I have, un^er these four varieties, listed some fifty-five sub¬ 
varieties of oranges of those in general cultivation having 
commercial merit, for many of the so-called varieties so nearly 
resemble each other that an expert can not possibly tell them

After the reading of the above Prof. J. H. Webber said: I 
notice Mr. Hubbard gives possessive names of the different 
varieties. One of the rules of the American Pomological So¬ 
ciety is that we should not use possessive names in naming 
fruits, and according to that rule Mr. Boone has changed the 
name of his variety to Boone. 1 merely make this as a sug¬ 
gestion. 
Replying, Mr. Hubbard said: In listing these names I 
have given them as they are listed by the nurserymen. In 
cataloguing these fruits the society can take any action it 
chooses.
