FRUIT SHOWS, 1914. 



INTERNATIONAL APPLE SHIPPERS. 



The International Apple Shippers Association Apple 

 Show at the Copley Plaza, Boston, Aug. 5, 7, 1914, brought 

 fruit from all over the United States and Canada and few 

 would have any conception of the excellence of the color and 

 size of the fruit who were not there. Dr. J. B. Emerson of 

 New York and Virgina easily took the sweepstakes with a 

 splendid display both in quality and quantity. W. S. Teator, 

 Upper Red Hook, N. Y. won first prize in our group with the 

 highest score outside the sweepstakes. 



Massachusetts was represented in single plates and col- 

 lections and the Association won a ribbon with a competitive 

 collection of 14 plates and a total showing of 32 plates. 

 Those contributing to the Association exhibit were W. 

 Wheeler; E. M. Bruce; W. M. Davis; L. F. Priest; Turner 

 Hill Farm ; E. R. Farrar and F. Howard Brown.

 October. Massachusetts fruit was in evidence in all classes 

 and in class G. for Massachusetts only, Alden Derby won the 

 $50 prize and the Hardwick Cooperative Association the 

 silver cup. Alden Derby also won the Worcester Chamber
