less infected with rust and lacking in color. It was also found to be a
difficult matter to get shipments to St. Louis in good condition.

There were liberal quantities of such varieties as were shown, a list of
which appears following the list of exhibitors.


QUINCES

The crop of 1904 was unusually small and inferior in quality.
Nevertheless a fairly good exhibit was made.

The varieties shown appear following the list of exhibitors.


CURRANTS

It was impossible to make a general display of small fruits, owing to
the distance from New York to St. Louis. Four varieties of currants were
shown, however, the Perfection Currant, from C. G. Hooker, of Rochester,
excelling in size, quality and flavor any currant exhibited.

A list of varieties appears following the list of exhibitors.


GOOSEBERRIES

The gooseberry crop was a total failure in New York, and only one small
exhibit was made of the Downing.
