324 ANNUAL REPORT. 



Minnesota was remembered by its fine display of fruits, and 

 their tasteful arrangement. Mary Barns, 



Feb. 16, 1885. Barry, Mo. 



The fruit display is such that we, of the State of Minnesota, 

 are surprised at the many varieties raised in our State, and that 

 the same is so finely arranged. G. W. Buswell, 



Feb. 24, 1885. H. P. Courtaes, 



E. D. South, 



Blue Earth City. 

 Wm. Courtaes, 



St. Paul. 



Myself and boys vote this Minnesota fruit display rather the 

 finest we have seen, and decidedly the jellies take the cake. 



Mrs. O. W. Robertson, 

 Feb. 16, 1885. Milwaukee, Wis. 



Minnesota has a fine display of fruit and jellies very attract- 

 ively arranged. 

 Feb. 16, 1885. Mrs. Whipple. 



So say we — all of us. Q. A. Whipple, 



Ehode Island. 



In passing through the Minnesota exhibits we could but stop 

 to admire the exhibit of fruits, both fresh, canned, and jellied, 

 arranged by the superintendent, F. G. Gould, and wife, from 

 Excelsior. Some of the baskets holding the fruit were designed 

 by Mr. G. especially for the purpose, and were beautiful. The 

 display was excelled by none. Mrs. T. J. Temple. 



February, 1885. Mexico, New York. 



Minnesota, in her fruit exhibit, excels all ideas of the public 

 as to her capacity in that line. The display is arranged with 

 great taste, and from the adjacent spaces attracts universal at- 

 tention. The lady in charge is kind, and ever ready to give in- 

 formation to visitors. Eliza Greenwood, 



February, 1885. ISTew Orleans, La. 



The Minnesota fruit is the best on the grounds. 



Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Gray, 



Chicago, 111. 



It is with much delight we indorse the extreme excellence of 

 Minnesota exhibits, especially fruit product.
