State Horticultural Society. 



agricultural department at Washington, together with cards which were 

 put with each individual's fruit, giving the catalogue number and 

 package number and variety and quantity furnished, by giving 

 name, postofiice, county, and state, which was placed with each indi- 

 vidual's fruit that was collected. This fruit was carefully packed in 

 barrels, and when filled, before heading, each barrel was cushioned to 

 prevent bruising in heading and shipped immediately to Armour's cold 

 storage in Kansas City, which is being held by them until wanted to 

 export, free of charge. 



The state has already collected for this exhibit about seventy-five 

 barrels, which is all held in cold storage by Armour Packing Co. 



In conclusion, the varieties of apples which appear to have behaved 

 best in all localities visited were York, Clayton and Ingram. The va- 

 riety that appeared to be injured the worst by the winter and drouth 

 this summer was Rome Beauty. I was out on this work six weeks, 

 arriving back in Kansas City the sixth day of l^ovember.
