Your committee find in the neighborliood of Salem, in Dent coimty^ 

 an apple similar in all respects, only that the trees are large and evi- 

 dently as old or older than Thomas. We would feel justified in pro- 

 nouncing it the same. 



In the neighborhood of Lebanon, in Laclede county, Mr. kelson 

 has called attention to one very similar, but the committee do not hesi- 

 tate to call it Robinson Pippin. 



In Texas county another one of the same class is found that your- 

 committee are of the opinion is Shannon or old Ohio Pippin.

Your committee find two plates of persimmons that are worthy 

 of mention, also ten plates of Ben Davis shown by Prof. J. F. Stanley, 

 of Gainesville. We also find on the table a fine contribution of Gali- 

 fornia fruit prepared by a process- unknown to your committee. 

 The collection of apples are quite phenomenal in a season like the past. 

 We supposed there was little or no fruit in the state, but the collection 

 here shown is to us remarkable. The apples are fine, of high color and 

 it would be hard to beat the show here made. 



We Avish also to make commendatory mention of fourteen new 

 seedlings exhibited by Prof. J. T. Stinson, from the Arkansas Experi- 

 ment Station.
