garden crops. Baldwin apples are not a full crop, but the quality 

 is excellent. Frost has injured grapes and cranberries. There is 

 some complaint that cattle are giving less milk than the abundance 

 of feed should warrant. 



Teu-ksbury (G. E. Crosby) . — Early planted corn is good but 

 there is very little grown here. Rowen and fall feed are rather 

 better crops than usual. Less than the usual amount of fall seed- 

 ing has been done as yet, but what has been seeded is starting 

 well. In fields free from maggots the onion crop is good. There 

 is a fair yield of potatoes of good quality, except where troubled 

 by rot. The prospect is about as usual for root crops, celery and 

 other late market-garden crops. Apples and pears are abundant; 

 peaches scarce ; wild grapes plentiful. 



Carlisle (F. J. Carr) . — Indian corn is below an average crop. 

 Rowen and fall feed are about the usual average. About the 

 usual amount of fall seeding has been done and is looking well. 

 Onions are little raised. Potatoes are about an average crop of 

 good quality. Root crops, celery and other late market-garden 

 crops are all looking well. Apples, pears and peaches are light 

 crops ; grapes and cranberries large crops. 



Winchester (S. S. Symmes). — Rowen and fall feed are not up 

 to the usual average. Very little seeding has been done and the 

 growth so far is slow. Onions are less than a normal crop. 

 Potatoes are a much smaller crop than usual. Beets are a good 

 crop ; celery still very small. Apples and pears light crops ; some 

 peaches yielded well. Heavy frost ruined many tomatoes, peppers 

 and corn. 



Stoneham (J. E. Wiley). — There is but little Indian corn 

 raised in town. Rowen and fall feed are up to the usual average. 

 The usual amount of fall seeding has been done and it is in good 

 condition. Potatoes are not up to the average in yield. The 

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

 crops. Apples good; pears fair; grapes and cranberries good. 

 The brown-tail caterpillars have attacked many pear trees to such 

 an extent that the pears Iiave withered and dropped off. 



ESSEX COUNTY. 



Haverhill (Euen Webster). — Corn will be less than a normal 

 crop, owing to cold weather. Rowen and fall feed are about as 

 usual. Fall seeding is rather late, but much is now being done. 

 Potatoes have yielded fairly, with some rot. The prospect is good 

 for root crops, celery and other late market-garden crops. Apples
