Mr.. Bitter reported in reference to
pears taken from this society to State
Fair. The pear numbered 2 was called
Flushing Beauty, Nos. | aud 3 were
declared to be too green to determine
their names. The apples taken was de-
clared to be white Baldwins by some
and by others Winter Shaker.
Mr.. Slusser, called attention to the
potatoes raised by Mr.. ROhrer, about
which there was dispute and said that
the potatoes produced were here and
that question had better be disposed of.
Mr.. Ruperd says they are Early Rose,
as he never had any Late Rose.
Mr.. McGTegOT asked whether the
Early Rose tends to become Late Rose
or the Late Rose to become Early ROseP
Mr.. Slusser says there is no tendency
either way.
Mr.. Slusser says the distinction be-
tween Early Rose and Late Rose is that
the Late Rose grows larger than Early
Rose. The Late Rose throws out strong
or sprouts and of peach blow color.
While the Early Rose has white sprOut.
Mr.. Wagner one year raised potatoes
called Late Rose but had got them mix
ed so that he cannot tell anything
about them.
Mr.. Lawrence has had Early and Late
Rose and found that the Early Rose
sprOuted earlier in the cellar than the
Late Rose.
Mr.. Mcdowell has tried the peach
blows by picking out white specimens
and planting them but the product was
regular peach blow.
On motion it was decided as the sense
of the society that the potatoes in ques-
tiOn is not early Rese.

Mr.. Slusser for another test.
