This collection, while not doing full justice to many varieties on 

 exhibition, owing to the unfavorable season, afforded the members 

 of the Association a chance to see, handle and taste the different 

 varieties and judge them by comparison, and they took advantage 

 of the opportunity, surrounding the tables during the intervals 

 between meeting® and fully discussing the merits and demerits of 

 the different kinds, and we would suggest from what we noticed 

 in connection with this display that an exhibition of all the fruits 

 grown in this State, whether good or bad, can be made of more 

 practical value to the members of the Association than any other 

 part of the meeting. 



Respectfully submitted,
