NOTES ON THE REGISTER OF ENTRIES. 



The whole number of entries was just 1,000 — one-third less than last year; 

 and this with more fruit in Michigan than was ever known before. Evidently 

 the collectors thought that in this season of abundance the competition would 

 be too close to pay for the exertion of gathering the fruit. The apple entries 

 were as many as usual, but on other fruits there were very few. The plant 

 exhibit was not large, but comprised some very fine specimens.

 mittee were C. K. Coryell, Jonesville ; A. C. Glidden, Paw Paw ; A. G. Gulley,
