36 THE CANADIAN lIORTICULTURlSf. 



Mr. Bucke said he had got Grimes' Golden Pippin from the 

 Association some years since, and it had grown well but had never 

 borne a crop. A graft, however, had borne well. 



Mr. Beadle remarked that Mr. Cochrane, of Liverpool, England, 

 had sent him a communication stating that English buyers preferred 

 a small, showy apple to larger fruit. 



Mr. Holton referred to the Haas apple, one of high color, handsome, 

 and a hardy grower; more especially fitted for growth in the north. 



Mr. Beadle thought the Haas was a rich, good apple; as raised on 

 a clayey loam they, were rich flavored and fairly juicy, and would 

 keep well. 



Mr. Arnold, of Paris, said that among the new and promising 

 varieties of apples he would place Cox's Orange Pippin first; tree 

 hardy, moderate grower, good bearer, and finest flavored of all desert 

 apples. Second, the Swazie Pomme Grise, tree hardy, fruit good size, 

 crisp, excellent flavor; almost equal to Cox's Pippin. Third, Arnold's 

 Beauty, a first-class grower, superior in appearance to the before 

 mentioned, and a constant heavy bearer. Fourth, the Ontario, a 

 superior apple for general cultivation, large in size, a favorite in tlie 

 kitchen and orchard, and an annual bearer. The following varieties 

 are superior to the Baldwin, though not equal to the above : Grimes' 

 Golden, Dora, Benoni, Ella, Pomme Eoyal, Moyle, and Centennial 

 Eusset. 



Mr. Bucke said the Cox's Orange Pippin was the most liked in 

 England. 



The President said it was the best apple he ever tasted. 



Mr. Morris, of Fonthill, said, for Canada the Wealthy apple was 

 entitled to the first rank among the new varieties. Another good 

 apple for all sections was the Wallbridge, a fine large red early winter 

 apple. Another good apple was the Stump, similar to and better than 

 the Sherwood's Favorite. He could indorse what had been said about 

 the Haas and other apples. 



A. M. Smith said a good variety was the Mann apple, which was 

 a good keeper and bearer, and was well adapted to sections where the 

 Baldwin could not be grown. 



Mr. Woodward, of Lockport, New York, spoke strongly in favor of 

 the Mann apple, which was grown extensively in New York State. 

 It was a profitable apple to raise in this section.
