MR. POTTER: I second that motion.
THE PRESIDENT: It has been moved and seconded that a committee be
appointed to consider the matter of changing the names of some of the
pecans.
A MEMBER: Isn't there a Vincennes in Europe?
THE PRESIDENT: There might possibly be more suggestions, and we should
be glad to hear from anyone along this line.
MR. REED: I agree with Professor Smith in part of his remarks. We have a
walnut called the Ontario from Greene County, Michigan. If we should
call it Michigan that would indicate where it came from. But it is
widely known now as the Ontario, and would it be best to change its
name, even though it comes from Michigan?
MR. MCCOY: Wouldn't it have been better to have called it Michigan to
start with?
MR. REED: I think so.
MR. MCCOY: We have pursued these things for many years and we have made
some misnomers in naming them. I think it's a good idea to change them.
MR. POTTER: I am very much pleased with the idea Professor Smith has
advanced for renaming these trees. They don't mean anything now as he
says, and I think it would be a great forward stride for this
association to rename these trees.
MR. SIMPSON: I think Professor Smith's idea is a move in the right
direction. We were the first people that propagated any of these
northern varieties, and my idea is to call that variety Indiana, for the
very reason he mentions here, that it distinguishes it as a northern
variety. I think his suggestion ought to be followed out as far as it is
possible. At least with several varieties.
