4 Stone itis otek few peaches and plums were sent to the 
exposition. There were but very few varieties of European plums 
in the Station orchard that fruited in 18938; those which were 
shipped were chiefly of American or Japanese origin. | 
5 Pomaceous Fruits.— Seventeen varieties of pears and ninety 
seven varieties of apples and crab-apples were sent to the 
exposition. 
6 Grapes.— One hundred and fifty-four kinds of grapes were 
placed on exhibition ; six of these were from wild vines native to 
America, and 148 were cultivated varieties. All were grown in — 4 
the station vineyards which contain eighteen species of wild 
vines and 239 cultivated sorts, including several station seedlings 
which have borne fruit. 
7 Sprayed fruit Samples of fruiting branches and of fruit 
from sprayed and unsprayed pear trees were forwarded to a ee 
at various times during the season: 
The vegetable exhibit made by this Station at Chicago was of 
especial interest and importance, since by its aid New York State 
was enabled to keep a constant exhibit of fresh vegetables through- 
out the season, and was the only State that did this. The nature 
of this exhibit is fully discussed in the Horticulturist’s report in 
another portion of this volume. The summary of the exhibits 
herewith given will serve to show their number and variety. It 
includes those sent to the State Fair at Syracuse, since during 
that week no shipments were made to Chicago.
