 produce of any kind." 



OTHER NURSERIES AND ORCHARDS. 



Before 1830, nurseries of more or less importance had been begun in 

 Adams county by John Wood (1820); in Edwards, by Sidney Spring 



(1825); in Jersey, by Robert Avery (1825); in Madison, by 



Masson (1820?); in Perry, by Joseph Bradshaw (1825 ?) ; in St. Clair, 



by Wood (1820?); and in Vermillion, by John Canady (1826). 



This list is no doubt quite incomplete. 



Meanwhile, a great many orchards were planted out ; and, at the risk 

 of making many mistakes and omissions, I would state that the informa- 

 tion returned to our Society furnishes the following partial list of pioneer 

 orchardists, prior to 1830 :
