STATE POMOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 131 



Tioenty Ounce — Mr. Gilbert. This has been introduced through 

 New York trees to some extent. I think it stands about as it 

 should. 



Wagener. — Mr. Shaw. Does it grow large ? 



Mr. Varxey. I call it medium. 



Mr. Shaw, I have fruited a tree which I procured for the 

 Wagener, and it is small. 



Winthrop Greening. — Mr. Shaw. It stands well where I have 

 seen it. 



Mr. Gilbert. The quality is good enough, and it is known in 

 that section (Winthrop) as a good bearer. 



Winter White. — Mr. Gilbert. That was inserted at the request 

 of some one in Kennebec county. 



Mr. Pope. It is a very popular apple with a few persons in 

 Winthrop. 



Mr. Gilbert. Is it grown anywhere outside of Winthrop and 

 Hallowell ? 



Mr. Pope. I don't know of it anywhere else. 



Mr. Sawyer. Mr. Gile of Augusta presented it last year, I 

 think. Is it not probably a synonym for some other variety ? 



Mr, Gilbert. I think not. I think it was brought by the 

 Vaughns' from England. 



Mr. Sawyer. They did not bring seedling fruits ; and if they 

 brought it it has a name, and that name is not Winter White. 



Mr. Varxey. If it is a new^ fruit, we had better keep it on the 

 list and learn its name. 



Mr. Gilbert. There is no question but it is an old fruit. I 

 think we had better strike it off. 



Mr. Sawyer. If any portion of the people are growing it under 

 a wrong name we ought to retain it until we find the true name, 

 and then give this as a sjnonym. I should not want to retain the 

 Naked Limbed Greening but for that reason. 



Yellow Belljioiver. — Mr. Gilbert. " Bishop's Pippin " is a syn- 

 onym for the Yellow Bellflower. In Nova Scotia it is grown by 

 that name to a large extent, and bears fine fruit. It is grown 

 largely in the northern section of this State. What kind of soil, 

 Mr. Smith, does the Yellow Bellflower require ? 



Mr. Smith. I don't know as I can say. It has proved a good 

 annual bearer with me. 



Mr. Gilbert, I have a Yellow Bellflower on light, rather dry 

 soil, a perfect tree and perfectly healthy in all respects, and with
