FRUITS. 



The committee on fruit respectfully report, that in the discharge of 

 their duty they have been much gratified in the examination of a 

 greater variety and better quality of fruit than has hitherto been 

 exhibited at our county fairs. 



The committee discover a prevailing disposition among fruit-grovs'ers 

 to esteem size, and not quality, a sine qua non. With judges of good 

 fruit, however, this is not so much the case. And we would recommend 

 to our agricultural and horticultural friends, that in their exhibitions 

 and selections of fruit and fruit trees, to be more tenacious as to 

 quality and keeping properties.
