 The Chairman of the Committee, Mr. F. Burr, remarks in his report that 

 " the display both of pot plants and cut flowers was good. Allowing for 

 the absence of hawthorns, azaleas, and peonies, — usually in flower at the 

 time of the opening of the hall, and which add greatly to any floral display, 

 — the exhibition would compare favorably with former years, and was very 

 satisfactory." 



Fruit: From J. F. Allen, Black Hamburg, Seedling Black Hamburg, 

 Pitmaston White Cluster, Macready's Early White, Early July, and 

 Musqu6 Verdel, a seedling. In a note Mr. Allen says : " These grapes (the 

 four first named) being the earliest of any value for forcing, are presented 

 the committee to test. The Musque Verdel is a seedling of mine (not 

 hardy,) which has fruited now for the sixth season. It is, in my estimation, 

 of the most delicious flavor — not surpassed by any grape." The committee 

 were unanimously of the same opinion, having tested the grape for several 

 seasons, also, Hunt's Early Tawny nectarines and May Duke and Elton 

 cherries. 



Vegetables : From J. B. Moore, Myatt's Linnseus and Victoria rhu- 

 barb. From T. Smallwood, Royal Cape lettuce. From Curtis & Lin- 

 coln, Perennial spinach. From B. Harrington, Tomato figs and Victoria 

 rhubarb. From L. Davis, asparagus.
