STATE HORTICULTUEAL SOCIETY. 
The second list was then taken np, viz: Sops of Wine, Fall 
Stripe, St. Lawrence, Perry Eusset, Eed Eomanite, Yellow 
Twig, Blue Pearmain, Plumb’s Cider, Fall Orange and Yellow 
Bellefieur. 
Mr. Lawrence said he did not think very much of the Perry 
Eusset. 
Mr. Kellogg had never fruited all the kinds named, but he 
thought very favorably of them. 
Mr. Stickney asked if the Bellefleur fruited well. He had 
never seen a full crop on the tree in this state. To this it was 
replied that young trees did not bear full, but the crop increased 
with age. -A.s to the equality of the fruit it was highly spoken 
of by all present. 
Mr. Kellogg had no desire to change the list; but he wanted 
to hear something about the Blue Pearmain. 
Mr. Peffer said it was hardy with him, and he found it fruit¬ 
ing well. 
Mr. Plumb said it was a tree that would never go back on 
its owner; was always good and bore well. 
Mr. Stickney had never seen a crop of fruit on the tree, and 
was disposed to doubt its value in this state. 
Mr. Plumb said the Cid^r wa^ proving hardy all over the 
country. He had correspondence from Minnesota, stating that 
it is as hardy there as the Duchess of Oldenburg. 
Mr. Adams said it had proved highly satisfactory with him 
in northeastern Iowa, some 700 feet above the Mississippi; and 
was the best rooting tree he ever saw. 
Mr. Tuttle thought favorably of it, and it did remarkab^ 
well with him in Sauk county. 
Some discussion arose as to the true name of what has been 
disseminated as the Fall Stripe, whether it might not be the 
Sexton. All agreed they could see no difference. Mr. Plumb 
said he had traced the tree to Massachusetts, where it went un¬ 
der the name of the “English Stripe.” Mr. Willey had.pro¬ 
cured scions from central New York, in 1854, by the name of 
Sexton. All these names were considered synonymous. 
The list was passed as arranged last year.
