32 STATE POMOLUGICAL SOCIETY. 



Special Premiums. 

 By G. B. Sawyer, Secretary - f State Pomological Society. 



For the best six varieties of pears for home use, in succession, 

 five specimens of each to be exhibited, one copy "Thomas' Amer- 

 ican Fruit Culturist ;'' to Henry Ingalls, Wiscasset, (Clapp's Favor- 

 ite, Bartlett, Belle Lucrative, Louise Bonne de Jersey, Seckel and 

 Lawrence.) 



Several exhibitors did not present enough of correctly named 

 varieties to entitle them to the premium for which they entered 

 them. Others lacked the required number of specimens, render- 

 ing it necessary to exclude them from competition. It only re- 

 mains for your Committee to add, that the thanks of the Society 

 are due to Messrs. E. C. Andrews, J. S. Bedlow, Dr. E. Clark, P. 

 Duffee, Edward Gould, J. Maxwell, H. I. Robinson and G. W. 

 Rich of Portland, A. M. Baker and S. P. Bacholder of Deering, 

 Calvin Spaulding of Ilallowell, Henry McLaughlin of Bangor, and 

 J. M. Knight of Wiscasset, each of whom made a display of pears 

 which contributed much to the interest and success of the exhibi- 

 tion.
