The apples are well developed-only a few showing blemishes. 

 The boxed apples were well graded, and the fact that all, excepting 

 one box, were packed four tier, led your Committee to notice the 

 size of many of the plate specimens. AVe hasten to say that size 

 is not everything, but size is, we have been told, the one thing lack- 

 ing in eastern apples. We determined the circumference of many 

 of the specimens exhibited, and wish to place on record the follow- 

 ing: 



Summer Rambo, .... 12^ in. 



Cole 13 " 



Stayman Winesap, . . .12 



King, I2>^ 



Rome Beauty, 12 " 



Nero, lojA " 



Stark, 12 " 



Black Twig, 12 



Paradise, 11 " 



Summer Rambo, 13 



And we might continue the investigation as to size with cor- 

 responding figures. We know that even figures can be made to lie, 

 but the figures given can be verified, and will be found in nearly all 

 cases quite conservative. 



Given color and finish, such as these exhibits show, plus size, 

 and above all, quality, such apples will command the best market? 

 not only in the east, but evervwhere.
