 tives, the Catawba, Isabella, and what is known in this locality by the 

 name of the Foote Grape, an early and rich variety ; also the Lyman Grape, 

 the most hardy and prolific of all grapes, and perhaps the most worthy of 

 cultivation in our climate. These fruit gardens of Messrs. Torrey, How- 

 ard and Pomeroy are all worthy of notice and commendation. Yet we 

 have seen no o-^chard or fruit garden but what might and should be greatly 

 improved. We allow to each of these gentlemen, in lieu of premiums, a 

 copy of Gardner's Farmers' Dictionary. We have not been called upon to 

 examine any forest trees. — David Ii(Md,for the CommiUee.
