THE CULTIVATOR 
45 
American Pomological Congress. 
ITS LISTS OF SELECT FRUITS. 
Our readers will doubtless remember that the 
American Congress of Fruit Growers, more than a 
year ago, adopted a list of select fruits, 11 worthy 
of general cultivation,’'' prepared by a committee 
of nine. The list, though small, comprised all that 
the committee could then agree upon, three negative 
votes out of the nine, being regarded sufficient to 
exclude any sort. At the late meeting of the same 
body the past autumn, a considerable number were 
added; and we give below the combined results of 
these two years’ deliberations, which, though not 
wholly perfect, may be regarded as a selection by 
-the highest American authority.

The following list of Rejected Fruits, occupied 
the attention of the Congress for one entire day, 
and sentence was passed upon each sort separately. 
A single vote in favor of any sort, was sufficient to 
rescue it from this list, which is therefore the result 
of unanimous condemnation. It will doubtless be 
of essential use in preventing cultivators from pro¬ 
curing or retaining any of these worthless varie¬ 
ties .
