 the finest exhibited. S. A. Shurtleff showed very fine Egg Plums. From 

 W. Thomas, fine Duchesse d'Angouleme and Bartlett Pears. From 

 S. & G. Hyde, fine Hubbardston Nonesuch Apples, Jaques Peaches, and 

 other fine fruit. 



Time would fail us to mention all the fine specimens of fruit on 

 the tables, but we must not forget the very fine Duane's Purple Plums, 

 from Joseph Atkinson, Lynn ; nor the fine Porter Apples from John 

 Owen; nor the Reine Claude Violette Plums, from J. M.Ives ; nor the 

 beautiful Grapes from Mr. Arnold ; nor the very fine specimens of Pears 

 and other fruit from J. F. Allen. There were many other highly merito- 

 rious specimens of fruits in the contributions of other gentlemen, deserving 

 of notice, but our memory fails us to particularize farther. The following
