22 AVORCESTER COUNTY HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. [1851t. 



The second to Benjamin F. Spoff'onl, of" AVorcestor, for his Hiih- 



bardston Nonsuch, 1 50 



And the third, for his " Pomme Royale," to George A. Trumbull, of 



Worcester, 1 00 



The Committee did not see any one specimen of Winter Apples so much 

 preferable to several others of the same variety -and of such quality " as to 

 merit the bounty of the Society " as to induce them to make any awards under 

 the fourth class of Apples. But to Mr. Joseph Lovell, Jr., of Worcester, they 

 recommend a gratuity of $1.00 for his plates of Leland Spice and for his plate 

 of Hubbardston Nonsuch. 



There are other contributors who have added greatly to the success of the 

 Exhibition, and the Committee desire to make most honorable mention of them 

 and of their fruits. 



J. L. Woodward, of Millbury, has on our tables nine plates of Apples, very fair 

 for this unpropitiousyear; L. Winter, of Millbury, contributed six plates of fruit; 

 Oliver S. Kendall, of Boylston, one plate of Porters ; and, from Worcester, 

 Jonas Hartshorn sent in eight plates of good Apples ; William B. Fox, twenty- 

 one plates ; George Jaques, three plates ; Joel Knapp, thirteen plates ; Mrs. 

 H. Wheeler, five plates; E. Conant, seven plates of good specimens; S. Salis- 

 bury, some good and handsome varieties ; Hon. Levi Lincoln contributed some 

 choice kinds ; William S. Lincoln, four plates ; D. B. Comins, two plates ; 

 E. Dorr, two plates, and there were several others of our citizens who con- 

 tributed one plate each of Apples from their store. Among them was Edward 

 Earle, who sent in a plate of large striped apples — the Michigan Apple — one 

 of the very best, in his opinion, for cooking. As he is one of this Committee, 

 this notice is taken of his apple to pay him for his services rendered on the 

 Committee. For the Committee, 



GEORGE CHANDLER.
