 mit the following : 



W. H. Hausen, Franklin Grove, exhibits fifty varieties of apples,, 

 among which are some promising seedlings. 



John P. Brubacker, Nachusa; Grove Wright, Rock Falls; R. B. 

 Sproul, John Wagener, Bradford; Samuel Dysart, Franklin Grove, and 

 C. R. Powell, Sterling, each have creditable displays. 



O. B. Galusha, Morris, exhibits an apple seedling named Triumph, 

 that is of fair size, showy and in quality good. 



Mr. Hansen's collection of apples is worthy of honorable mention 

 as being one of the finest displays of fruit shown at any of our winter 

 meetings by an individual. It speaks well for Mr. Hausen, and for Lee 

 county. Mr. Hausen also presents a specimen of the Rhenish May, grown 

 in 1875, i'"' 3. fair state of preservation. 



With few exceptions, we find the fruit correctly named, and speci- 

 mens of fair quality.
