Haverhill, Mass., Aug. (I, 1896. 

 This is to certify that I have measured the land on which 

 grew the crop of blackberries entered for premium by 

 Amos Haseltine, and find it to contain forty-six and twen- 

 ty-four hundredth square rods. (46.24 sq. rds.)

statement of a crop of currants grown by AMOS 

 HASELTINE, OF HAVERHILL, IN 1896. 



The crop of currants I enter for premium, was grown on 

 bushes set in the springs of 1892,-B and 4, and the varieties 

 were Fa3^ Cherry, Victoria and Wliite Grape. A part of 

 the bushes were entered for premium in the years 1894 and 

 1895, and for former cultivation and crops see Essex Coun- 

 ty Transactions for those years. Thus far the crops have 

 mostly been from the Victoria and White Crape. Last 

 winter the frost hove out the roots of many bushes which 

 seemed to make them weak and sickly and many have died.
