Pastor NJ. E. church. Grantsville Circuit
Maryland and Oregon Apples.

Mr.. Richard Vincent, vice president
of the Maryland Horticultural Society,
contributed the following article to the
Baltimore Sunday Sun of the 21st inst.
and as the apple growers of Garrett
county are more directly interested in
the communication of the vice president
of the society than the horticulturists
of any other section of the State Mr..
Vincent's letter is published herewith
as follows:
'In recent issue of,your paper there
is an article on fruit growing that is
rather misleading for the good of our
State. In that issue Mr.. Pack, of Ore
gon, says that apples raised there are
the best in the world. If this is so,
then why did our Maryland apples cap
ture so many first prizes at the Nation
al Fruit Exhibition this winter at Coun-
Gil Bluffs? Oregon had apples tn ere
and so did good many other States.
And yet Maryland was in the, lead with
the same apples that were exhibited in
the Fifth Regiment Armory earlier in
the winter These apples were repack-
ed and carried West for exhibition.
After being on exhibition there they
were reshipped East to the Peninsula
Horticultural meeting Wilmington,
Del, and exhibited with the Delaware
apples. The Delaware and Maryland
apples were put in competition there
with Western fruit, and committee of
experts appointed to pass upon their
merits.
These experts gave the Delaware
and Maryland fruit the premium for the
finest flavor, etc. And therefore con-
tend that Maryland is so far the banner
State for the fruit grower In proof of
this we hope to show the world what
we are doing at the next annual meet
ing in December of the State Horticul~
tural Society, and | would kindly Invite
Mr.. Pack or anyone else to bring the
best fruit they may have and place it in
