usual amount of fall seeding has been done and is in excellent condition. 

 Potatoes are about an average crop. Apples are about half a crop of 

 good quality ; no peaches. 



Upton (B. A. Juukdan). — Indian corn is a very good crop. There 

 is a large crop of rowen and fall feed is also in good condition. The 

 usual amount of fall seeding has been done and is looking finely. Onions 

 are a good average crop. Potatoes are average in yield and of fine 

 quality. The prospect for root crops, celery and other late market-garden 

 crops is very good. Apples a light crop, pears and grapes plenty, ci'an- 

 berries a fair crop. 



Hoj)edale (Delano Patrick). — Indian corn is a full average crop. 

 Rovpen and fall feed are much above the usual average. Less than the 

 usual amount of fall seeding has been done as yet. Onions are an un- 

 commonly good crop. Potatoes are not a large yield, but are of good 

 quality. The prospect is good for root crops, celery and other late 

 market-garden crops. All kinds of fruits are less than average crops. 



Douglas (J. M. Rawson). — Indian corn is up to the usual average. 

 Rowen and fall feed are the best for many years. Less than the usual 

 amount of fall seeding has been done, but it is in good condition. 

 Onions are not a good crop and maggots are doing much damage. 

 Potatoes are an average crop in yield and quality. Celery poor, cabbage 

 good, turnips light, carrots good. Early apples a poor crop, vv^inter 

 applfS dropped badly, pears light, no peaches, plums rotted, grapes light. 



Uxbridge (Augustus Storv). — Indian corn is a good crop though 

 high winds and heavy rains have done some damage. Rowen and fall 

 feed have done better than usual. We are late on fall seeding but such 

 as has been done is looking finely. Onions are a good cro^j but not 

 much grown. Potatoes are a better crop than was thought possible a 

 month ago. The prospect is good for root crops ; celery is doing well, 

 but squashes are not up to the average. Apples, pears, peaches and 

 plums are light crops ; grapes plenty. 



MIDDLESEX COUNTY. 



Framingham (II. S. Whittemore). — Indian corn is more than an 

 average crop. Rowen and fall feed were never as heavy as this season. 

 Not as much fall seeding as usual has been done. Onions are about a 

 three-fourths crop. Potatoes are not an average crop but the quality is 

 generally good. Squashes and celery are good ci'oi)s. Late market- 

 garden crops are generally good but bring low prices at market. Ajjples 

 are three-fourths of a crop, very few peaches, plums light crop, grapes 

 scarce and do not ripen well, half a crop of cranberries. 



Marlborough (E. D. Howe). — Indian corn is a full average crop. 

 Rowen and fall feed are above the usual average ; some fields have been 

 mowed three times this year. But little fall seeding has been done. 

 Potatoes are an average crop in yield and quality. Root crops, celery 

 and other late market-garden crops promise well. Apples are three- 

 fourths of a crop, pears half a crop, peaches 10 per cent, grapes a full 

 crop. Apples are of such good size that the number of barrels will be 

 larger than was anticipated.

 Apples very good, pears good but cheap, not many peaches, no plums, 

 grapes not ripening very well, not many cranberries.
