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

 garden crops. No apples to speak of ; an average crop of other 

 fruits without sun enough to make them really of good quality. 



NORFOLK COUNTY. 



Cohasset (E. E. Ellms) . — Corn is more than an average crop. 

 Rowen and fall feed are far ahead of the usual average. The 

 usual amount of fall seeding has been done and is in good condi- 

 tion. Onions are a good crop. Potatoes are not up to the aver- 

 age in yield or quality. The prospect is good for root crops, 

 celery and other late market-garden crops. There are few apples 

 but all other fruits are good. 



Randolph (R. A.Thayer). — Indian corn is a good average 

 crop with a large growth of stalk. Rowen is a very heavy crop 

 and fall feed is above the average. The usual amount of lall seed- 

 ing has been done and the young grass looks well. Onions are a 

 good average crop. Potatoes are small and rotting badly and will 

 not be more than half a crop. Celery and beets are doing well ; 

 winter squashes from one-half to two-thirds of a crop. Apples a 

 very small crop ; pears good ; grapes a full crop but late in ripen- 

 ing ; cranberries a good crop and as yet untouched by frost. 



Dedham (A. W. Cheever). — Corn is not much raised except 

 sweet corn for market and that is below the average. Rowen and 

 fall feed are above the usual average. Fall seeding looks unusu- 

 ally well and there is no falling off in area. Early potatoes are 

 quite good, but late ones are small, poor and with many rotting. 

 Apples poor ; pears full crop ; peaches on a few trees good ; and 

 grapes too late to ripen fully. 



Norfolk (G. E. Holbrook). — Indian corn is not as good as 

 last year and in fact is less than an average crop. Rowen and fall 

 feed are much above the usual average. Not as much fall seeding 

 as usual has been done but what has been put in is looking well. 

 Potatoes are far below an average crop and many will buy for 

 home use. Root crops, celery and other late market-garden crops 

 seem to be doing well to date. All fruit crops are average with 

 the exception of apples. Our farmers are cutting and stooking 

 corn as fast as they can at this date. 



Foxborough (E. A. Morse). — Indian corn is fully up to the 

 average. Rowen and fall feed never were better. Farmers are 

 doing considerable seeding just at present and some is just coming 

 up. Potatoes are half a crop, of poor quality and rotting badly. 

 Turnips are growing finely ; cabbages good ; squashes a poor 

 yield. A few apples but of poor quality ; pears a full crop ;
