coMMIrrEE's REPORT.
Your Committee would respectfully re
port that it considers the exhibition Of frui
at your meeting of the 10th, as highl.
crediable to the fruit growers of Geaugt
County, and that the Apples presented 10
our examination, in variety and qualit
would compare favorably with the lik
exhibition anywhere in Northern Ohio
We were pleased to see in your colectio
nearly all Of the old varieties Of we'll es
tablshed merit. We recommend the cor
finuance of their cultivation, and not
discard them because they are old fash
toned. Stick to your old friends as Ion
as they sustain their good reputation, an
do not reject any ill you have given the,
q fair trial in we'll drained thorough
pulverzed soil, sufficiently enriched vii
good composted manure 10 supply tn
wants OF the tree. No intelligent culuvi
TOR will reject variety because the FIR
exhibition OF fruit is imperfect. The fir
specimens from young trees, or tho:
newly grated, will often be detective
The Baldwin in this section sometime
shows symptoms of the bitter rot for tw
or three years, when it first begins

fruit without blemish. The varieties

TO the inexperienced cultivator il is
source of perplexity to know what
choose and what to reject. 10 those wi
are intending TO plant new orchards, '
say, every man must take into consider
iion the use that he would make Of l
apples, and select accordingly. Amol
the new varieties not on exhibtio
which promise well. and are worthy

For SUMMER-Red Astrachan, Beno
Early Stawberry, Holland Pippin, p

Gravensten, st. Lawrence. .....
FoR WINrER.-Bailey Sweet, Denve

of Thompkins Co., Wagouer.
In conclusion, your committee wou
say that no cultivator of frui: ought
satisfy himself by endorsing another ma
opinions, or barely initiating his pracli
but every man should carefully note a
report his own success or failure in a
experiment. thereby contributing his
share to the general stock, SO that the {
