The committee on Fruit, Vegetables, and
Flowers, would respectfully report:
We lind but little OF either presented, owing
doubtless, to the fact that the season has been
quite unityorable 10 the rearing of these articles
The committee however, were well pleased with
the varieties shown The apples IN pagtleular-
among which werc some Of the best varieties
grown, beautiful to look upon and delicious to
the taste
The committee feel that they cannot urge too
much upon all indvduls owning plat oi lard
Al IT'S small to cultivate fruit; and they would re-
commend to those especially who car cultivate but
"iew trees, to select those varleiie. for each sea
con, that are suited to the particular soil on which
they are to he grown Trees OF full medium size
and, naturally great bearers, we believe one
bushe OF far fruit as TO quality, can be relied OF
every year,or at least, every other year are by
lar more desirable than those varieties which pro
