1884.] KEPOET OF THE POMOLOGIST. 321 



Arthur H. Sherwood — One sample onions. 



Willis H. Sherwood — One sample of carrots ; one of onions. 



S. B. Wakeman — One sample corn ; one red onions ; one white onions ; one 

 yellow onions ; one lima beans ; one kidney beans ; two onion seed ; one buck- 

 wheat ; one oats ; one wheat. 



The Green's Farms exhibit comprised eighty-four different samples or dishes, all 

 as heretofore of marked excellence. There is authentic evidence of a product of 

 corn, counting seventy poun 's of ears per bushel, of 119 bushels shelled com 

 per acre, and as by trial seventy pounds actually did yield a bushel and four 

 quarts of corn, the true yield approached near 130 bushels per acre. Aaing, a 

 yield of eighty bushels of oats shows the high state of culture at Green's Farms. 

 A radius of eight miles from Green's Farms shows sales of market products, 

 fruits, and vegetables probably exceeding almost any other in our country for 

 the like area. Green's Farms is truly the garden district. 



WOLCOTT FAKMERS' CLUB. 



Wolcott, although a hill town, is full of thrift and enterprise. They not only 

 furnish their Waterbuiy neighbors vi ith thousands of cords of wood, but also but- 

 ter, fruits, vegetables, and all farm products. Waterbury and Wolcott show a 

 striking illustration of the natural dependence between farmer and mechanic or 

 manufacturer. Early on Wednesday Wolcott was at the hall with a large dis- 

 play of their products, which were mainly as follows : 



Manville Norton — One dish table beets ; one white strap-leaf turnip; one cit- 

 ron ; two squashes ; seven kinds sweet corn ; two kinds pop corn ; one yellow 

 corn; four kinds of peas ; five varieties of beans; one early corn ; one rye; one 

 sample oats; also twenty-eight cans fruit; ten varieties potatoes; one onions; 

 one of carrots ; one orange turnips. 



E. A. Todd — One sample Button corn ; one dish apples. 



Thomas Fairclough — Two varieties poUtoes; two of turnips ; three of beets; 

 two of carrots. 



Mrs. Thomas Fairclough — Eight dishes of beans ; four of peas ; three water- 

 melons; one can of peaches, put up in 1869; one can of honey; one crook-neck 

 squash ; one cheese pumpkin ; one dish potato onion sets, and four kinds of 

 potatoes. 



A. B. Pierpont — Five varieties potatoes; one Longfellow corn; one of rice 

 pop-corn ; one sweet corn, and some very large beets. 



We were fully aware that Wolcott could produce fine crops of fruit and other 

 products, and were much gratified by this exhibit, which consisted in all of 112 

 different samples, exceeding in extent that of any other club. We congratulate 

 Waterbury in having such good neighbors close at hand to help feed her 25,000 

 inhabitants. 



T. C. Barnes, of Collinsville, made a large exhibit of fine, handsome potatoes, 

 nicely arranged and labeled, consisting of eighteen varieties, with the following : 



" The weight of crop of each variety is given, grown in rows of equal length, 

 with conditions equal, as far as could be made so ; grown on a light soil — an old 

 caltivated garden ; manure, Mapes' Potato Fertilizer ; seed fair size, cut to one or 

 two eyes ; drilled in one piece every ten inches. '
