By the published premium list,
your committee are only authorized to
award single premium to the "best
and largest varieties of apples,p but
we feel that other lists besides the one
to which the award is made demand
speciahnOtice. Entry No. 5 is equal
in quality to entry No. u, though not
in variety. The admirable manner in.
which the fruits in both lots were ar
ranged demand our unqualified praise.
Each variety was separately labeled,
making the labor Of the Committee
comparatively easy of performance,
and furnishing an example Of order
and neatness worthy Of imitation by
future exhibitors. The same praise is
due TO entry No. IS, a collection which
attracted much attention from the
beauty of its arrangement. 3
We cannot here omit to notice the
fact that during examination, the
excellent quality and remarkable size
Of the fruits were the subject of con-
tinual remark by all spectators, and
especially from those representing the
old fruit growing States. Those most
familiar with fruit culture and or
chard products were the Warmest in
their expression of admiration az the
display. A single apple OF exhibition
measured in circumference l63 inches,
and Weighed29 ounces and pears and
peaches Of astonishing size shared
With 1t the general admiration.
