476 WISCONSIN FRUIT-GROWERS ASSOCIATION. 
St. Lawrence. —Kellogg—Promises well with me. 
Hanford—Tree good grower, not an early bearer, fruit best. 
Brayton—Tree very hardy, resembles the Fameuse in growth, 
slow in coming into full bearing, 
Willey—Is hardy, an early bearer, fruit among the best. 
Becommended for general cultivation. 
Jersey Sweeting. —Hanford—Tree does well in my locality, 
though usually considered hardy; fruit “best,” exceedingly pro¬ 
ductive, willing to replant every few years. A variety cultiva¬ 
ted in Waukesha county as “Van Vleck’s Sweet.” Is probably 
“Hog Island Sweet.” Tree more hardy, very productive, fruit 
excellent, ripens a little later, and keeps longer. 
Brayton—Harper’s Sweet appears the same as described by 
Mr. Hanford. Jersey Sweet too tender. 
Plumb—Good, but superseded by more vigorous and hardy 
sorts. 
j Rambo.* —Brayton—Tree tender. 
Plumb-Just as good in Wisconsin as East, if planted on the 
crowns of the hills where the wind blows freely, to ripen up in 
the fall. 
Fall Wine.* —Brayton-—Proved tender since the hard win¬ 
ters. 
Plumb—Excellent and productive, tree moderate grower and 
a little tender when vouim.
