as one member remarked, one of the boBt sweet 
apples of ihe season. 
Esulkman, of Pa—There are two Sweet Para¬ 
dise apples, both originating in this State. There 
can be no difficulty in distinguishing them, for 
one is a summer apple, and passed at this time, 
and the other is a winter apple. 
Rai awiN, of Pa.—It is a very shy bearer on my 
place, arid I believe that to be the general charac¬ 
ter of the fruit. 
Wlmlirop Greening, or Lincoln Pippin. 
Thb President— This apple was placed upon 
the list, promising well, aix years ago. at the meet¬ 
ing of the Homological Society in Huston, on the 
motion of a gentleman of the State of Maine, 
who gave it a high recommendation as an apple 
snited to that region. I think it was placed upon 
the list rather as an act of courtesy to the State. 
I have not heard of it in any other section of the 
country. 
[This completed the list already recommended 
as promising well, and the proposal of new can¬ 
didates for this position came in order.] 
Summer Sweet Paradise. 
Lyon —The Summer Sweet Paradise T think 
should be added to the list Have cultivated it 
for several years. It is a large yellow, and a very 
fine sweet apple. 
H. E, Hooker, of N. Y.—T hope no gentleman 
will Introduce a fruit which he does not think will 
prove worthy of general cultivation. 
Batedau —T would like to knowwhethert.be 
Summer Sweet Paradise and the Autumn Paradise 
are the same apple. 
Prim OR, of N. Y.—These two names are given 
to the same fruit. 
Scott, of N. J.—The name9 are too similar if 
the fruit is different. 
Tuk President presented specimens of the fruit 
Saul, hi N. Y. — I know the apple and pro¬ 
nounce it first rate. 
Adopted as promising well. 
lien. t)nvis. 
Dr. Warder —Recommend the Ben . Daws. Do 
not wish to say much about it, but believe 
it is a variety that will yet make a noise in the 
world. If any gentleman is acquainted w ith it. I 
Earljr Jar. 
Warder.—I propose now to add to the list a 
variety with which many here are doubtless fami¬ 
liar—the Early Joe. 
Lyon.— The only fanlt with it in Michigan is 
that it is inclined to over-bear and is sometimes 
specked. 
Added to the list promising well. 
Father Al>rnhnm. 
Warder — I propose the Father Abraham. 
Itonr, of Va—It is a rather shy but regular 
heater. Keeps well, and has a rich, spicy tlavor. 
Season, late winter, Not fit to eatbeforc January, 
and lasting generally until March. Of rather 
small size. A fine grower. 
Stewart, of Ill.—It has been grown in Illinois 
for many years, and plenty ot them can he seen 
in the spring throughout the center of the State. 
Too small for a market apple and of indifferent 
flavor. 
Not added to the list. 
Willow Twig. 
Ward BP.— I propose the Willow Twig, known 
also as the Willow, or James Uivcr. A large sized 
apple, one of our best market fruits. Thousands 
of dollars have been brought hack, for years and 
years, by those who have taken this article, in large 
quantities, down tlm Mississippi. It is known all 
along the banka of the Ohio, though I believe of 
Southern origin—from Virginia—of fair size. The 
tree looks like a wilding, and is a good hearer, 
though not pretty. 
Ri.nsri,, of Pa.—It, has been kept in our neigh¬ 
borhood (Pittsburg) for two years. Pair, but not 
high flavored apple, and a great bearer. 
Stewart, of 111,—It is considered by market 
dealers ns our most valuable fruit of the apple 
species. It will keep twelve months. Hangs on 
the tree until late in the season; bears a uniform 
crop; and when properly packed will keep all 
winter, without loss. It ia salable to the last of 
Juno and about the begiuuig of July. 
Adopted as promising well. 
Umber Twig. 
Warder —l introduce the Limber Twig; an 
ugly customer, very unprepossessing in appear¬ 
ance, but, every thing said in regard to the Willow 
Twig,—its keeping qualities, &a,—may he said of 
this fruit. Like it, it may be culled a spring apple. 
Stkei.h, of iV, IThe Limber Twig has not the 
flavor of some other apples, hut it is an excellent 
keeper, hardy and productive, will grow at a level 
of HO degrees above tide-water. 
