EEPOKT. 



The exhibition is remarkable for the uniform excellence of the 

 specimens and the general good character of the varieties exhibited. 

 Nearly all the specimens are in a state of most perfect preservation, 

 and afford additional proof of the late-keeping quality of Maine 

 apples.

 excluding these from further competition, have indicated the best 

 collections from each of the several counties from which there is 

 more than one collection, in the same manner. We have also indi- 

 cated in some instances the best and second best dishes of the prin- 

 cipal varieties.
