The Committee Of Awards on Fruit, were
much pleased with the specimens on eShib-
ition, as uncommonly good, and gives
evidence Of a more general and much inn
proved culture of vegetables and fruits for
the table. The Pears raised by Mr.. OWN.
nell of Calais in the North East part Of the
county, and of Apples in the same town by
Dr. George, exhibited undeniablc proof that
as good fruit with proper care and cultiva-
ton may be rased in Washington County,
as in any other part Of the State. Enough
surely should be raised in every town in the
county for home consumption, and Of the
best varieties, both for fall and winter use.
| The varieties Of fine q ivored apples exhibit
ed by Mr.. Webster of Roxbury. numbered
"a, by DR.. George 25. the committee had
the pleasure of testing the value ofihe apples
on Exhibition and of Judging more by the
sense Of taste, than feeling. The exhibition
of fruits though not large was highly honor
able to all competitors, and especially salts
factory to the committee, as well as to all
lovers Of good fruit vino had the pleasure Of
seeing, if not OF tasting it.