Rory, of Vn.—The Limber Twig is considered 
one of our bent, winter appLs for keeping, and a 
regular bearer. If kept too dry it becomes spongy. 
Berikman‘ 9, of Liu—It is one of the greatest 
winter apples we have. 1 have frequently found 
it, in the markets of CbBrlowtou uml Augusta. I 
have Been It Bound in the months of April and 
May, which is pretty good evidence that it is a 
good keeping apple. 
Taylor, of Va,—I have had it in Virginia, and 
know that in grown very well in Illinois. The 
great objection to it ia its property of getting 
spongy, during the winter months. You will not 
find it plump and souud in the spring. If you 
store it away on the floor of a room, or like place, 
it will dry up and wither. It, requires to he laid 
on the ground for preservation. 
Roby—W e keep it in sand, in which material 
it is well preserved. The tree bears well. 
Added to the list promising well. 
Kniiniti. 
Stkici.k, of N. 0.—I present,an apple—a seedling 
of one of the central counties of North Carolina, 
and ilrst named by tlm genth inun who raised it, 
Magnum Ronum. The tree is hurdy, a good 
grower, and productive. There is no hotter apple 
this season of the year. 
Hour, of Va.—It i*one of our best winter apples. 
Tlnncaif a.vn—J n GoorxiaH is not a winter ;i nnlii. 
Batkiiam.—I was required by the Chairman of 
the Fruit Committee, at. the Slate Homological 
Meeting of Ohio, to present the names of twelve 
winter apples, and I had to put the names of the 
White Pippin at the head of the list. I do not 
expect to find a better winter apple than this. It 
ia so good that I could not recommend half a 
dozen varieties without including it. We have 
been greatly puzzled in Central Ohio to know 
where it came from. It is supposed that it was 
brought from Eastern Pennsylvania or New Jer¬ 
sey, under certain names. It, much resembles the 
Newtown Pippin, and is every way profitable. 
Sooi't, of N. J.—There is an apple in our nur¬ 
series which answers tho description given by 
Mr. Bateluun. 
Quinn, of N. J,— I think it is the same as the 
French Pippin. 
Reed, of N. J,—The French Pippin is cultivated 
very extensively in New Jersey. 
Downing.—T he White Pippin is a very fine ap¬ 
ple, but distinct from the French Pippin. 
Added to the list, as promising well, 
Mexico Apple. 
Tkowbridor, of Conn.—I introduce tho Mexico 
Apple. It Is a very superior, rich applet ripe in 
September. Exceedingly popular in Conn, 
Downing. — It is a good, pleasant apple. Tnonr 
classification, I call it very good. In Connecti¬ 
cut, around Brookfield, there is no apple liked so 
well. It is an early September apple and the nur¬ 
series there cultivate it and have it in thir cata¬ 
logues as one of the finest apples. 
Not added to the list 
Pryor’s Hod. 
Warder,— l introduce the Pryor’s Red. 
Taylor. —It originated In Virginia and is cul¬ 
tivated throughout tho South, lias a rather ten¬ 
der skin, liable to a little rupture In the keeping, 
used to mid-winter and spring. 
Batiuiam.—T hat apple [ have Been very often 
in southern end south eastern Ohio, and have been 
much ph ased with it. But. a serious complaint 
brought against, it in the blight of the tree. It 
seems to be particular in regard to location, as it, 
Is liable to become diseased, on being planted in 
uncongenial soil. Along the Ohio it does very 
finely. But I would not recommend it to my 
friends or customers for general planting. 
Taylor, of Va.—It, is one of the hardest trees 
to graft, in many attempts at the process beingun- 
succi sslul. 
Kory. — fn southern Virginia it ia considered of 
very line flavor, though a tardy bearer, and apoor 
one after It commences. 
Warder—V nee six years old nm.l hearings 
bushel, 1 do not call a tardy hearer. These ob¬ 
jections have been made and may he made still, 
lint, it is so well known, go long established In and 
nut, of Vlrvnii t, that I think wo might safely put 
it on the list of promising well. It is one of the 
institutions of th« Ohio Valley. 
Barry.—I n aonio places it hears a very high 
reputation, and in those places will still be culti¬ 
vated whether included in this list or not. I 
think it as much entitled to a place on tho list as 
promising well as some others wo have placed 
there. 
