To the Public

To the Public:
The annexed letter will explain
itself. I am only a go-between. /
am neither gardner nor a preser-
yer of fruits, and must appeal to
those who are for their kindly as
sistance. VIII the producers Of
fruits and vegetables and the put
tiers up of preserves kindly inform
me on or before Friday, June goth,
what they propose to do or have al
ready done in the way of contribu-
ton to the Parish exhibit
The articles themselves must be
seut to our depot during Septem-
Der. Such fruits and vegetables as
are to be exhibited as illustrations
of the productive qualities Of our
soil and climate should be prepared
in such ways as to preserve their
characteristics, for say eight OF nine
months. Where they cannot be
preserved in their natural condition
they should be placed in alcohol,
Preserves should be prepared so as
to exhibit III the best way the fruit
and the skill in preparation.
Very truly,
HERMAN G. DUNCAN.

IMPORTANT In view
of the preparation of a Parish exit
bit for the Worlds Fair, at New

ceive anything subsequent to No

Our Parish exhibit should be
shipped early in October. 1t must
be collected, arranged, the articles
labeled, etc, previous to that date.
The collection must begin not
later than August 15th-indeed it

pairing articles to send them in as
soon as they are ready.
