MI. Mcpherson thinks the fruit
coed, but the tree tender. Fruit an
equal as to size.
MI. Masters.-With this variety the
limbs are inclined to drOop, and adj
vises top grating instead of root graft
ing.
White Winter Pedrmdin.-Mr. Brat
ton considers this a number one vari-
ETY. in all responsibilities fruit than
Belle Flower.
MI. Masters agrees with Mr.. Brat
ton.
Mr.. Hollingshead-If 1 have the
true White Winter Pearmain, it is
very tender, and kills down to the
ground.
MI. Beaverthinks ITO selection COM
plete without it. Not, however, as
hardy as some other varieties; is not
inclined to over bear, and is regular.
Michael Henry Pippin.-This vari-
ETY. was presented for name, and de-
cided to be as named. Mr.. Beaver
thinks this q fair specimen, and
recommends it for cultivation. Has
noticed some scabby fruit, but not in
this State.
Mr.. Masters has had no experience
with it, but thinks favorable of it.
Fail OrGRge.-Mr. Masters presen-
ted for testing some fine specimens
weighing fourteen ounces, and said
the tree is a fine grower, and good
bearer with me; is inclined to drop its
fruit from half-grown until ripe; is
good for cooking from h~alf-grOwn /;
its principal objection is, its size o
than is needed for one meal; flesh is
rather coarse, but rich and l%ucious.
So the testers say.
DIR. Mcpherson thought if it wastoO
large to eat all at once, its good quality
would justify in laying away until
you get apple hungry again.
All decided it a superb apple, and its
general cultivation recommended.
ESopuS SpitzenJcrg. Mr.. Masters
considers the fruit as the best; the
tree not hardy, however, and should
be "dOuble worked"
All present decided the specimens
tested very fine.
Rome Beduy.-Mr. Bratton had
not tested it before thinks it properly
named, and if hardy, would be a de-
sirable variety.
Mr.. Masters, who raised it, says the
tree with him is tender; will only do
when top grated. 1.-The quality.of the
fruit is fine.
DOminee:-Mr. Bratton-This tree
has been very generally sold in this
county, and has done well the trees
have borne early, fruited well and
given general satisfaction.
Mr.. Smith-With me the tree is
hardy, a good healthy grower and the
fruit fine. !
Mr.. Beaver agrees with all that has
been said in regard to this apple.
MI. Masters ElOst some trees, but
it was because of over richness
Of the ground recommends it.
A large red apple presented as Ga
brieL, was here tested and decided
not correctly named. 1t was a good
apple, resembling externally the Ga
Jriel, butsubmitted to the knife, found
to be something else. The Society
was unable to name it.
Red Cdnddd.-Mr. Masters finds it
10 be a good apple good keeper, har-
iy and Of fine flavor; tree, slow grow
er, but all in all, one of our best or
hard varieties. Slow growing trees
IRE inclined to bear solid apples.
FdtOn.-An apple presented by Mr..
Alderman for name, and decided to
De the Fulton.
Mr.. Beaver regards it as one of the
knows more about it than any
variety. Was brought into no
ice near Canton, ILL.,, about 1910, anc
have found it i'm all respects number
me. Is perfectly hardy, both fruit
md tree. It's quality-those present
Who have tested it, will testify.
Mr.. Masters has trees growing but
has not yet fruited it. Regards it asa
variety.
Mr.. Furnas, of Nemaha, planted ont
he graftsin 1858, from which the fruit
lere exhibited came. The trees have
lone well and given general satisfac-
