and other late market-garden crops will give short yields. Apples 

 are half a crop; no peaches or pears; cranberries fair, A few new 

 apple orchards have been set out. 



PLYMOUTH COUNTY. 



Norwell (Henry A. Turner). — If there is not an early frost the 

 corn crop will be abundant. There is very little rowen, and fall feed 

 is rather short. Very little fall seeding has been done. Onions are 

 about a normal crop. Potatoes are about normal in yield, and of 

 good quality. Root crops, celery and other late market garden-crops 

 are backward and small for the season. Apples are a short crop; 

 grajDes and cranberries good crops. Not many apple trees have been 

 set out in recent years. 



MarshfieJd (John H. Bourne). — On some low lands Indian corn 

 is a normal crop, but more fields show half a crop, with 70 per cent 

 an average for the whole. Rowen and fall feed are not up to the 

 average, but grass is grov/ing very rapidly since the rains. Very 

 little seeding has been done, but many are just sowing. Onions are a 

 short crop. Potatoes are not more than half a crop, but the quality 

 is said to be very good. Most root crops are small, but celery prom- 

 ises well. All fruits except cranberries are small crops; cranberries 

 nearly average. A few have set large apple orchards and intend to 

 set more still, the interest being rather greater than formerly. 



Duxbury (R. T. Randall). — Indian corn is not up to the normal. 

 Rowen is not very thick. Not as much fall seeding as usual has been 

 done, but it is in good condition. Onions are a normal crop. Pota- 

 toes are a good crop, with no rot as yet. Not much celery is grown; 

 other late market-garden crops -as usual. Apples are a poor crop; 

 very few pears, peaches and grapes. Cranberries are plenty, but 

 later than usual. Very few apple trees are set out in this locality. 



Bridgewater (Rowland Cass). — Corn is below the average in fodder 

 and grain. There is no rowen except on low land, and that is below 

 the average. But very little seeding has been done as yet. Very few 

 onions are grown in this locality, and the yield is below the normal. 

 Potatoes are below the normal in yield, but are of good quality. Root 

 crops are backward, but with favorable weather the outlook is good. 

 There seems to be a good yield of apples, pears and grapes. No new 

 apple orchards are set out, but a few trees are set every year. 



Plympton (Winthrop Fillebrown). — Indian corn is about an 

 average crop, far better than was expected. Rowen and fall feed are 

 hot up to the usual average. Very little fall seeding has been done 

 this year. Onions are small, but of good quality. Potatoes are turn- 

 ing out better than expected. Market-garden crops are doing very 

 well. Grapes are plenty, and cranberries about an average crop. 

 Very little setting out of apple trees has been done of late years.
