than has been the case for the last two years. There is no ques- 

 tion but that we can take away a great many more prizes than 

 we have heretofore, if we w^ill but take the time to properly 

 sort and pack the fruit. This is especially true in the case of 

 such varieties as the Spy and Gravenstein, particularly the 

 former, in which class, as a general thing, there is not very 

 much competition. This year the Governor's cup for the 

 State of Maine for the best exhibition of Spy apples was not 

 competed for, and it is very much to the discredit of our 

 growers that this is so. The attendance at the show this year 

 was small and it might be well to transfer the next meeting to 

 some other city where a larger attendance could be had ; other- 

 wise new features must be introduced in order to make it more 

 attractive to the people of Boston.
