46 STATE POMOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



Mr. Taylor. That is it. 



Kennebec Russet. Mr. Gilbert. An apple that originated in 

 Kennebec county. 



Mr. Taylor. I have raised an apple called by that name, but I 

 should not recommend it. 



King of Tompkins County. Mr. Gilbert. Put down as "best" 

 for quality. Is that right? 



Charles S. Pope of Manchester. Think that a little too high 

 for quality. 



Mr. McLaughlin. "Very good," at the best. 



Mr. Taylor. It is good with us where I live. 



Mr. Gilbert. How does it compare with the Rhode Island 

 Greening ? 



Mr. Taylor. It is as good as the Rhode Island Greening. 



Mr. Pope. It is a question of taste altogether. 



F. M. Woodward of Winthrop. I think it one of the best, 



Mr. Gilbert. I think it is not giving satisfaction anywhere, 

 though it is my impression that it would stand "best" in 

 quality. 



Mr. Woodward. I have had one tree for a number of years, 

 and it has not borne very well until last year, when it bore as full 

 as a tree could. It is a very handsome apple and I consider it 

 one of the best. I should not recommend it for a market apple, 

 however, until tried further. 



Mother. Mr. Sawyer. Mr. Ingalls recommends it highly. 



Mr. Pope. It is the best winter apple we have for dessert, but 

 the tree, I think, is not very hardy — a great many poor ones. 

 Cannot recommend it for general cultivation. But I recommend 

 every one to have a few trees for his own use. 



Moody. Mr. Gilbert. An apple that came from Newburyport, 

 Mass., I think. A very good apple, about on a par with the 

 Baldwin. 



New Brunswicker . Mr. Gilbert. Grown in Aroostook exten- 

 sively, and in New Brunswick ; claimed to be a seedling of the 

 Duchess of Oldenburg, and so near like it that I cannot tell the 

 difference. The description given of the Duchess of Oldenburg 

 will apply nearly as well to the New Brunswicker. 



Naked-limbed Greening. Mr. Gilbert. Has received the very 

 highest commendation in the county of Waldo, and sections where 

 it has been introduced. Whether that is the true name of the fruit 

 is not fully determined. It is the name by which it is known in
