Strawberries — Old varieties: Crescent, "Wilson, Chas. 

 Dawing, and D. E.Young speaks very highly of the Jumbo, 

 but from what I saw in Mr. Loudon's grounds the two last 

 summers, I think the Jessie ought to be at the head. 



Grapes — Worden, Concord and Delaware. 



Fruit Crops. 



I can't give the number of acres of fruit raised in the dis- 

 trict. B. F. Adams writes me there were about twenty-five 

 acres of strawberries about Madison last year. I will esti- 

 mate there were fifteen acres grown within eight miles of 

 Brodhead. Prices for strawberries have run from 

 five to fifteen cents per quart. Raspberries ten to fifteen 

 cents. 



D. S. Young writes me he sold English Morello at 12^ 

 cents per quart box. Early in the fall there was but little 

 sale for apples at any price. At gathering time I sold 

 Fameuse at $^.33 per bbl. Grapes sold from 4 to 8 cents per 

 pound. 



Horticultural Exhibitions. 



There was a splendid exhibit of strawberries at Janesville 

 in June, and Mr. Adams writes me there was a fine exhibit 

 of fruit at Madison last fall, largely from Baraboo, however. 



Owing to sickness in my family I did not attend any of 

 the fall fairs and have no reports of the fall exhibits.
