It is proper to say here that a very fine Delaware vineyard was entered for 

 premium by N. & C. Chilson, of Battle Creek, but they very modestly with- 

 drew it, as one of the number was appointed on our committee. They have a 

 fine general nursery, and are doing something in greenhouse plants. They 

 found the winter had injured their apple trees, and so cut them off to sound 

 wood at the base, preferring to grow them over again rather than run any risk 

 selling injured stock, and so injure their future trade.
