Your committee did not understand that they had the right to award any 

 discretionary premiums, although many very deserving specimens of pears 

 and quinces came under their inspection. All of which goes to show what 

 culture will do. Therefore they would say to growers of fruit, graft in large 

 standards, feed your trees, be generous, and you will reap a rich reward, a* 

 well in size as in quality. 



Respectfully submitted,
