This collection is of great value, as furnishing models for aid in the 

 identification of fruits, and we heartily commend the plan of the state 

 experiment station in making these exhibits in prominent places in the 

 state for the education of fruitgrowers. By means of them many errors 

 may be corrected, and would-be purchasers of trees can be aided in the 

 choice of varieties to plant. 



Most of the peaches shown in this collection are too late for this Trav- 

 erse country, but we would specially commend Kalamazoo and Brunson 

 to supplant Late Crawford, and Engle's two numbers of seedlings from 

 Chili are certainly an improvement upon the parent. Switzerland is 

 rather late, but hardy and very beautiful. Stevens' Rareripe should also 

 do well in this north country. 



The Stark apple certainly has many qualities to commend it as a mar- 

 ket sort. 



The Black Hamburg grapes were grown in the College greenhouses and 

 are very fine clusters of the variety. 



4. The committee found a collection of market apples shown by Mr. H. 

 K. Brinkman of Old Mission, and entered for the Society's premium. It 

 contains all the prominent market apples of this vicinity, several pears, 

 and two sorts of peach. The most notable plates are Alexander, Bald- 

 win, Spy, Wagener, King,Twenty Ounce, Fallawater, Chenango, and Shi- 

 awassee. We recommend a first premium. 



5. The committee was also requested to pass upon the merits of a dis- 

 play of kitchen vegetables by M. Henry Brodhagen of Traverse City. We 

 found a very fine display, covering a wide range of products. We were 

 greatly pleased with the exhibit and recommend the society's first pre- 

 mium. 



Our attention was called to the general display of fruit and fruit pro- 

 ducts at the Grand Traverse fair, and we were struck by the beauty and
