part of the exhibit, yet their contributions aided very greatly ia 

 making Horticultural Hall the beauty spot of the fair. 



Those who were in attendance this year or have been in past 

 years, it is unnecessary to invite to visit us in the future. We shall 

 expect to see them as a result of the interest aroused by these 

 visits. But to others who have not taken advantage of this oppor- 

 tunity, we naake urgent appeal to visit this department of the state 

 fair in the future, not only to create and increase an interest in fruit 

 growing but to secure information as to what can be done in this 

 line in our state. 



A list of the awards in this department follows, and its study will 

 give the reader a clear conception of what was done this year in our 

 department.
