 notice by the exertions of the Society. 



The plants were furnished by Mr LOWELL, Mr PRATT, by the 

 Botanic Garden at Cambridge, by Mr ASPINWALL of Brookline, Mr 

 LEATHE of Cambridge, Mr LEMIST of Roxbury, Mr HAGGERSTON 

 of Charlestown, Mr PRINCE of Jamaica Plains, Mr BREED of Lynn, 

 Messrs WINSHIPS of Brighton, and many other gentlemen in this 

 vicinity. Mr PRATT'S splendid collection of Mexican Georginas was 

 unrivalled. The show of fruits and flowers, generally, was probably 

 never surpassed in New England. It would be unpleasant to make 

 any invidious comparisons where all exhibited such satisfactory speci- 

 mens ; but in the opinion of many, the grapes of Mr COOK and Mr 

 FOSDICK, raised in the open air, and the green house grapes of 

 Messrs DEAN, PERKINS, and SULLIVAN, deserved particular com- 

 mendation. 



A large box of very fine peaches, nectarines and pears, sent by 

 Mr WILSON of New York, were received too late for the dinner, in 

 consequence of the detention of the steam boat.
