At four o'clock, the president in the chair,
the subject of apples was resumed, and some
conversation having been had upon the Sap
sovine without definite conclusion, it was final
ly voted, on motion of d. Waldo Lincoln,
Esq, that pears be taken up for discussion.
Whereupon, at the suggestion of the presi-
dent, the list of 1862 was taken up and con-
DC Coll H.. -
Rostiezar; 3, St. Ghislain; A. Bartlett; 8,
Paradise d Automne; 6, Flemish Beauty; Z,
Louise Bonnie de Jersey; s, Seckel; 8, Shell
don; 10, Beurre d Anjou; IL, Lawrence; -,
Winter Nelis.
There was but little discussion OF this list.
A few comments, founded upon the expert
ence Of the past year, were INDUCED in, but
in no case were they such as called for an al
iteration of the list itself. Mr.. Cotton would
l OF recommend the Bartlett upon the pear;
there appeared to be a general hesitation
about suggesting the Flemish Beauty, the soil
and mode OF culture not being understood all
concurring in the opinion that Louise Bonnie
| de Jersey should grow from ounce. The
! Seckel must have high cultivation. OF the
Sheldon, d. Waldo Lincoln said that he was
one Of three who thought it was prematurely
| adopted in 1862 But his experience for the
last year had satisfied him that it merited its
place. The fruit is perfectly delicious. In
combination, John NJ. Earle remarked that
the tree is a free grower, and the fruit very
| fine. He doubted not that il would be IA
vorite pear.
OF the Winter Nelis, Mr.. d. w. Lincoln
said that if he could get any fruit he would
not object to its place on the list
1t seemed to be conceded, as a general
thing, that the list of 1862 had been substan-
TALLY affirmed by the experience of the past
season. Individuals, in particular localities,
might have failed, but the general result was
in its favor.
Voted, on motion of S. II. Cotton, support
ed by }. NJ. Earle and ID. Waldo Lincoln,
that the Glout Moroccan be added to the list
Voted. on motion of ID. w. Lincoln, that
committee OF three be appointed by the chair
to report an unlimited list of pears for further
consideration; and, if they see fit, list Of
six indispensable pears, whereupOn the presi-
dent appointed Messrs. ID. w. Lincoln, John
G. Ripley, and S. II. Cotton such committee.
Adjourned.
A meeting of the trustees being assigned for
this day, the regular meeting Of the society
will not be held, nor will the library be open
ed until March o.
