FEUIT GROWERS ASSOCIATION. 501 



shall much regret it ; our endeavor was to find every card, and 

 the bounds of every collection. Many exhibitors were not 

 present, which must suffice for our apology, if any are not herein 

 noticed. 



Thomas H. Payne, Lake Co., 111. A fine collection of Pears, 

 the largest in the tent. They were well grown, and mostly cor- 

 rectly labeled. Of apples the variety was extended ; Mr. Payne 

 says " 111 varieties." They were well grown, but only in part 

 correctly named. We noticed " Dumelow," as " Court Pendu 

 plat ;" " Ortley," affixed to a long striped apple, and other errors. 

 His show was attractive. 



Russell Cheney, Bradford, Rock Co. About 40 plates were 

 occupied, representing 20 to 25 varieties of the apple, mostly 

 correctly named. 



Chas. Hanford, Bradford, Rock Co. New varieties grapes ; 

 embracing Catawba, Isabella, and other good kinds. "The Char- 

 ter Oak," and other large Connecticut grapes were of the Fox 

 Grape family, and were coarse and pulpy, " Northern Musca- 

 dine " had less of the peculiar flavor and odor of the Fox grapes, 

 but wants character. His Grape and Strawberry wines were 

 good. 



J. C. Brayton, Aztalan. 45 varieties apples ; 2 of grapes, 

 Vermont and Catawba ; and 3 of pears, grown on 3 year dwarf 

 trees planted last spring. 



C. Bemerman. a good show of large, coarse, acid apples, 

 labelled " Dillno Pippin." 



B. E. Mack, Turtle, Rock Co. Some 20 varieties apples, 

 well grown, and mostly good sorts. 

 J. Eddy, Beloit. A good show of apples incorrectly named. 



D. Mathews, Burlington, Racine Co. A superb colleetion 

 of apples, 76 varieties, all correctly labelled. This was the larg- 

 est collection of recognizable varieties on the tables. 



A. G. Hanfokd, Waukesha. 55 varieties apples, embracing 

 a large proportion of popular kinds, all under name, and cor- 

 rectly labelled. 



E. A. RoBY, Richland City. A seedling Fox grape, slightly 

 improved ; also, Raspberries.
