and Mr. Laws were of the best quality, and perfectly ripe. These gentlemen 

 deserve the greatest praise for their care in bringing the fruit to such per- 

 fection, and aflTording additional evidence of what can be done in the city in 

 cultivating the grape : indeed, the whole exhibited were excellent, and the 

 growers merit high approbation. 



Grapes exhibited by Dr. J. T. Sharpless were the white Frontignac, the 

 green and yellow Provence, and Chasselas of Fontainebleau. Malaga, by 

 Tobias Beehler, Marshal Street, were the finest of the kind exhibited. By 

 James Laws, the Fondantvert and Hanstretto were very fine, more especially 

 when we consider tlie season, being grown in the garden. By J. H. Seal, the 

 golden Chasselas ; the Alexandria, by H. Ballinger, John Sergeant, Esq., 

 Alexander Parker, and A. Peters ; the Isabella, by Alexander Parker and 

 J. H. Seal; the Hampton Court, by George Laws, Wm. S. Hansel, P. Penn 

 Gaskill, Peter Robins, and Joseph S. Madeiry ; the Powel, by J. Sergeant, 

 Esq. ; the Bland, by ditto ; the Catawba, by Mr. Heisser ; the Elssinboro', 

 by David Allan and A. Quicksale, Burlington, N. J. ; the golden Chasselas, 

 ditto ; the Miller, by J. Griffiths. All the above were raised without cover. 



Those by Nicholas Biddle, Esq., and Mr. Camac, were as fine as could be 

 produced, more particularly so when we consider that the vines are only two 

 years old, and growing in pots. Mi". Biddle has erected a very extensive grapery, 

 and, in a year or two, will be able to supply the market with thousands of 

 pounds of that luscious fruit. He who introduces any scientific discovery, 

 mechanical invention, or useful improvement, for the benefit of mankind, de- 

 serves far higher praise than the blood-stained hero who figures in the page 

 of history. Mr. Camac has caught the enthusiasm, and is building a large 

 grapery. The public is much indebted to such men for their liberality, as they 

 never can be remunerated for their expense. 



Tke Pears were excellent and large, giving another proof of what can be done 

 if only care, and a little more labour, were bestowed by our farmers in their 

 cultivation. The melons by Messrs. Jos. J. and Geo. J. Hatch of N. J., and 

 Jos. E. Scott of Burlington, N. J., were very superior in size and flavour, 

 and the Messrs. Hatch are entitled to all praise for the uniform excellence of 

 their yearly display. Nutmeg melons, by Mr. Riley, gardener to Pierce Butler, 

 Esq., were very large. 



Apples, by H. Hatch, Mr. Ralston ; A. Lippincott, N. J. ; A. d' Arras, 

 Horace Binney, Esq.; the pound pippins of J. Busby, N. J.; were very 

 large. 



Quinces, by Jacob Copia. Plums, by A. Parker. 



Peaches, extra fine, from Mr. 33. Bullock's garden, North Third Street ; 

 Joseph E. Scott, Burlington, N. J. ; Mr. Alberger ; Horace Binney, Esq. ; 

 Reeves and Ridgeway (Delaware) ; John Sergeant, Esq. ; and J. B. Smith. 



Seckel Pears, from H. Binney, Esq.; Samuel P. Wetherill, Burlington, N. J.; 

 A. d' Arras, and Mrs. Hibbert. 



Butter Pears, by H. Ballinger, Anthony Felton, and A. Parker. 



Doyenne Pear, by J. B. Smith, Esq. 



Vegetables. The vegetables generally merited the highest approbation; 

 more especially those exhibited by Mr. Anthony Felton, showing the great 

 <^aie, perseverance, industry, besides great expense, before they could be 

 brought to such perfection. Never was there a finer display of vegetables. 



Egg Plants, by Edwin A. Stephens, Bordentown ; Thomas Hancock, 

 Burlington, N. J. (the above were very large); R. Ralston of Mount Peace ; 

 Anthony Felton ; Wm. Camac, Esq. ; and Thomas Heiskel. 



Cabbage, by D. Maupy; Wm. Norris, Turner's Lane; Jacob Amor, N. J.; 

 and Anthony Felton. Alangold Wiirzel, by J. C. Jones, and Casper W. 

 Morris, Magnolia Farm. 5'«gar 5ee^, by Pierce Butler, and P. C. Wetherill. 

 Beets, by W. Norris, Turner's Lane; and A. Felton. Two very large ropes 

 of very superior onions, raised from seed by Mr. E. Kelley, gardener at the 

 United States' Naval Asylum, under the superintendence of Captain James 

 Cooper ; and also very fine by J. Beadle, gardener to Mr. Norris. Par!>neps,
