STATE FAIR, 1874. 419 



Taking the extreme drouth of the season into consideration, it is remarkable 

 that such productions of fruit could be found as the products of this State, 

 and this speaks volumes for the fact that Michigan stands to-day as a leading 

 State in the production of fruits. 



Your committee would call the attention of your board of officers to the 

 specimens of Harris' Seedling exhibited by 11. E. Downey, of Grand Blanc, as 

 a fall variety. This bids fair to be placed among our finest varieties of recent 

 origin.