Bvram, of Ky.—Twenty years ago that apple 
was one of the most popular apples in the West¬ 
ern country, hut for the last lew years it has be¬ 
come so blighted, that nurserymen have generally 
ceased to grow If, It is an excellent apple but 
blights very much in Kentucky from tho rusting 
of the leaf, 
1' i 1 , 1 .hr, of N. Y.—It is much valued south and 
west, and I move it bo added on the list that 
promises well. 
Stkwakt.—F or the last 15 years it has been 
considered a valuable variety, not liable to be 
blighted by any disease. 
Added to the list promising well. 
Winter 
Warder. — I am very sorry I cannot find a 
specimen of what Is known through the South¬ 
west, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri, as 
tho Winter Queen, Kentucky Green, Frankford 
Queen; and, Is also known In Southern Ohio aH 
the Fall Queen and Queen, it much resembles 
the Buckingham, though diff-rently colored, be- 
nrtd it is very strange that it has not previously 
been before the Society. We have this fruit in our 
latitude, very fine for cooking. 
Downing —It Is only' a good cooking apple. 
Nadu—I t is one of the best cooking apples. 
Batmuam —We want an apple at that season of 
the year just like this. It is one of the best cook¬ 
ing apples, up 1 1 I wonder that it is not In every 
household collection. The applo is of a light 
yellowish color. 
Recommended as promising welt. 
[Mr. Batbiiam said that this, as well as some 
others recommended ns promising well, being 
old apples, reminded him of tho necessity of a 
change of tho heading of the list; and ho sug¬ 
gested that instead of *• New Varieties that Prom¬ 
ise Well,’* the “New" should bo stricken out, 
which was agreed to.] 
It ratIo's Janette. 
Warmer—I recommend the Rawle’s Janette as 
promising well. 
Batrham—I t does well in Central Ohio, on 
good land, but south of that section it is diminu¬ 
tive, 
Eshlkman—T planted trocs eight years ago. 
They are now falling, and the fruit ia small. 
Stewart— It succeeds well at, tho West, and is 
popular, the specimens being large and fine. 
Roby, of Va.—Ht is one of tho best of apples, 
and ia a good hearer. It. blooms two weeks after 
most, other varieties, and always gives a crop. 
Bkrokmans—I ts quality is second rate, but it 
is a never-tailing bearer. 
Taylor, of Va.—For rich soils it is proved to 
he valuable, hut in stiff soils and dry pluccs it is 
of but very little account. 
Buist— I have grown this apple, and think it 
very inferior for the North. Ju tho South it suc¬ 
ceeds better. 
Htkblk— 1 have known this apple since I wa 3 
a boy. It is cultivated over the Valley of tho 
Ohio, and in Carolina. Those who think it a 
very small apple are much mistaken about it, for 
I have seen specimens gtuw to a very large size; 
hut I am ru-t one of those individuals who be¬ 
lieve that every big apple must be of good qual¬ 
ity. It is a pretty good apple as raised in certain 
sections of North Carolina. 
Noble, of l*a.— I have fruited this apple for 
the lust four or five years, and think well of it. 
The trees seetu rough, but the apple keeps well 
with dip. 
Not adopted as promising well. 
Unwilioi-nden. 
lluVRY, of Mass.—I present tho Hawthornden. 
It is an apple well adapted to general cultivation. 
Barky— l think well of it. 
Lyon—D oes well in Michigan. 
Downing— Good lor cooking, but not first rate 
for eating. 
Bust— A beautiful yellow apple, good for 
market, good foe cooking, and for eating. 
Guiscom— It has done well In New Jersey. 
Lyon — I was surprised to seo it, two years ago, 
placed upon the rejected list. It ia an oblong, 
yell >w-eolored apple, with u red cheek; produces 
abundantly; a good market apple uud a good 
cooking apple. 
Hovky —Objections have been mmlo to apples 
not bearing for fen years. Now the Hawthornden 
will hear in two or three years. Gentlemen 
owning gardens may have the Hawthornden in 
them on accnant Of its small size. When afoot 
high, it will hear several apples, and we can have 
it in our garden tho size of a currant hush. It 
is 000 Of the best and handsomest apples, and 
appears to me to have all the qualities necessary 
for general cultivation. 
