felt justified in iKildino" it in the same place two years in 

 succession. 



The weather being- especially favorable, the attendance at this 

 fair was larger than usual, and consequently a great number of 

 ]3eople visited the Pomological exhibition and had an oppor- 

 tunity of seeing some of the results of the Society's work. 



A corner of the exhibition tent, Berlin, 1903. 



The large tent provided for the exhibit was none too big to 

 accommodate the exhibits of fruit, which numbered over 1200 

 plates, besides many displays of canned fruits and jellies, fruit 

 growers' supplies, nursery stock, and also specially packed bar- 

 rels and boxes of apples. This latter class was a new feature 

 and one in which much interest was shown both by exhibitors 

 and visitors. 



Eight exhibitors competed for the prizes, and displayed their 

 skill in selecting and packing the fruit in the most approved 

 market packages.
