 songs so when you come to our school we can sing them.

 My dear Mr. Tuttle: 



Our teacher, Mrs, Martin, received your letter in answer to the picture 

 of the apple exhibit, and I was the one selected to write you a letter. 



The apple exhibit in District i, Town of Wilson, Niagara County 



We had forty-five varieties of apples and about forty visitors besides 

 the pupils of the other departments. We had many new varieties which 

 are not common around here, and also some potatoes and Niagara grapes. 

 Each pupil brought a different variety of apple, and some we had three of 

 a kind, and others, five. 



We have also taken up in agriculture, the codling moth and other 

 insects, trees, birds, and the com plant which you see in the picture. 



We went to the woods one afternoon, and there found many interesting 

 things to study. We are now taking up the maple trees, and expect to 

 watch the buds through the winter. I remain 



Your friend,
