While looking over this vast area of fruit, qnany varieties un- 
known in this cold climate, or at least adapted only to more south- 
ern latitudes, we could but admire the taste exercised in making 
selections for exhibition, and the care with which they had been 
packed and labeled. In many instances, each variety of six spec- 
Imens was enclosed in a manilla paper sack, or, when too large, 
each specimen was wrapped in soft paper ; each variety, or when 
packed singly each specimen, being plainly labeled, which added 
ee to the ease and rapidity of unpacking and placing on exhi- 
ition, 
Wisconsin made a fine exhibit ; and why should she not, with 
such men as A. G. Tuttle and J. C. Plumb to collect her fruits and 
place them on exhibition ? 
A seedling, the Darkham Russet, a good cooker, bearer, and 
hardy tree ; healthy, good grower, spreading habit ; color red rus- 
set, size above medium ; is spoken of by Mr. Tuttle as one of the 
best new apples for their section. Also, the Kellog Russet, hardy, 
upright, stout grower, productive, good keeper; a seedling from 
Golden Russet. A dark-reddish apple, called Black Vandeveer, is 
mentioned as very hardy in that state.
