In addition to the above, the Committee regard a few other dishes as 

 worthy of mention and gratuity: 



E. E. Boyden, of Leominster, presents an excellent dish'of Graven- 

 stenis, for which we award SI 00. 



C. C. Boyden, of Leominster, presents a dish of fine Royal Gar- 

 dens, for which we also award $1 00. 



Ohio Whitney, Jr., of Ashburnham, presents what is regarded as a 

 new and valuable variety of apple, without name, wishing the Com- 

 mittee to give it one. Believing it worthy of cultivation and a name, 

 we propose to call it the "Sardine," and award him a gratuity for 

 the same, of $1 00. 



The Committee would here remark that the exhibition of apples has 

 been unusually fine for so scarce a season, there being over 260 plates 

 and dishes handsomely filled, many of them with specimens remarka- 

 bly large and fair. Your Committee would have been pleased to ex- 

 tend the awards to several other worthy contributors, had it been in 

 their power. In several instances it has been difl5cult to decide ex- 

 actly to whom the greater award was due, but, after careful and labori- 

 ous amination, usually came to a unanimous decision. 



PEACHES.

 of Fitchburg, Harris on Insects.
