Professor F. C. Sears, of Amherst 

 Mass., Professor G. E. Rowe, of Michi- 

 gan, and Professor Wilbur K. Newell, 

 of Oregon. After a very interesting 

 discussion, Messrs. G. E. Rowe, of 

 Michigan, Martin Burrell, of British 

 Columbia, and W. K. Newell, of Ore- 

 gon, were appointed a committee to draft 

 a resolution in accordance with the ex- 



pressed opinions of the convention. The 

 following is the committee's report. 



"In the opinion of your committee 

 there are many changes that should be 

 made in the rating of varieties given by 

 the American Pomological Society, and 

 we recommend that the next meeting of 

 the American Pomological Society ap- 

 point a new committee to revise the rat-

ing, making a double rating, basing it 

 upon quality and commercial value as 

 found in the localities or districts where 

 the varieties are grown to the highest 

 state of perfection. We also recom- 

 mend that each apple-growing district o.n 

 the continent that has a local society be 

 requested to make recommendations re- 

 garding ratings of apples grown fo per- 

 fection in their respective districts to the 

 American Pomological Society at its next 

 meeting, in order that the new committee 

 that Avill undoubtedly be appointed may 

 have proper data at hand to assist them 

 in their very important work. 



"Your committee also recommend that 

 amongst other changes should be the 

 "'following: That Mcintosh Red be raised 

 to 8-9, Winesap to 9, Northern Spy to 



10, and Baldwin to 6-7. (Signed) G. E. 

 Rowe, Martin Burrell, W. K. Newell." 



Competition in the different classes 

 was very keen. The great interest mani- 

 fested by the growers fully compensates 

 the promoters of this first show, and 

 assumes the success of future undertak- 

 ings. A partial list of the prize winners
