Mr.. Geo. Weir-Most OF our failures in
tree planting are caused by our own negli-
gence in exposing the roots when transplant
ing.
Mr.. Manloye-Our nurserymen grow too
many varieties, many OF them are worth
less.
Mr.. Shinn-Nurserymen are compelled
TO keep these varieties because People want
them, viii have them. / would much rather
only cultivate seeding varieties, but we
must cultivate what there is demand for
Mr. Iork-Our experience has been the
same as that Of Mr.. Shinn.
Mr.. Skeele,-We should not cultivate
worthless varieties merely for dollar, and
cents.
On motion, the chair was instructed to
appoint a committee Of one for each of the
three districts, with power to appoint assis-
tants, TO revise the fruit list, and report at
