potatoes is large, but the crop suffered from rot. The prospect 

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

 Apple crop small and poor in quality ; pears fair ; no peaches ; 

 grapes medium ; cranberries injured by frost. 



Hanson (F. S. Thomas, M. D.) Indian corn is a good ci'op. 



Rowen and fall feed are up to the usual average. The usual 

 amount of fall seeding has been done and is in good condition. 

 No onions worth mentioning are raised. Potatoes are a good yield 

 but are rotting badly. Fruit is not turning out very well. The 

 " freeze " of the 22d and 23d finished gardens. 



Kingston (George L. Churchill). — Indian corn is an average 

 crop. Rowen and fall feed are up to the usual average. Less 

 than the usual amount of fall seeding has been done. Onions will 

 give a very small crop. Potatoes are a very fair crop. The 

 prospect is very fair for root crops, celery and other late market- 

 garden crops. Apples are not plenty and cranberries only a fair 

 crop . 



Plympton (Winthrop Fillebrown) . — Where seed was good 

 there has been an excellent crop of corn. Rowen is not up to the 

 average as the first crop was cut late. Fall seeding is looking 

 very well indeed and about the usual amount has been put in. 

 Onions have proved a very successful crop this year. Potatoes 

 have not yielded well and rot has been quite prevalent. Root 

 crops and celery pi'omise better than average yields. Apples are 

 only a fair crop; peaches a failure; grapes a very good crop. 

 There was a good showing of cranberries on bogs not injured by 

 the hailstorm of the early summer, but the heavy frost injured a 

 large amount of these. 



Rochester (Geo. H. Randall). — Corn is about an average 

 crop. Rowen and fall feed are rather better than average crops. 

 Less than the usual amount of fall seeding has been done and it is 

 in very good condition. Onions are about three-fourths of an 

 average crop. Potatoes are a smaller crop than was expected and 

 much rot and scab are reported. Early apples and Baldwins have 

 yielded fairly well ; pears and grapes average crops ; peaches but 

 few ; cranberries generally better than expected, but some bogs 

 badly damaged by frost. The prospect is very good for root crops, 

 celery and other late market-garden crops. 



BARNSTABLE COUNTY. 



Bourne (David D. Nye). — Indian corn compares favorably 

 with a normal crop. Rowen and fall feed are fully up to the usual 

 average. The usual amount of fall seeding has been done and it
