tlian the wise heads predicted some weeks 



ago and the quality is very good. Dealers 



are buying Gravonsteins at .$1 for No. 2, 



and $1.25 for No. 1, packed for market. 



.Evidently they do not intend to lose much 



[hard cash this sea.son. The first shipment 



{to England went on Sept. 11th, by one of 



fthe Furness Withy Co. ships. The cargo 



Sconsisted of 15,000 barrels, mostly Graven- 



tsteins. Cranberries are a bumper crop and 



[the quality is fine.

The exhibit of fruits at the Provincial 



exhibition was generally conceded to be far 



above the average usually brought out at 



■ this fair. Particularly in apples did the 



"orchardists of the province and of Nova 



^ Scotia make an excellent showing, but there 



was also a good display of small fruits. In 



the vegetable classes, attention was at once 



attracted by the uniform excellence of the 



potatoes and the judges had a difficult task 



in deciding upon the winners. The flower 



show was hardly as large as usual, but the 



quality was good. As usual the professional 



florists captured most of the prizes. 



In the vegetable classes the river farmers 

 did particularly well. For the best assort- 

 ment of potatoes, O. W. Wetmore of Clif- 

 ton, N. B., secured the first prize. He was 

 also successful in winning several class 

 prizes, and the prize for general excellence 

 in potatoes, offered by the Provincial Chem- 

 ical Fertilizer Co., Ltd., of St. John. 



In the competition for the best collection 

 of field roots, exclusive of potatoes, A and 

 C. A. Harrison, of Mangerville, were first 

 and this firm also captured tlie prize for the 

 best collection of field roots and garden 

 produce. The prize of $20. offered by W. 

 Atlee, Burpee & Co., seedsmen of Philadel- 



phia, for the best collection of vegetables 

 grown from Burpee's Seeds, was won by 

 John Maxwell of Upper Sheffield. The 

 sweepstakes prize for the best assortment 

 of garden produce was won by John Max- 

 well, with A. and C. A. Harrison, second. 



In the apple classes the prize for the ex- 

 port and domestic varieties was,as expected, 

 captured by that veteran orchardist, E. T. 

 Nully, of Middleton, N. S. 8. L. Peters, of 

 Queenstown, N. B., won the first prize for 

 baskets of apples. In pears, H. E. Bent of 

 Tupperville, N. S., H. A. D'Almaine, and S. 

 L. Peters, of Queenstown, N. B.,' were the 

 most successful competitors. Mrs. S. L. 

 Peters, with a very pretty exhibit, won the 

 prize for the best fruit decoration for a din- 

 ing table. In plums prizes were won by H. 

 E. Bent, H. A. D'Almaine, of Wolfville, N. 

 8., and H. D. Johnson of Wolfville. 



The county prizes for the best collection 

 of fruits were won respectively as follows : 

 Westmoreland, Albert, Kings, Queens, Sun- 

 bury, York and Victoria. The special prize 

 for the best 10 varieties of apples grown in
