ANNUAL REPORT. 



Baldwin runs out long and pointed. They have a nice, waxy look. I 

 believe the finest apples I saw were grown in Oregon and Idaho— the 

 largest and finest looking. There was a collection of over one hun- 

 dred varieties of apples from England, and they had a sort of famished 

 appearance, as if they were starved, the sides being pinched in back of 

 the calyx. I should therefore conclude that England is a poor place 

 to grow apples, and not as good an apple growing country as our own. 

 On motion a vote of thank was tendered Mr. and Mrs. Gould and 

 Miss Gould for the manner in which they had cared for the fruit ex- 

 hibit at the Exposition.
