Onions are not up to the average of former years. Potatoes are an 

 average crop in yield and quality and are better than last year. The 

 prospect is good for root crops, celery and other late market-garden 

 crops. Apples, pears, and grapes are good crops, prices better than last 

 year ; peaches hurt by early frosts and not a very heavy crop ; plums 

 rotted badly ; cranberries a fair crop. 



Dunstable (A. J. Gilson). — Indian corn is a good average crop. 

 Rowen and fall feed are above the usual average in condition. Less 

 than the usual amount of fall seeding has been done, but that which has 

 been put in is looking well. Potatoes are below the average in yield 

 but of good quality. Root crops are in good condition. Apples and 

 pears are average crops, peaches and plums light, grapes good, cran- 

 berries veiy light. 



Burlington (C. E. Marion). — Rowen is a large crop and fall feed is 

 above the average in condition. Not much fall seeding has been done 

 as yet. Onions are small in size, but the crop is large. Roots will give 

 large crops, but celery has blighted very badly. Apples, pears, peaches, 

 plums, grapes and cranberries are very light crops. Cauliflower and 

 beans have been entire failures this season and tomatoes have blighted 

 very badly. 



Lincoln (Samuel Hartwell). — Rowen and fall feed are far in 

 excess of the usual average Potatoes are a better crop than usual on 

 high land and are of excellent quality. Not much celery grown in this 

 vicinity, squashes and other late market-garden crops are good. Apples 

 and grapes are plent}', other i'ruits not abundant. 



Wakefield (Chas. Talbot) — Indian corn is looking very well and is 

 fully equal to former years. Rowen and fall feed are 20 per cent in 

 advance of former years. The usual amount of fall seeding has been 

 done and it is looking very fine. Onions are a good crop. Potatoes are 

 of very good quality but the yield is not quite up to past years. The 

 prospect for root crops, celery and other late market-garden crops is 

 very good. Apples are a short crop, peai's good, no peaches, plums 

 good, grapes line and cranberries a short crop. 



Wuichcster (Marshall Symmes). — Rowen is a very heavy crop and 

 fall feed is also heavy. The usual amount of fall seeding has been done 

 and it has everywhere made a good catch. There are very few onions 

 raised and they are a poor crop. Potatoes are more than an average 

 crop and are of good quality. On some ground celery is good, the late 

 set being better than the early. Cauliflowers are unusually late and are 

 likely to head all together in October. Very few apples, half a crop of 

 pears, no peaches. 



Arlington (W. VV. Ravtson).— Rowen and fall feed are in good con- 

 dition. Onions are a very good crop. Potatoes are an average crop 

 in yield and quality. Root crops are much better than usual. Celery 

 is doing well now and promises to be good in quality though light in 

 yield. The prospect for fall crops is good and 1 think prices will be 

 good for all that are of good quality. 



Weston (II. L. Brown). — Rowen and fall feed are much more than 

 average Less than the usual amount of fall seeding has been done, but 

 what has is looking well. Potatoes are an average crop in yield and 

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

 market-garden crops. There is a small crop of apples, very few pears 

 or peaches, grapes a good crop. 



ESSEX COUNTY. 



West Newbury (J. C. Tarleton). — Indian corn is a very good crop 

 though late. Rowen and fall feed are far beyond the average this year. 

 Not very much fall seeding has been done, but that which is in is doing 

 fairly well. Onions have done very well. Potatoes are few in a hill
