 We also find a number of seedling apples, and we recommend a premium of 

 ■$\ be given a plate (yet unnamed). Description, red to maroon in color, rather 

 flat flesh ; very fine grained ; good. 



Also a premium of 50 cents for an apple which may possibly take the place of 

 the Lady apple for dessert. Both from South Missouri. 



A sample of cider from Turton & Whalen, of Holden, was kept sealed in bottles 

 one year and was very fine. 



A plate of Mam. Pearl potatoes from S. W. Gilbert were very large and per- 

 fect. 



The apple shown by Mr. Gilbert for name is so nearly like the Ben Davis, 

 that would hesitate to call it anything else. 



Your attention is specially called to the plates of apples from the Pecos 

 Valley, New Mexico, as being very fine in appearance and quality.
