yet the interest displayed in sucli specimens as were presenta- 

 ble was ample proof that the efforts made to secure the repre- 

 sentation of foreign fruits at our Fair was in no way a failure, 

 and that in the future the exhibitions of our Society may be 

 embellished with the results of the labor of our brothers of 

 other States, That our fruits may in return be sent abroad, 

 and that the experience of this endeavor may be conduciye to 

 the happy consummation of these results, is the sincere wish 



of your delegates,
