ELEVENTH ANNUAL MEETING. 165 



Eng-lish markets. They ship in boxes. The boxes are sixteen 

 inches bv eleven by ten. Those are the dimensions of the Cali- 

 fornia apple box, and they grade their apples in three grades. 



A Member : How about the Roxbury russet ? 



Mr. Foster: That, of course, is another excellent apple. It 

 is not so long lived as the Golden russet, but the Roxbury russet 

 to-day is bringing from 18 to 22 shillings sterling, and is a 

 splendid ap])le to ship as it's practically an all-winter apple. 

 The Golden russet is a still better shipper. 



]\Ir. Sterxrerg : Of all the good points brought out by the 

 speaker, I think the most valuable one is what has been said in 

 reference to the Russet, and the Greening. I am sure that 

 some of our friends would like to know if they can get hold of 

 some old-fashioned Greening trees, and I call on Mr. Hoyt to 

 state to this meeting whether he has any in his nursery? 



AIr. Hovt: Plenty of them, and always have had. I have 

 had to burn up thousands of Greening trees while we have been 

 short of Baldwins. 



The President : Is the Committee on Nominations ready 

 to report? 



Mr. a. C. Inxis: Mr. Chairman, I did not suppose it would 

 devolve upon me to make this report, but ]\Ir. Hoyt, the Chair-
