Supplementing the program, there was an excellent display 

 of fruits and nursery stock voluntarily brought together without 

 any stimulus of valuable premiums. Besides a beautiful display of 

 Henderson County fruit, many local growers showed specimens of 

 standard Kentucky varieties of apples, and Stark Brothers of 

 Missouri exhibited handsome boxes of the varieties of which they 

 make a specialty, particularly the Delicious and Stayman. 



W. P. Stark & Co., and several Kentucky nurserymen made at- 

 tractive and instructive exhibits of nursery stock, especially fine 

 displays being made by Donaldson & Co., of Sparta; H. F. Hillen- 

 meyer & Sons, of Lexington, and W. A. Sandefur, of Henderson 

 County. 



Considerable interest was shown in an assemblage of named 

 varieties of pecans contributed by Mr. J. F. Wilkinson, of Rock- 

 port, Indiana, some of these nut varieties having originated upon 

 the Kentucky side of the Ohio river, and others in southern Ind- 

 iana.
