Kespectfully submitted for the Committee 



JOHN M. IVES- 



APPLES. 



This part of the fair is an entire success. Considering the 

 limited number of towns which have contributed to this de-" 

 partment, no show of former years excelled, if any equalled 

 the present. 



Among so many perfect specimens of so many varieties, the 

 Committee found it diiRcult, almost impossible, to discriminate. 

 The entries were all good, added much to the exhibition, and 

 do great credit to the contributors. 



Several seedling varieties were entered, which appear to be 

 valuable — would be especially so if winter sorts. 



The Committee award the following premiums, of $1 each;, 

 for best plates, twelve each, of the kinds named : — 

 Garden Eoyal, Moody Ordway, West Newbury, 

 Porter, D. Haskell, Georgetown. 

 Baldwin, T, C. Thurlow, W. Newbury. 

 Kibston Pippin, A. Brown, Danvers.
