 Fruits : The principal fruit exhibited was grapes, and the specimens 

 were all good, and some of them superior to any ever before shown at the 

 room, particularly at so early a period. Mr. J. F. Allen sent a profusion 

 of kinds, numbering upwards of thirty. The most splendid specimens 

 were from Messrs. Hovey & Co. and T. Needham, and we hardly knew 

 which to admire most, the Victoria from the former, or the Cannon Hall 

 from the latter ; the clusters weighed about two and a half founds each, the 

 berries very large, and the Victoria fully colored ; Mr. Needham also sent 

 some fine berries of Wilmot's Black Hamburgh, but the clusters were 

 small. Mr. Allen had a bunch of the Chasselas Musqu6, which was finely 

 grown. Mr. 0. Johnson sent a dish of beautifully colored and good sized 

 Coolidge's Favorite peaches. Of strawberries, as we have before re- 

 marked, the show was not large ; the kinds were principally Hovey's Seed- 

 ling and Boston Pine, of which Mr. Richardson sent some fine specimens, 

 particularly of the latter. Messrs. Johnson and Aspinwall also sent fine 

 Hovey's Seedlings. 



From O. Johnson, Coolidge's Favorite peaches, and Hovey's Seedling 

 and Prolific Hautbois strawberries. From A. Aspinwall, Hovey's Seed- 

 ling strawberries. From W . C. Strong, four varieties of grapes. From 

 J. Y. Allen, thirty-two sorts of grapes, among which were Black Ham- 

 burgh, Wilmot's Black Hamburgh, Chasselas Musque, Chasselas Rose, 

 Chasselas Red, (?) Muscat of Lunel, Muscat of Alexandria, Tottenham 

 Park Muscat, Violet Muscat, (?) Austrian Muscat, St. Peters of Aliers,
