 State Agricultural Society, at their last Annual Meeting, 

 with a, list of Fruits which the Executive Committee rec- 

 ommend as worthy of general cultivation. By A Corre-

The Joint Committee of the New York State Agricultural 

 Society, chosen, in 1846, to select a list of such fruits, for rec-

 into consideration the varied soils and climates of the State, 

 made a report, in part, in January, 1847. They then re- 

 ported a list of apples, which was published in the 2\ansac-

 and those of them present at the late annual meeting, held at 

 Albany, viz : Lewis F. Allen, Esq., of Erie Co., Dr. Herman 

 Wendell, and Dr. E. Emmons, of Albany Co., reported the 

 annexed list of fruits to be added to the list heretofore recom- 

 mended. The State Society resolved to have a standing fruit 

 committee, who are to report, at each annual meeting, names 

 of varieties to be added to the lists, which, after ample trial, 

 they may deem worthy of reccommendation for general dis- 

 semination. The executive committee of the society have 

 also, on the recommendation of the above committee, adopted 

 a set of pomological rules for the guidance of their fruit com- 

 mittees, which is subjoined.