Hooker —I hope that apple will never get on 
the list that promise wuli. There is no richness 
about it; made of mere water. Nobody wants 
to eat It. It. Is a, sure hearer, and productive. 
Newham,—I cultivated the apple for a number 
of years. It is a great, hearer and very beautiful. 
I never could get any of my family to eat it, 
though it sometimes Hells pretty well. 
Warder— I have hardly heard of an applo 
AMERICA! POMOLOGICAL SOCIETY, 
After the delivery of the Annual Address by 
the President, the Committee appointed to recom¬ 
mend suitable officers for the ensuing year, made 
their report The only change which the Commit¬ 
tee recommended, was that of Secretary, the Horti¬ 
cultural Editor of the Rural being nominated iu 
place of the present incumbent All the other 
officers of the Society being recommended for 
re-election, this change was resisted by the friends 
of the Secretary, on the ground that it was a 
direct censure upon that officer, and a motion 
was made to amend, so as to retain the old officer, 
which, after several trials, some discussion, and a 
little “noise and confusion,” was declared to be 
carried. So the officers stand as last year. 
8EC0ND DAY—MOUNTING SEBSION. 
According to the recommendation of the Presi¬ 
dent aDd of the Business Committee, the Society 
had agreed not to revise the list of fruits recom¬ 
mended for General Culture, at this session, and 
proceeded at once with 
APPLES RECOMMENDED AS PROMISING WELL.

Passed without discussion. 
Ilnckingliain- 
Several gentlemen Inquired if the Bunkum was 
the same variety. 
Dr. Warder, of Ohio— It is the same, and is 
called Bunkum in North Carolina aud Winter 
Queen in Virginia. 
Coggswell. 
Passed without comment 
Fornwaldcr. 
Dr. Warder — I think it might as well he 
stricken from the list 
Mr. Butter, of Pa.—I view it as one of the 
finest of apples. It bears very well. Have 125 In 
hearing. The fruit sells higher than almost, any 
other sort. They arc large and keep well. Had 
them fine In April lust Not. equal in quality to 
some others, but does well in Eastern Pennsylva¬ 
nia. 
Mr. Bai.dwin, of Pa.—I agree with Mr. Rutter 
in regard to its hearing qualities. It is a desira¬ 
ble sort—just such as we want. 
Genesee Chief. 
Dr. Warder—I think it Bhould be taken from 
the list promising well. It comes at a season 
when we have many other and better sorts. It ts 
a large, coarse apple, well enough for cooking, 
but with little flavor besides its acidity. 
Mr. Barry, of N. Y.— If we ri ji-ct this I think 
we should reject many others that are now on the 
list It is one of the largest apples we have, and 
when ripe in of very supeitui quality, it is . ..t, 
only a «u® i,,,,l;..^ fruit, but a good eating apple. 
Mr. Harrison, of Pa.—With me it i3 one of the 
best ot 15 or 20 varieties which I have grown.

our best apples. 
Stewart, of Ill.—Cannot say much in favor of 
its quality. 
Not recommended. 
Strodo’s liirinlnglinDi. 
Hotter.— I wish to call attention to a fine ap¬ 
ple from Chester Co., Pa., Strode’s Birmingham. 
We think it superior to the Porter. It is a lino 
bearer and a good market fruit It has more acid 
than the Porter. 
Downing.—I have this apple in full bearing. 
It is about two-thirds tho size of the Porter, hut 
not, half us good. 
Esin, eman. — Wo think we known something 
about apples in Chester county, and when tho 
Porter and Strode’s Birmingham are in competi¬ 
tion, the committees of exhibitions find very 
little difficulty iu awarding tho premium to the 
latter. 
Not reoommended. 
Ohio Pippin. 
Warder.—I introduce an apple which com- 
memoratea a departed friend. It is known by 
several names—tho Ernst Pippin, the Ohio Pip¬ 
pin, and tho Shannon Pippin of Arkansas. I 
know of no other synonyms. Tho apple origin¬ 
ated in Dayton, Ohio; is of largo size, somewhat 
round in form, of a pale yellow color; good for
