256 THE CONNECTICUT POMOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



ver cup, for 3 best boxes apples, was awarded to G. A. Drew, 

 manager Conxers Farm, Greenwich, for 1 box each Kmg, 

 Mcintosh and Greening apples, all remarkably fine fruit. 



A very large proportion of the membership of the Society 

 attended the fair and exhibition, attesting to their interest in 

 the exhibits as well as their appreciation of the liberal treat- 

 ment accorded by the state fair officials. Much credit for the 

 success of the show is due the officers and exhibition commit- 

 tee of the Society and others who worked with them, and to 

 those members who contributed the exhibits of splendid fruit. 



The exhibits were judged by the following well-known 

 experts: Professor F. C. Sears of the Massachusetts Agri- 

 cultural College ; Professor E. F. Hitchings, state entomolo- 

 gist of Maine ; N. S. Piatt of New Haven ; A. B. Cook, Farm- 

 ington, and the canned fruits by Mr. W. P. Robertson of Hart- 

 ford and Mrs. H. L. Crandall of Farmington.
