OF ONE HUNDRED, HOW MANY? 



REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE GIVING THE PROPORTION OF THE VARI- 

 OUS FRUITS IN AN ORCHARD OF ONE HUNDRED TREES, RECOMMENDED 

 AND ADOPTED FOR FAMILY, MARKET, AND AMATEUR CULTIVATION, 

 REVISED, CORRECTED, AND ADOPTED AT KALAMAZOO JUNE 28, 1878. 



To the President of tlie MicJiigan State Pomohgical Society : 



Sir, — The Committee on Lists of Fruits having, by the adoption of their 

 recommendations accompanying their last report, been instructed to attach to 

 the names of fruits a series of numbers, indicating the proportion of each to 

 be planted in a collection or orchard of one hundred trees, have complied with 

 such instrnction. In the previous report the. list had been but imperfectly 

 arranged with respect to season, owing to the lack of adequate time for that 

 purpose. 



They are now, therefore, re-classified, arranging them, as strictly as practic- 

 able, with reference to season of maturity. 



The committee are persuaded that the usefulness of the list would be 

 increased by attaching to certain varieties qualifying or characterizing lemarks ; 

 and hence they have, in certain cases, assumed the responsibility of so doing. 



All of which is respectfully submitted, and the concurrence of the Society 

 asked. 



The following is the list of fruits recommended for general planting in the 

 State of Michigan, as re-arranged, numbered, and qualified :
