Report of Committee on 2d Division of Fruits. 



The committee found the finest lot of fruit ever shown in their division, 

 each entry fit for a premium. Mr. Little kindly explained his treatment of 

 his orchard: Soil, a deep loam, with considerable sand. Manure, ashes and 

 hen manure with slops of the house. Trees stand in grass. Stable manure 

 fresh, injurious to the trees and fruit. Mr. Bartholomew's statement: Trees, 

 well cut back bel'ore planted. Soil, a gravelly state. Manure, ashes and slops 

 of the house; fresh stable manure highly injurious. Trees cut back each year 

 when they have made much growth. 



Your committee think that a statement of the care of soil and manner of 

 cultivation would be a great help to many members of the society. 



Yours, ' George W. Parrish.
