Second list of five recommended: Fall Stripe, St. Lawrence, Perry 
Russett, Red Romanite, Willow Twig. The last variety was objected to as 
proving tender, and of poor quality in this latitude. Third list recommended: 
Sweet June, Sops of Wine, Fall Queen, Bailey Sweet, Blue Pearmain, 
Autumn Strawberry, Early Joe, Yellow Bellefieur, Northern Spy. 
Plums —In a rambling discussion on this fruit, all concurred in the opinion 
that we must often renew our trees, but can get plenty of fruit. 
Mr. Adams thought we must rely on some variety of the wild type for a 
h<>rdy, productive and reliable fruit. 
The folowing varieties were recommended for general cultivation : Lom¬ 
bard and Imperial Gage. 
Concerning the Miner plum, opinions expressed show it to be a southern 
wild plum; late ripening its chief merit. 
On motion of J. G. Plumb it was 
Resolved^ That we recommend selecting our finest native plums, anti the 
seeds of the same, and cultivating them with the view of procuring varieties 
of especial hardiness, productiveness, and of good quality. 
Crabs .—The Transcendent and Hislop Crabs were recommended for gene¬ 
ral cultivation; Soulard and Sweet Crabs for trial. Concerning Crabs a^res- 
olution was offered by Judge Knapp, cautioning the people against buying 
the Tetofsky Apple under the name of “Russian Crab ”at exhorbitant prices, 
which was concurred in.
