236 [Assembly 



George the Fourth. W. R. Prince said the Early York and Red 

 Rareripe were generally grown for this variety ; and as its existence 

 was doubtful, and as it would be recommending the same peach 

 under several names, he moved that it be struck out of the list. J. 

 Lovett said the committee considered these as distinct varieties. Tho- 

 mas Hogg, senior, said that upwards of twenty years ago this peach 

 was presented by Mr. Floy to the Horticultural Society of New-York, 

 and was considered distinct from any other. J. W. Knevels suggest- 

 ed referrinfj it back to the committee. The motion to strike it out 

 was put and lost, by a vote of 23 to 17. 



Cooledge''s Favorite. J. M. Earle and R. Manning said it was lia- 

 ble to rot on the tree. Samuel J. Gustin thought it inferior to Wal- 

 ter's Early. J. M. Earle agreed with him. H. H. Crapo was oppo- 

 sed to its adoption. C. M. Hovey said it was one of the best at 

 Boston, and hoped it would not be stricken out. P. Barry remarked 

 that at Rochester it succeeded well, bore good crops, was large, fair 

 and fine flavored, and since it had been brought to notice there, was 

 much admired. Adopted. Crawford's Late adopted. 



Early Txllotson. Mr. Prince said it was so subject to mildew as to 

 be unworthy of cultivation. Mr. Hovey said that he had lately ob- 

 served the trees in Western New-York, and they were as white with 

 mildew as though a meal bag had been shook over them. He thought 

 that however fine the fruit might be, such an unsightly tree should 

 not be recommended for culture. P. Barry was asked his opinion 

 respecting it. He said that it was generally subject to mildew, and 

 in moist seasons or soils, particularly so, but that it grew well never- 

 theless. That it ripened about the same time as the serrate Early 

 York, and very superior in flavor. It was rejected. 



Bergeri's Yellow. W. R. Prince, R. Manning and others, spoke 

 highly of this variety. D. F. Manice said it was unproductive with 

 him. Adopted. 



Large Early York, or Honest John. W. R. Prince and C. M. 

 Hovey remarked that this was synonymous with George the Fourth. 



R. Manning said that his Large Early York might not be correct, 

 but it was diSerent from George the Fourth. On motion of C. M. 

 Hovey, the words " or Honest John " were struck out.
