The fruit show, in connection with
the meeting of the Horticultural So
ciety, had to be abandoned because
an absolute embargo has just been
placed on the movement of fruit out
of the city of Philadelphia. For
this reason the fruit show will be
held in the Reading Terminal Mar
ket, Philadelphia, next Tuesday. Mr..
Walter B. Harris, of Worton, Md,
will be one of the chief exhibitors,
having in storage for this purpose
IS barrels, hampers and boxes of
apples.

mory, this city, was good, but not so

freeze many vegetables in the
ground. The prizes awarded are as
