 <3ntrics: Reynolds, Lewis & Co., 1. E. Ilgenfritz, 0. A. Sessions, and David 

 Geddcs.

In division F, pears, the leading lists of entries were of Bartlett's 10 entries; 

 Buffam, 0; Flemish Beauty, IG ; Seckel, 11; White Doyenne, 9; and Winter 

 Nelis, 5. 



In peaches, division G, the entries were confined to fifteen varieties, of which 

 Crawford's Late took the lead. 



There were entries made in division H, grapes, in every class but Catawba, 

 and of Concords and Delawares there were long lists of twenty or more in each 

 class. 



The plums, division J, nearly all came from Manistee, Mason, and Oceana 

 counties, and although there were long lists of them, and the plates showed well, 

 there were not a great many sorts represented. 



In division K, dried fruits, nearly all the classes were filled, and the entries 

 numbered 35. 



In canned and pickled fruits, division L, the entries numbered nearly 150, 

 and every class had a long list of them, besides there were a number of new 

 classes made for the occasion. 



In the next division, preserved fruits and jellies, the entries numbered about 

 as many, and of jellies there seemed no end. 



In division P, professional plant list, the entries were well scattered over the 

 designated classes, and there were also over one hundred entries made of plants 

 that were not classified. These entries were made almost entirely by C. Van 

 Haften of Kalamazoo, and Wm. R. Hibbard of Jackson, thus exhibiting a 

 commendable zeal on the part of these men, who were willing to make fine 

 exhibits even regardless of premiums. 



In the amateur plant list, division Q, there were not so many entries, but the 

 plants were choice ones, and in some cases where persons had grown but a very 

 few plants, and entered one or two only, the plants placed iuexliibitiou were very 

 fine. 



In divisions R and S the entries filled all the allotted space and outnumbered 

 the usual entry list, bat were not as well scattered through the classes as they 

 should have been to have drawn all the iiremium money. 



The entire register of entries numbered about fifteen hundred, and after the 

 time of closing there were over a hundred that came too late for jjutting ou 

 'the books.
