withdraw this portion Of the collection
being confident that what remained
would be sufficient to uphold Utah's
status in horticulture. To individualize
Dixie's display would be a big task. II
is all good and better than the best
shown at the state fair heretofore.
FARR BEATS CALIFORNIA.
Enoch Farr OF Weber shows FIVE
varieties OF grades of good color and
flavor. The fact that he gets cents
box more for the product of his vlne-
yard right in ogden than the import
ed Californian variety Is in Itself a
criterion that the exhibit Is a good
one. In close proximity NJ. p. Brown
/. of Roy. the melon specialist shows
some melons that would assay about
80 TO the ton.
The Wilson Bros. OF Ogden are big
exhibitors. Their show includes eight
varieties of peaches, ~ of pears, 16 Of
pums and prunes, eight Of cherries
nine OF grapes II OF apples, seven Of
tomatoes, two of peppers, two of corn
with some egg plants and flowers
throw In for decorative purposes. The
egg plants and peppers look like small
pumpkins, by the way,
OTHER BIG DONORS.
There are a number of other Utah
men who have sent In samples to help
the Beehive state keep the cup at home.

er, A. Christensen, II, hotter and Pc
ter Knudsen. u. b. Gordon Of Willard,

PLITMS AND MELONS.
A. /. stone OF Ogden takes q fail
out of his neighbors on plums and
melons. without doubt he has the
biggest plums that are on exhibition.
He has plums on dishes and plums on
their native branches, one and all maxi
ing the mouths of the onlookers TO
water. He shows four varieties OF
cantaloupe, one OF them. the Paul Rose,
which is practically all meat and no
cavity,

Fork shows some very good hops that
make the Oregonians come over and
scratch their heads thoughtfully. Provo

CALIFORNIA COMES NEXT.
Next to Utah possibly California at
tracts attention. G. l.. Underwood In
charge has made a very tasteful ar
rangement OF the fruit at his disposal.
The oranges, lines. lemons and other
citrus fruits are somewhat OF novelty
for Utah hortlculturIsts and attract
merlted attention. Then, too, California
believes that she will pull down the
cup for the best barley and there are
others who think 30 too The peach
and general deciduous fruits have been
collected by the chamber Of commerce
OF Sacramento and make brave show,
while the citrous fruits come under
the wing OF the Los Angeles chamber
OF commerce. Los Angeles never does
things by halves, and the City of the
Angels has lived up to her record. Nor
ris Brooke, supervisor Of the Fourth
district OF Sacramento county is right
on the ground and what he does not
know about rasins would not wad a
shot gun Mr., Morris has seedless
rasin grape named the Thompson which
he Is handing out by the bunch. Mr..
Morris IL popular. Incidentally he
states that people average $3.50 an acre
for this grape right now IN his home
valley. He tells stories too. but they
have nothing to do with horticulture.
FROM JAPAN TO OGDEN.
From Japan to Ogden Is a long jump,
but that Ia what Col Henry H. bosch,
of Portland, commissioner for oregon,
has done. For year past he had
been over TO the Fifth National Indus
