EFFORT OF THE CO^fMITTEE O^' SEEDLINGS AND NEW 



FRUITS. 



Your committee awarded first premium on CoUect ion of Seed- 

 lings to W. R. Grain, of Villa Ridge, on a collection of thirteen 

 varieties; the second to L. Redden, of Villa Ridge, for a collection of 

 six varieties. There were on exhibition three other lots containing 

 more plates, but the smaller collections were of better quality and 

 appearance, and seemed to possess more value, so far as we could 

 judge. 



The first premium for Nrir Variety, good enough to recommend^ 

 we have awarded to \V. R. Grain on a plate of Sparks" Late, a large, 

 to very large, yellow apple of spicy, aromatic flavor, crisp flesh and 

 very good quality; the second to L. Redden, for a plate of Johnson, 

 a dark red apple, firm in flesh, above medium in size, fine-grained, 

 spicy, very good flavor. 



An apple entered by Mr. John Shank in this class, the commit- 

 tee think is an old variety known as the Red Winter Pearmain, and 

 in some sections as Red Winter Pip))in. We do not think it prop- 

 erly belongs to this class, but if it did we consider the varieties to 

 which we have awarded the premiums as of better quality and greater 

 promise. 



For best Seedling, good enough to recommend, we award first 

 premium to W. R. Grain for a plate of Spice, dark red, white flesh, 

 good quality; the second premium to L. Redden for a plate of Red 

 Seedling, medium size, red to dark red, yellow flesh, crisp and aro- 

 matic.
