The quality of this fruit is especially worthy of mention. In the 

 case of the Baldwins a record was kept of the quantity of culls 

 obtained from picked fruit. In one lot of nineteen barrels of first 

 grade fruit, two bushel crates held all the culls. In case of another 

 lot of fifteen barrels, one bushel crate held all the culls, and in the 

 w^iole lot there were but eight bushels. In order to show the quality 

 of the first grade fruit, I submit a copy of the statement of the buyer : 



" Dear Sir : We are pleased to state that the Baldwin apples 

 which we purchased from you and which you stated were from a 

 well-sprayed orchard were the finest lot which we have seen this 

 year. We noticed no wormy specimen, and but comparatively 

 little injury from the scab. 



" E. L. ELLIS." 



Now while this crop may not be remarkable for yield considering 



the amount of land, or number of trees, still, when we consider the 



size of the trees, the general failure of apples in this section, (the 



crop of the county being estimated at only twenty per cent.) and 



the quality of the fruit, the result is certainly very satisfactory.
