We were glad to see five collections of apples at the Fruit and 

 Vegetable Show, October 4, 5, 6, 1912, with very close competition 

 for prizes. 



In class 318 for best six varieties of fall apples, ripe, Elliott & 

 H. Ward Moore won first and Turner Hill Farm second prize. 

 In class 335 for best six varieties of winter apples. Turner Hill 

 Farm won first, Edward E. Cole second, and Elliott & H. Ward 

 Moore third prize. J. Corey & Son of Truro, Massachusetts, 

 had fine specimens of Mcintosh, Blenheim, and Twenty Ounce, 

 while Edward E. Cole showed a beautiful dish of Maiden Blush 

 apples. 



The exhibit of pears was good, the first prize for collection going 

 to George V. Fletcher. The Bosc, which continues to grow in the 

 estimation of the public, was largely represented. 



Dr. W. G. Kendall had very fine dishes of Elberta and Chair's 

 Choice peaches. 



The display of grapes was the largest and best that has been 

 seen in the Hall for years. C. F. Haj^ward of Ashby had twelve 

 perfect bunches of Concord and six of Niagara grapes, winning first 

 prize in both classes. The first prize for collection of grapes was 

 won by Dr. W. G. Kendall and second by Charles W. Libby of 

 Medford. 



A novelty at this time of the year was five varieties of Ever- 

 bearing strawberries shown by Samuel H. Warren. A very artistic

 Mrs. R. Goodnough of West Roxbury for which great credit is 

 due her. We could wish more persons would follow her example 

 in this artistic work. 



A new feature of the Chrysanthemum Show, November 7-10,
