FOREIGN FRUITS. 



The California State Agricultural Society added to her fame 

 largely by sending us a fine collection of her choice fruits. 



There were twenty-six varieties of apples, very large, being 

 the leading choice fruit of the State, which included Rhode 

 Island Greenings, 14 inches ; Fall Pippins, 13i inches ; Yellow 

 Bellflowers, 13 inches ; English Russets, 10 inches ; Baldwins, 

 13 inches; Rambos, 13 inches in circumference, which were 

 grown by Mr. Greenlaw of the State Society. There were also 

 seven kinds of pears, some of them 13 inches around, and 

 others weighing one pound each. 



The collection included seventeen kinds of grapes. Tlie 

 Muscat was represented by a bunch containing single grapes 

 over one inch in diameter ; also single clusters of Flaun Tokay 

 weighing four pounds, and of Black Lombardy five and a half 

 pounds each. 



The State Pomological Society certainly is very grateful for 

 the good will expressed by .the Californians in thus remember- 

 ing it, and the amicable relations thus commenced will doubt- 

 less continue ever.
