From RURAL NEW YORKER : NOTES FROM AMERICAN INSTITUTE FAIR. NUTS, GRAPES AND VEGETABLES. One feature of the American Institute Fair that attracted much attention was the display of nuts made by Parrys* Pomona Nurseries, Parry, N. J.

For which display we were awarded " The Medal of Excellence," also a special Diploma for a highly meritorious exhibit of improved edible nuts. WTXJT CULTURE. Plant Nut Trees Instead of the Nuts.
