Dgy exhibit, consisting of about TWEEN
ty-five specimens Of the beneficial in
sects, with several large models de-
vised for the study of the internal
anatomy of the insects.
The college collection contains 10000
specimens. Those sent to the EXPOSE
ton are to show the method of mount
ing and preserving, the system OF
classification and arrangement.
Canning Industry.
In the canning and preserving of oys-
tiers, tomatoes, peas and Strawberries
the state of Maryland leads the United
States. In the canning of fruits and
vegetables. all kinds being considered,
it stands second. 1t packs 80 per cent
of the tomatoes canned in the United
States and % per cent of the total
amount of peas.
In exploitation of this industry there
are on exhibit in the Maryland booth
two pyramids eight feet in diameter
and fifteen feet high composed of thou
sands of cans of all kinds of vegeta-
bles and fruits. Then there are guam
titles of preserves and pickles, good to
look upon and pleasant to the taste.
Professor Symons is a member of the
faculty of the Maryland Agricultural
college, being in charge of the depart
ment of entomology. He is the state
entomologist and is secretary of the
Maryland Horticultural society. Being
thus versatile he has known exactly
how to arrange the various exhibits to
the best advantage of the whole. He
personally supervised the placing of
everything in the booth and has great
ly added to its beauty by weaving
ropes of ivy around the windows, over
the tables and through the balcony
rails of the office.
J., Oyster Industry.
The Maryland oyster industry is rep
resented by an exhibit sent by the
state shellfish commission. 1t consists
of numerous specimens of oysters, the
exhibits being arranged according to
the ages of the specimens and again
according to the variety and size.
The shellfish commission was organ
lied by DR.. Caswell Graves about one
year ago, but since that time it has
been the means of developing oyster
beds worth millions of dollars.
In addition to the specimen exhibits,
a number of pictures and maps are
displayed, showing how the beds are
located and developed. The whole wall
at the upper end Of the booth is COW
cred with these pictures and charts.
In recent report of the Maryland
State Horticultural society it is shown
that the annual crop of potatoes in the
state is worth about $1,500,000, some
SO, 600 acres being grown.
The exhibits of this vegetable occupy
several large tables near the oyster
display. These potatoes are unusually
large and firm. Fifteen varieties of
the Irish potato are represented and
two varieties OF sweet potatoes.
Pictures and Decorations.
In addition to the pictures and
charts mentioned above, there are a
number of views taken in various sec

large tubs.
In the center of the booth is the Of
tice of the superintendent, Professor
Thomas b, Symons; Mrs. Symons, the
hostess of the exhibit, with Mr.. Sy-
mons assistants, Il. |. oswald and +. w.
Myers. This Office is ten feet from the
floor and is eighteen feet long by eight
feet deep.
Along the front of the booth and in
it are twenty-one extension tables,
white with gold trimmings, on which
are the Maryland apples, rated by hor-
ticulturists us among the finest in the
world. Thirty-tve varieties of this
fruit are shown. To see these alone is
well worth a visit to the building.
On each plate of fruit and, in fact,
on every exhibit in the booth is card
ON which are printed a map of Mary
land and the variety of the exhibit, to-
gether with the name and address of
the exhibitor. The locality from which
the specimen was sent is designated
on the top. the map by red cross.
Thus one is enabled TO tell at a glance
all about the specimen in question. In
addition to their individual use, these
cards constitute a valuable horticul-
tural collection. inasmuch as they as
sign to each section of the state the
fruits for which it is best known.
State Agricultural College.
At the right end of the booth is
shown the exhibit from the Maryland
Agricultural college. This consists of
large case containing about fifty
specimens Of steel, iron and wood
work. an equal number of original me-
chanical drawings and n large assert
ment Of photographs showing the stu
dents, with their instructors, engaged
