THE ILLINOIS FAEMER. 



Nov. 



Largest ten Pears — G. H. Baker, Dutchess de 

 Argoualeme. 



In connection tvith this report, the Committee 

 beg to remark, that the want of proper care in 

 the arrangement and classification of the fruits 

 by the exhibitors, compelled us to overlook sorao 

 fine varieties. Wenot'co, with regref, that some 

 of the finest were not entered at all, and thut 

 the groat distance that separated the sevoral lots 

 in competition from the southern limits of Illi- 

 nois to the center of Iowa, necessarily caused a 

 great difference in the degree of developmen'', 

 ripeneSB, and consequent perfectness of the fruit, 

 aa the ripeness of the pear above, almost every 

 other fruit, is affected by climate.
