Winter Snow of Fruit at Albast. — The display of fruit at the Winter Meeeting of 

 the Xew York State Agricultural Society was not large, but very fine. The committee of 

 arrangements had made ample and comfortable preparations both for exhibitors and 

 visitors ; and all present seemed to enjoy the occasion. We give tba following report from 

 one of the daily journals, the Albany Register: 



There was exhibited at the Hall of the State Agricultural Society yesterday, the greatest 

 variety of winter fruit ever collected in this city. The great bulk on exhibition came from the 

 western part of the State, and but little from this section. 



Ellwaxger & Barry, of Rochester had the greatest variety of Winter Pears, numberin'^ 40 

 diffei-ent kinds. It is said to be the greatest variety ever exhibited in the United States. They 

 also had 38 varieties of Winter apples, embracing some of the choicest fruits. T. G. Yeoma.vs 

 Walworth, Wayne county, 6 varieties of apples and 2 of pears. K & E. S. Hayward, Brisliton 

 . Monroe county, 26 varieties of apples 2 specimens of Isabella grapes — one kept in saw-dust and 

 the other in cotton. The former appeared the best preserved. Isaac Merritt, Penfield, Monroe 

 county, three varieties of apples. F. W. Lay, Greece, Monroe county, 11 varieties of apples. 

 Robert Brown, Greece, Monroe county, 20 varieties of apjjles. A. Frost, Rochestei', 24 vai'i-^iies 

 of apples. Judge Buel, Rochester, 5 varieties of apples. J. H. Watts, Rochester, 5 varieties of 

 apples. 



The Society did not offer any valuable premiums for Fruit ; but the committee were of the 

 opinion that the Executive Committee might be induced to give a few to those who have shown 

 so much zeal in getting together the greatest variety and choicest kinds of Winter Fruit. The 

 following premiums were awarded : 



Pears. — Ellwaxger & Barry, large Silver Medal. 



Apples. — Ellwanger <fe Barry, Diploma, copy of Downing's Fruits; T. G. Yeomans, coi v

 has afforded a very satisfactory demonstration of their utility.
