132 STATE POMOLOaiCAL SOCIETY. 



the best cultivation I can give I cannot get a bushel of apples from 

 it in a season. 



Mr. Varxey. Pile some clay around it. 



Mr. Gilbert. The question arose in my mind whether it did not 

 require a soil similar to that which produces the Roxbury Russet. 



Mr. Shaw. I have a tree of that variety that stands in a swale, 

 and it is completely loaded with fruit every other year. The soil 

 is deep and heavy. 



Yellow Nexoloxon Pippin. — Mr. Sawyer. At Chicago there was 

 considerable discussion as to the two varieties, Yellow and Green. 

 Mr. Barry of Rochester, N. Y., and Mr. Ilovey of Massachusetts, 

 pronounced them the same. Some others said otherwise. Some 

 one else said that the Green was not as good as the other. It is 

 the same as the Albemarle Pippin. There is no doubt as to the 

 quality of the Yellow Newtown Pippin, that it is one of the best 

 apples grown. 



Mr. Gilbert. I think in this State it is not a good bearer. It 

 is a very excellent shipping apple from its firmness, which enables 

 it to bear handling. 



The lists of other fruits were taken up and considered briefly, and 

 the following changes were made : 



Native Grapes — Blackhaxok added. 



Cherries — Governor Wood, Early Purple Guigne and Belle 3Iag- 

 nifique, added. 



Quinces — Orange and Angers added. 



Messrs. Charles S. Pope, Henry Ingalls and Joseph Taylor were 

 appointed a committee to prepare a list of fruits for amateur culti- 

 vation, and to report the same at a future meeting. 



The report of the Corresponding Secretary was presented, and 

 ordered to be published in full with the transactions. 



Voted, That the thanks of the Society be tendered to the City 

 Government of Lewiston, for the facilities afforded for holding this 

 meeting ; also to the Lnvislon Journal for full daily reports of the 

 proceedings ; to the Press of the State generally, for publication 

 of the programme and other notices ; to the Maine Central and 

 Knox & Lincoln Railroads for their liberal concessions in respect 

 to fares of persons attending this meeting, and to the essayists and 

 speakers who have furnished papers and addressed the Society. 



Adjourned sine die — the evening session being omitted on ac- 

 count of the inclemency of the weather.
