peaches good ; plums and grapes poor and grapes not ripening 

 well ; cranberries the best crop for years. 



Wrentham (Thomas Breen) . — Corn is less than an average 

 crop. Rowen and fall feed are a very large crop, the largest for 

 years. Onions are a good average crop. Potatoes are a short 

 crop with a good deal of rot. The prospect for root crops, celery 

 and other late market-garden crops is good. Apples short ; pears, 

 peaches, plums and grapes abundant. 



BRISTOL COUNTY. 



Attlehorough (Isaac Alger). — Indian corn is a full average 

 crop. Rowen and fall feed are above the usual average. The 

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

 tion. Potatoes are not up to the average in either yield or quality. 

 There are no apples; pears fair; no peaches; grapes good, and 

 cranberries a small crop. 



Mansfield (W. C. Winter). — Corn will be above the average 

 if it all ripens but some fields are late and probably will not ripen. 

 Rowen and fall feed are both above the average. Not as much 

 fall seeding has been done as usual, probably owing to the excel- 

 lent condition of the pastures. Onions are more than an average 

 crop. Potatoes are not more than half a crop of poor quality. 

 The prospect for root crops, celery and other late maiket-garden 

 crops, is, generally speaking, excellent. Apples poor and less 

 than half a crop ; pears a full crop, quality fair ; peaches a very 

 small crop, quality generally poor ; grapes a full crop, quality fair ; 

 cranberries a fair crop of fair quality. 



Dfghton (J. N. Paul). — Indian corn looks well but the acreage 

 is smaller than usual. Rowen and fall feed are up to the usual 

 average. An average amount of fall seeding has been done and 

 is in good condition. The acreage of onions is less than usual 

 but the crop looks well. Potatoes are not up to the average in 

 yield or quality. The prospect for root crops, celery and other 

 late market-garden crops is good. All fruits are poor crops. 

 Strawberry plants are looking very fine, better than on average 

 years. 



Stoansea (F. G. Arnold). — The acreage of corn is smaller than 

 last year, and the crop not quite up. Rowen and fall feed are the 

 best I ever saw. About an average amount of fall seeding has 

 been done and it is looking finely. Onions blighted slightly. 

 Early potatoes yielded well and were good, late ones suffered badly 

 from blight and rot. Wet weather has caused a heavy growth of 

 all root crops. Apples are a failure ; pears quite plenty but poor. 

 Peaches did well and sold at from $1 to $1.25 per basket.
