tion by Mr. Kellogg. In this collection was a large and fine dis¬ 
play of grapes. Took the first prize. All well ripened. 
A. G. Tuttle, of Baraboo, did not like the idea of being out¬ 
done, and he was on hand with an unusual fine display of 63 va¬ 
rieties of apples, and took first premium. Sauk county, perhaps, 
can beat the world ; one thing is certain, the fruit from that sec¬ 
tion seems to be very fine, and hard to compete against. His 
three Fameuse, as well as largest apple, carried off the prize. Mr. 
Tuttle’s grapes were fine, but only took the third prize. 
W. Wolf had 58 varieties of apples, and took the fourth pre¬ 
mium. Mr. Wolf is an enthusiastic cultivator. Showed frhe heavi¬ 
est apple and took the second premium on pears. Hope to see 
him again, with plenty of his German friends. 
H. M. Thompson, of St. Francis, had on exhibition ten varieties 
of well grown and correctly named apples, and five varieties of 
grapes, which last took third premium. 
Mrs. Alex. Mitchell, by her gardener, James Pollard, exhibited 
a fine collection of peaches, grown in tubs, under glass. These 
proved quite an attraction, for many looked upon them as the first 
fruit of the kind ever seen growing. Mrs. Mitchell’s foreign 
grapes were also very attractive. 
C. H. Greenman, of Milton, had the best collection, by far, of 
grapes. Others had more varieties, but these were particularly 
well ripened, and bunches very perfect. Took the first prize. 
A singular coincidence in the premiums on grapes was that, in 
every case, whether single variety or more, the Delaware was in 
tbe list, thus showing the very high estimate that was placed 
upon it. 
J. H. Jones, of Milwaukee, took the second premium on for¬ 
eign grapes, shown on the vine growing in the boxes, and attract¬ 
ed a great deal of attention. 
L. Woodard & Co., of Marengo, Ill., exhibited 85 varieties of 
correctly named apples. These were not strictly in competition 
with the other exhibitors, as the State Society only opened their 
doors to those of the state; but the committee, in view of the 
superior merit of this collection, awarded a gratuitous premium 
equal to the first. 
The Non-Professional Cultivators were out in very good force.
