pie named Autumn sweeting. Samuel Perry exhibited Winter rus- 

 set sweetiugs. It was matter of surprise that this fine variety has 

 been so little disseminated. No particular name appears to be claim- 

 ed for it. Dr. B. F- Heywood's Isabella grapes were not distanced 

 by those previously mentioned; his two varieties of seedling apples 

 were worthy of names. He also exhibited Lyscom apples, Peck's 

 pleasants, and a basket of Burgundy pears, (being the only contrib- 

 utor of this variety,) whose tempting richness of color was found to 

 be equalled by the fine quality of the fruit. Mrs. Conant, of Ster- 

 ling, sent a dish of fine autumn dessert apples, which were identified 

 as the "Connecticut River Seek-no-further," and were the only ex- 

 amples of that variety in the Hall. From Alfred D. Foster, Esq. 

 were remarkably good blue pearmains, autumn Bergamot, and a 

 pear recorded nameless, but identified by a cultivator as the Tilling- 

 ton. 



Dr. John Park contributed some fine seedling peaches, named, 

 from their texture and color, "Alabaster clingstone;" a splendid dish 

 of Porter apples attracting all eyes, Baldwins, and Golden russets. 

 Fine varieties of apples were sent by Isaac Flagg, Esq., viz: Golden 

 russet, Hubbardston Nonsuch, Gloria Mundi, black Gdliflower, 

 Rhode Island greenin<js, Porter, russet pearmain, Spitzemberg Bel- 

 den, some nameless, and a remarkable cluster of Baldwins. Maj. S. 

 Burt's fruit is a subject of commendation for its excellence; the vari- 

 eties were blue pearmain, Leicester winter svveetimrs (a rare and 

 valuable fruit;) brown Beurre, St. Michael and Seckel pears. Hen- 

 ry K. Newcomb, sent good brown Beurre, and Dix pears, and two 

 varieties without names. D. W. Lincoln produced superior Napo- 

 leon pears, Duchess d'Angouleme, Iron, St. Germain, Seckel, Easter

 ings, and large and very beautiful specimens of Lyscom and Porter 

 apples. From George T. Rice, good brown Beurre and Easter 

 Beurre pears. From David T. Brigham, Esq., a large and fine

 nary size and beauty. From Elisha Harkness, good s|)ecimens of 

 Golden russets, Roxbury, Baldwin, Rhode Island greenings, russet 

 pearmains. Nonsuch, russet sweetings, pumpkin ditto, and fine Isa-

 or to be a seedling, and some beautiful quinces. From Dr. H. G. 

 Davis, large, choice, and beautiful apples, from Rochester, N. Y.;
