42 The Connecticut Pomological Society 



there was a fine exhibition of red winter apples produced in 

 the mountain regions of western Maryland. Through the 

 courtesy of the Maryland Society they are now on exhibition 

 here in the hall to-day. There are several varieties there 

 which will thrive well here and it would be worth your while 

 to look them over. 



"I believe, with Professor Gulley, that unquestionably there 

 are half a dozen of red winter apples that are better varieties 

 than the Baldwin, but we don't know it for sure, and that is 

 just where the trouble lies." 



Mr. Ives: "1 looked at some of those apples, and they 

 certainly look to be very desirable apples. They look very 

 fine, but is there any certainty that because they grow well 

 in Maryland they also would here?" 



Mr. Hale: "I believe, and I know, than any of those 

 apples that thrive well in that mountain region of western 

 Maryland at an altitude of 1,400 feet will do well here." 



Mr. Moore: 'T have been making a test of the Sutton 

 Beauty and the Baldwin this winter. I have not many of 

 either, but they were both raised in the same field, and both 

 have had equal care. I opened a barrel of Sutton Beauties 

 and a barrel of Baldwins at the same time, and I think the 

 Buttons kept rather the better. That was rather an induce- 

 ment in treating fruit if the quality is all right. In my case 

 the quality was certainly inferior to the Baldwin. My family 

 prefer the Baldwin either for cooking or eating. In cooking 

 my family found the Suttons much inferior to the Baldwins, 

 and for eating certainly." 



The President: "My experience perhaps is not worth 

 very much, but I think if I was going to set out those five 

 hundred trees I would make the first three hundred trdes 

 Baldwins, and then I would make the next hundred and fifty 

 Baldwins, and the last fifty, — I guess I would put in Baldwins." 



Mr. Hoyt: "Professor Gulley was speaking of the Jona- 

 than. The Jonathan apple I think is going to be a very 

 desirable apple. The trees bear young and fruit very pro- 

 fusely. The apple grows fast and is of a beautiful color. In the 

 orchards that bore this year the fruit was a little dull in color, but 

 I think you will make no mistake if you set Jonathan apples.
