Monarch Sweet. It is of an agreeable sub-acid flavor, has 

 ripened last of August, in use through September. A beautiful fruit, sells readily at good prices in 



market. . ,/■ • r > d; i. 



Mr. Avert considers it far superior to Maidens mush. 



Mr. S. M. CoE has proved it an early bearer." 



Fall Pijypin.—WQ have been anxious to know how this famous apple would adapt 

 itself to the soil and climate of the west. The following remarks give unfavorable in- 

 dications : 



"President had it bear plentifully; soil with considerable clay. 



Mr. Finley's experience ditto ; soil alluvial. , , 1 • -i „i„„ 



Cyrus Bryant— Trees planted in 1837, have never borne a dozen apples in a season ; soil, clay 

 loam ; hopes Hawley may supersede it. 



Mr. McWhorter has seen a few trees bearing well. ^ r. a 



Mr WiLLiAMS-Where stock budded or grafted, has seen it bear well has several trees root-grafted 

 12 years old, have never borne but little. Believes the different modes of propagation a subject of 

 or At imnortance to fruit cultivators in the "West. „ , ., , 



^ Mr ZmT-^Tt bears profusely in Northern Indiana, generally root-grafted ; soil oak opening, 



Mr Avery has five trees planted in 1840 ; had first good crop this year say five bushe s in all ; 

 soil -ood prairie. Would value one tree of Kamho or Rawles' Janet worth seven of Fall Pippin 

 Belmont also superior, and Fall Wine is generally preferred to it." 



The difference between the success of Mr. Loomis, in Indiana, and that of the other 

 gentleman in Illinois, is vwy striking and worth further inquiry. 

 " Red 6^i/;i/oi(;er.— Recommended for further trial in the west. 



Yellow Bellflower.— Recommended for general cultivation, by a vote of 12 to 11, 

 (other members not voting,) "to be budded or stock-grafted," instead of root-grafted ; 

 the general impression being that it does not succeed well root-grafted. 



Dominie.— AW spoke well of its quality and productiveness, and it was passed as 

 " very good for general cultivation." t r ■ a 



Rawles' /ancL— Generally considered productive, and varying in quality from good 

 to very good according to locality, exposure, &c. We apprehend that like om Spy it 

 needs a full exposure to the sun to bring out its excellence. Nothing said of the best 



mode of propagating it. . -, • ^ ^ 



Winesap.— Only alluded to by two speakers, and they pronounce it productive and good. 

 Willow Tt^i^.— Passed without discussion. This is one of the best long keepers of 



Vl^^awflier.— Known also in the west as Mountain Pippin, Tulpehocken and Pound 

 apple. Highly recommended by three speakers, and passed as good for general cultiva- 



Wliite Winter Pmrmaw.— Unanimously pronounced valuable and productive.— 

 Passed as best and recommended for general cultivation.
