nips are growing very rapidly. Apples and pears are very plentiful ; 

 peaches and grapes very good. There has been very slight damage 

 from frost. Cranberries are a fair crop and are being harvested 

 as rapidly as the wet weather will allow. 



Dennis (Joshua Crowell). — Corn is about an average crop. 

 Rowen is not quite up to the average, but fall feed is good. About 

 the usual amount of fall seeding has been done and is in good con- 

 dition. Onions are much less than a normal crop. Potatoes are of 

 good quality and rather less than average in yield. The prospect 

 is fair for root crops and late market-garden crops. Apples are 

 about half a crop; grapes plenty; cranbeiTies a two-thirds crop. 

 Early cranberries were much below expectations, and are mostly 

 picked ; late berries will come nearer estimates but are much below 

 an average crop. 



Brewster (Thos. D. Sears). — Rowen and fall feed are above 

 the usual average. Fall seeding is looking well, and there has been 

 the usual amount put in. The onion crop compares favorably with 

 a normal crop. The potato crop is rather light, but of good quality. 

 The prospect for root crops is good. Apples, pears and cranberries 

 are turning out better than was expected. There has been no damage 

 from frost. 



Eastham (A. L. Nickerson). — The crop of Indian corn is very 

 nearly normal. The rowen crop is short in this section. Practically 

 no fall seeding is done here. Potatoes are a smaller crop than usual, 

 but of good quality. Turnips, our principal crop, are looking well. 

 The apple crop was very small and not of the best quality; pears 

 plenty and good. There has been no frost yet to do any damage. 

 Grapes have been very plenty and of good quality. Cranberries 

 are about a normal crop of the usual quality. 



Truro (John B. Dyer). — There is an average crop of Indian 

 corn, but it is not much raised. The late rains have helped rowen 

 and fall feed greatly. Not much fall seeding has been done, but 

 that put in is in good condition. Onions are an average crop. 

 Potatoes are an average crop. Winter turnips look well, as do 

 other late crops. Apples are a good crop, except Baldwins; pears, 

 peaches and grapes good; cranberries greatly below the normal. 

 There has been no damage from fi'ost. 



DUKES COUNTY. 



West Tishury (Geo. Hunt Luce). — The corn crop is rather 

 below the normal. The rains came late for rowen, bat fall feed is 

 above the average. Not much fall seeding has been done here. 

 Onions are not raised here to any extent. Potatoes are much below 

 the normal. The prospect is vei-y good for root crops, celery and 

 other late market-garden crops. Fruit of all kinds is above the 

 normal. There has been no injury from frost.
