APPLES AND OTHER FRUITS. 



Your Coramittee think the thanks of the Societj' are espccially 

 due to the Messrs. Clapp of Dorchester, Hon. Otis Cary of Fox- 

 boro', and Mr. Joseph Crane of Dedham for Apples ; Messrs. J. 

 W. Brooks and W. H. Forbes of Milton, and W. J. Stuart of 

 Hyde Park, for Grapes. Mr. Crane would have been entitled to 

 the first premium for a collection of apples if he had exhibited the 

 number of dishes and number of apples to a plate required by your 

 Regulations. To Hon. Otis Cary we are indebted for specimens 

 of fifty varieties of apples from Nebraska and twenty from the Fruit 

 Grower's Association of Canada — all perfect. The Messrs. Clapp. 

 who always do well, we may safely and truly say excelled them- 

 selves. Their dishes of apples would have done credit to any ex- 

 hibition at any fair, in one of our most fruitful seasons.
