well. The White Winter Pearmain, Yellow Bellflower, and Jonathan apples 

 are among those that have done the best; also the Bartlett and Winter Nelis 

 pears. Plums and cherries have been tried, and have done well, also a 

 few small fruits. 



Report of W. D. Morris, Lookout. 



My section of country is rapidly coming to the front in the growing of 

 fine apples, plums, and pears; also all the smaller varieties are.. excellent 

 in quality and flavor. The names of the different varieties leave me " at 

 sea," because I never gave that matter a thought. Considering the climate 

 apples, pears, and plums thrive best. 



All the hardier varieties of small fruits do well here, such as are raised 

 in similar latitudes in the Eastern States. 



Report of H. L. Merry field, Eagleville. 



This district is just beginning to become a fruit country. Many small 

 new orchards have been planted the past season, mostly of apples, pears, 

 gooseberries, currants, and strawberries, but the fruits chiefly planted are 

 and must be hardy fruits, for only such could stand our climate.
