Kalamazoo, which is a peach that has been well thought 

 of in Michigan for some time. 



I fruited the Greensboro peach this year. I found it of 

 good size; white, with red cheek. A long shaped peach of 

 the Old Mixon type ; a departure from the extra early 

 peach of the Alexander type. They are green inside and 

 not very good. It is superior to the Alexander type of 

 peaches although somewhat of a cling. It is earlier than 

 the Triumph by a week and would sell better. The Tri- 

 umph was a fine-looking peach; yellow, covered with red; 

 looks and tastes good, although it is a cling. 



The Belle of Georgia we have fruited a little ; it is very 

 attractive and a fine growing tree; the skin of the fruit is 

 usually clear, but somewhat subject to the spot or peach 

 scab, so far as tested by me, 



Iq the matter of berries, I have had little chance to 

 learn and will trust to some other members of the Society 

 to relate what they know about them. 



Mr. Piatt then called attention to the fine display of 

 apples in the Hall, and urged the members to give them 

 careful attention. A brief discussion followed. 



Question— Mr. Merriman: Would you recommend any 

 of these apples from New York State — like the Ben Davis 

 — for Connecticut? 



Answer — Mr. Piatt: I would recommend no apple for 

 Connecticut that was deficient in flavor. Connecticut has 

 the reputation of raising the highest flavored apples in the 

 country, and it seems to me it is letting down our reputa- 

 tion to introduce apples of inferior flavor. But people will 

 plant them and will sell them. 



Question — Mr Innis: Would you recommend planting 

 early peaches for market here in Connecticut? 



Answer: I would plant nothing of the Alexander type. 

 Don't believe I would Greensboro or Triumph, either; 

 they are both clings. 



Question: Would you plant the Early Crawford type? 



Answer: Yes; certainly. 



Question: Would you plant the Early Crawford itself?
