On the above we suggest that where fairs offer in excess of $20 for each variety the exhibits be made in five-box (single tier layer), growers to be the exhibitors, and that first, second, third and fourth prizes be offered. 2. That we deem next in importance the ten varieties named in section 2, and, where possible, should also be shown in single tier boxes or trays, entries to consist of three to five trays, and exhibitors to be growers: King of Tompkins County, Gano, Delicious,
