APPLES. 



The Committee find it very difficult to do justice to all the 

 contributors to this department of the Fair, owing to the 

 limited time they have to do their work, and the great num- 

 ber of plates of apples, and the great number of varieties 

 presented to them for inspection. Every plate of fruit pre- 

 sented for inspection was good and worthy of a premium or a 

 gratuity, a fact that speaks well for the apple growers of Essex 

 County. We hardly know where to stop awarding prizes, but 

 are compelled to do so for lack of funds. 



For the best twelve specimens of the following varieties 

 which are recommended for cultivation in Essex County, your 

 Committee have awarded premiums of three dollars each : 



T. J. King, West Newbury, Baldwins; T. J. King, West
