Kepokt on the Exhibition of Feuit at the Winter 



Meeting. 



The Committee appointed at the Winter Meeting of the 

 Maine State Pomological Society, held at Winthrop on the 

 27th and 28th days of February, 1878, to examine and re- 

 port upon the fruit exhibited at said meeting, submit the fol- 

 lowing report : 



J. Pope & Son of Manchester, exhibited eight varieties of 

 apples, viz : Baldwin, Minister, Peck's Pleasant, King of 

 Tompkins Coimty, Canada Red, Mother, Talman's Sweet and 

 Ladies' Sweet. The Baldwins, Peck's Pleasant, Ladies' Sweet 

 and Canada Red, were fine specimens. The specimens of King 

 of Tompkins Coimty, although past their prime, were con- 

 sidered worthy of favorable mention. 



Alfred Smith of Monmouth, exhibited eight varieties of 

 apples, viz : Roxbury Russets, Hubbardston Nonsuch, Bald- 

 win, Rhode Island Greening, Cooper's Market, Talman's 

 Sweet and Jewett's Fine Red — all fair specimens. The last 

 named, considering the season, was a fine apple, while the 

 Hubbardstons were of superior merit. Cooper's Market was 

 a fine appearing apple, but concerning its merits as a variety 

 but little is at present known. 



A. C. Carr of Winthrop, exhibited three plates of Bald- 

 wins, one plate of Rhode Island Greenings, and one plate of 

 Winthrop Greenings, all of which were of remarkable size 

 and symmetry, and of very attractive appearance, 



L. K. Litchfield of Winthrop, exhibited two plates of Bald- 

 wins and one dish of Soulard Crabs, the latter of which were 

 marked by the exhibitor as worthless.
