 russet pearmain, and greening apples. 



From Stephen Salisbury, FiSq., clingstone peaches; a nameless 

 pear; Roxbury russet, Baldwin, Nonsuch, areeninjis, and a name- 

 less apple; also, a beautiful kind of small yellow gourd, which look- 

 ed so much like pears as justly to maintain a place amonj^ the plates 

 of that fruit. From N. C. Moore, sweet russets, fine Lyscom ap- 

 ples, Marlboro', beautiful quince apple, Rhode Island greening, Rox- 

 bury ru-^set, and Nonsuch apples. From Capt. Southgate, of Lei-

 fine late rareripe peaches; a large cluster of orange quinces, and 

 some apple quinces. From Col. Nyuqjiias Pratt, of Shrewsbury, 

 greening, nameless sweeting. Nonpareil, Baldwin, and Roxbury rus- 

 set apples. From Nathan Howe, of Shrewsbury, a fruit called 

 Conie's apple. Asaph Andrews, of the same excellent fruit growing 

 town, exhibited a Josephine pear, which it was gratifying to find, as 

 it is one of the new Flemish pears, valuable for winter eating. The 

 orchard and garden of Henry Snow, Esq., of Shrewsbury, who pays 

 much and well rewarded attention to the production of fruits, sent 

 fine examples of orange quince; very large red cheeked Melacaton 

 peaches; Lyscom, pearmain, Nonpariel, spice, Potr)mewater, Bald- 

 win, and Nonsuch apples. Daniel Tenney, Esq., of Sutton, exhib- 

 ited fine Harvey ap|)les, a fine looking russet without a name, but 

 which a|)peared to be the same with the nameless apple of Hon. 

 Daniel Waldo, though considered by Major Tenney a seedling; also, 

 another unnamed apple. Shrewsliury again appeared by Charles 

 E. Miles, and brought in large orange quinces; Rhode Island green- 

 ing, spice (entered as Lyscom,) Hapgood, and Baldwin ajiples. By 

 Ephraim Hapgood, Hapgood, Lyscom, and Baldwin apples. 



Cyrus Daniels, of Leicester, sent some quinces; if the season has 

 not been favorable for the abundant production of this fruit, it cer- 

 tainly has matured wonderful s[)ecimens, and among those found on 

 the Society's tables, were some of every known variety, and proba- 

 bly never surpassed in size and beauty. From Horatio Slocumb, of 

 Sutton, seven plates of apples, all of merit; Roxbury russets raised 

 in 1841, with a fresh and sound look, Porter, pearmain, Roxbury 

 russet, black Gilliflower, Rhode Island greenings, and Baldwins. 

 Paine Aldrich, Esq. exhibited two plates of splendid apples, i'resh 

 from the banks of Niagara river, U|)per Canada, just above the 

 Falls; their beauty was not itnpaired by the long journey they had 

 made, and they were fresh as if still washed by the s|)ray of the 

 tumbling floods; one of the apples was identified as the Fameuse or 

 Canada Snow, originally a seedling of that Province, and of which 

 those who read the description in Kenrick's Orchardist, will wish to 

 know more. S. M. Burnside, Esq. sent plates of very large green- 

 ing apples. A good looking seedling apple, by Silas Flagg. From 

 William Barbour, some handsome native fruit, sweeting, and Pomme- 

 water apples.
