Tenth Annual Meeting 41 



a list of what to plant for winter apples, but unfortunately I 

 left it at home. It does not seem to me that we should 

 make our list any wider than we do now as to varieties, — 

 not more than three or four for winter apples. I think we 

 have varieties that are better than Baldwin, and I should like 

 to hear some expression of opinion on that." 



Mr. Moore: "What is there that is better than the 

 Baldwin ? " 



A Member: "The Sutton Beauty." 



Professor Gulley: "No doubt that is one of them, and 

 I believe the Jonathan is going to be one of them, too. I 

 am not sure but the Rome Beauty will be one. This year 

 the Sutton has not kept well; it is all right otherwise. The 

 Sutton is just as good to eat in October as it is to-day. The 

 Jonathan is going to be a good one, and the Wagener is 

 going to be a good one. I saw some samples of magnificent 

 Wagener apples, the only ones I have seen in the state. 

 It is a good grower, and a good apple in many respects. It 

 ought to be tested by our growers to see what it will do. I 

 suppose there are others that could be brought in if we went to 

 work to see if we could find some more varieties than we have. 

 I think a little work and careful watching would bring out 

 some first-class new apples well adapted to this climate. I 

 think there are men right here in this audience who have got 

 varieties on their own lands that they know are good, but it 

 may be that they are not just the apples that are adapted to 

 New England, and it may be that they are. I don't know. 

 I wish they would speak out and tell us what they have got, 

 and give us the benefit of their experiences." 



Mr. Hale: "In answer to the question of Professor Gulley 

 as to the Western New York Horticultural Society, 1 want to 

 say that there was a long discussion there about the varieties 

 of winter apples, and more was said in favor of the Rome 

 Beauty than any other one red apple. It is of very fine form 

 and very uniform in shape. The western New York people 

 seemed to incline to the belief that it is a better keeper than 

 the Baldwin. I had rather doubted that before. I have not seen 

 it here in Connecticut, but there is no doubt it is a good apple.
