The Annual Exhibition of this society was held in connec¬ 
tion with the State Agricultural Society, and closed the 29th 
of September. 
The State Society’s largest tent was devoted exclusively to 
.. 
the use of the Fruit Growers—and under the superintendence 
of A. G. Hanford and Lady, the internal arrangement was all 
that could be desired. A table two hundred and ten feet long, 
by four and a half in width, was erected around the margin of 
* - * 
the tent; also a fruit and flower stand through the center, 
forming table and shelf room one hundred feet long by five in 
width, enclosing, by their arrangement in the centre of the 
tent, two rooms about ten feet square, used respectively for 
the boxes and trunks of the Fruit Growers, and as a reception 
room for the Ladies and Fruit Committees in attendance. 
The display of fruit was the finest and largest the State has 
1*/ a 
ever made. Fruit was also very highly colored, so much so as 
to deceive many good judges. The list of varieties was very 
large, and many which have heretofore been classed poor—R. 
I. Greenings and Baldwins—showed samples which even their 
native States would fail to equal, should they attempt a com- 
petition.
