FRITT. — The Messrs. Hovey presented two large basket' 

 of Uovey's Seedling and Boston Pine Strawberries. The 



berries Were very large, and \\in flavor dilumuj. Ilovcy'n 

 .Seedling i* well kiiowu to eullivalors Ibrniigh the length and 

 breudlh nf the land, and we sUnll be greaily iiii>laken if (ha 

 Boston Pine it not found, in n few yearH, in a very ,;oo<1 col- 

 lection. It is perfect in its orgaus, and will prodiicu a 

 large crop. We rocummeiid both the varieties as detcrving 

 of exieiisivc cullivalion. 



AVilliam Gordon, of New-Bedford, by the politene»« »f 

 Benjamin Rodmiui, Ksq , a box of Gordon's Seedling, color 

 luid size fine, flavor only second rate. 



Otis Johnson, of Lynn, three boxes of Hovey's Sccdl'Mtg 

 Strawberries, (fine.) 



Joseph Richardson, Cambridgeport, three boxes of Hovey's 

 Seedling, and two boxes of seedling Strawberries. We 

 think sohiewbat favorably of these seedlings, but wish fur- 

 ther specimens before we give aii opinion. 



Fine specimen.s of Ilovey's Seedling, and also a large 

 dark colored seedling by Mr. Fuy. 



Wni. Meller, of Roxbury, Seedling Wood Strawberries. 



J. L. L. F. Warren, of Brighton, Jenney's Seedling : 

 Moitier's do. ; Hovey's do. ; Willey's do. Also Red aiiil 

 White Woo<l Strawberries. The specimens of the ^Vhlte 

 Wootl were the best we ever saw. The Jenney's and Mot- 

 tier's Seedling are very acid, and are not worthy of cultiva- 

 tion. These two varieties, as also the Willey's, we think 

 are better adapted to a souihirn climate. Mr. \Varren also 

 presented specimens of the May Duke aiid Karly Bigarreau 

 Cherries. 



J. Fisk Allen, of Salem, again graced our tables witli a 

 choice collection of his early Green House Grapes. The 

 color and bloom of his specimens of Black Hamburg were 

 very fine. The Grizzly Frontignan is one of the highest 

 fiavor and quality ; to the lovers of fine and high flavored 

 fruit, this variety will commend itself when compared with 

 the Black Hamburg. W.a will only add it is one of the hexl 



Mr. Allen also exhibited specimens of the Zinfindel Grapes. 

 Two varieties of Peaches, also fine Nectarines ami Figs.
