LIST OF APPLES.

observed that they were more numerous on some sorts than on 
others. The Golden Kusset was most affected. 
Mr. Greenman had not seen the animal, but the Golden Eus- 
set had so blighted with him that he was disposed to throw it 
out as a diseased tree. 
Mr. Adams was of the same opinion and for the same cause, 
he would now examine for the rascal. 
LIST OF APPLES. 
The first list of five hardy apples was left, as fixed upon last 
year, adding thereto the Westfield Seek-no-further, viz : E%d 
Astrachan, Duchess of Oldenburg, Fameuse or Snow, Tail- 
man Sweet, Golden Eusset. 
Mr. Stickney had objections to the Astrachan as not entirely 
satisfactory in his section of the state. His trees were nine 
years old, and did not fruit sufficiently full. Perhaps it was 
owing to their want of age, as he understood it did better when 
older. 
Mr. Tuttle’s trees came into bearing early and were perfectly 
satisfactory. The only fault he could find on that point was, 
they bore too much, even to the detriment of the trees. ’ 
The Westfield Seek-no-fuHher, which had been placed last 
year' in the list for trial, was spoken of by Mr. Plumb, who 
proposed to transfer it to the list of very hardy trees, as an 
apple that could not be dispensed with, and would be satisfac¬ 
tory to the grower. 
Mr. Smith had the tree and he considered it as very worthy 
gf the place proposed. 
Mr. Tuttle said the tree was a slow grower, bears sparsely at 
the first, and unless planted in old mucky ground it does well. 
It was, however, a better tree for all soils than the Yellow Belle- 
fleur, which was too tender in some localities. He considered 
the tree as very hardy. 
Mr. Kellogg said the Seek-no-further was more subject to 
damage in his nursery than the Bellefleur. 
Mr. Lawrence thought the Seek-no-further much ahead of the 
Bellefleurj both as a hardy and desirable tree, as well as a fruit.
