 white Hambro-Muscat of Lunel Frankendale, Royal 

 Muscat of Alexandria, flame colored Tokay, black 

 Frontignac, Melacaton (native), white peaches 

 from the wall, Bromfield Nectarine, American, all 

 remarkably fine specimens, and some uncommon- 

 ly splendid. 



The Floral Decorations of the Hall, (which did 

 great credit to the taste of the Committee, who 

 performed that service), were furnished from the 

 Society's Garden at Mount Auburn by Mr. D. 

 Haggerston, by Messrs. Winship, Mr. Mason, 

 Mr. Walker, Mr. P. B. Hovey, jr., Mr. C. M. Hoy- 

 ey, Messrs. Kenrick, Dr. Webster, Henry Sheafe, 

 Esq. and others. Gen. Sumner, furnished some 

 fine purple Egg Plants for the Dinner. 



Eleven varieties, consisting of Apples, Pears, 

 Peaches, Plums, and Lemons of Artificial Fruits, 

 very nearly resembling natural ones, were exhibit- 

 ed by Mr. Nelson D. Jones, No. 21 Joy's Build- 

 ings, where the Society and others can see artifi- 

 cial specimens of the finest fruits. 



A large Orange Tree, in full bearing, exhibited 

 by Messrs. Willot and Wilson, attracted much at- 

 tention. By order of the Committee on Fruits, 

 &c. Edward M. Richards. 



Nicholas Longworth, Esq. of Cincinnati, Ohio, an 

 Honorary Member of the Society, sent two bottles 

 of native wine, the pure juice of the native grape, 

 which was very much admired, and was of excel- 

 lent quality. 



After dinner the following regular Toasts were 

 drank. 



Cultivators and Conquerors. The former would 

 make the whole world a Garden, the latter would 

 convert the " Great Globe" to a Golgotha. 



Let the Trumpet of Fame 



Resound with the name 



And deeds of the Tiller, 



But blast the ManHUer. 



Manual Labor Schools. Success to those lite- 

 rary and scientific establishments, which, by mix- 

 ing corporeal with intellectual exercitations, set the 

 seal on that true greatness, which consists of a 

 union of the most estimable qualities of liody and 

 Mind. 



Nullification. A Passion flower, planted in a 

 hot house, propagated by artificial heat, and matured 

 by fermenting substances. Let us hope that the 

 process of division may not change it into a " Tre- 

 mella nostor," or the " fallen Star." 



Office seekers for Office sake. Parasitic plants, 

 Creepers into party, Climbers into popularity, and 

 Twiners into power ; a Tribe, sometimes very orna- 

 mtntal to the people, always useful — to them- 

 selves. 



The Veterans o/'76. A few slips of the Elder, 

 grafted on the tree of Liberty. Their upright shoots, 

 did not need much training, to produce a collec- 

 tion of Scarlet runners. 



Ireland, the land of the Potato. The Root is 

 finely formed by Nature, but does not thrive by 

 being/breed. D'an Irishman is not allowed to eat 

 his Potatoes in peace at hgme, is it a wonder if he 

 is not mealy mouthed abroad ? 



The Promotion of Patriotism. If we wish our 

 citizens to love their country, we must make our 

 country lovely by manual, mental and moral culti- 

 vation. 



The Michael and Imperial Pear of Portugal. 

 Both called Royal, but as Good Christians, we de- 

 clare that they are neither of them worth half a 

 crown. 



The Gardener. His wealth will be found to lie 

 in his bed, provided he does not lie there loo long 

 himself. 



Gold Miiies. With a spade, a "hoe, and active 

 industry, every cultivator will find one in his kit- 

 chen garden. 



The Tree of American Liberty. An union of 

 twenty-four branches, supported by one trunk. It 

 is more than half a century old — and each suc- 

 ceeding year extends its foliage and deepens its 

 roots. 



Public Education. A tree of knowledge ; its 

 opening and expanding blossoms are budding be- 

 neath the genial sunshine of popular patronage. 

 Its supporters will reap the Fruits of an approving 

 conscience, that ' blesses the giver more than the 

 receiver.' 



Jfomcn, siveet herbs. In the summer of our ex- 

 istence, aromatic, as the Rosemary ; in the autumn, 

 grateful as the Lavender ; in the winter, balsamic 

 as the Sage — May the seasoning of domestic life 

 never he mixed with the sauce. 



VOLUNTEERS. 



By H. JI. S. Dearborn, Pres. of the Mass. Hor. 

 Society. The Orator of the Day — May we culti- 

 vate the fruits and flowers of our gardens with as 

 much zeal and success, as ' le h as those of litera- 

 ture and eloquence. 



• By the Hon. A. H. Everett, Orator of the Day. 

 The Horticultural Societies of Massachusetts and 

 her sister stales. We cannot wish them better for- 

 tune, than that their success should be equal to 

 the excellencies of their desserts. 



By Judge Story. The Massachusetts Horticul- 

 tural Society : Its native stock excellent, it foreign 

 grafts full of rich fruits, and its set-off of flowers 

 beautiful.

 Newburyport Horticultural Society ; present by in- 

 vitation of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society.

 folds the blossom, and ripens the fruit of science 

 and good morals. 



Sent by the Hon. T. H Perkins, with a contri- 

 bution of beautiful fruit. May our Domestic, as 

 well as our Horticultural Nurseries, produce fruit 

 which well deserves cultivation. 



By E. Bailey. " Office-seekers for the sake 

 of office," — borers who would destroy the tree of 

 Liberty. 



By Grant Thorburn, of New York. Bachelors : 

 Those sleepy Adams in the American gardens — 

 May they awake like their grandfather — see Genesis 

 2d chap, from the 21st to the 25 verse. 



The Original Laurie Todd. The Veteran Hor- 

 ticulturist and Seedsman, that commenced his ca- 

 reer, with two Geraniums, in green painted pots. 



By Charles Oakley, Esq. of New York, sent with 

 a box of valuable Fruits. The Friends of Horti- 

 culture and the Practical Gardeners of the East. 

 May they ever be prospered, not forgetting their 

 associates in other Climes. 



By Elisha Edwards, Esq. of Springfield, sent 

 with a large contribution of valuable Fruits. 



Agriculture, Horticulture and Floriculture, sub- 

 ject to the improving taste and industry of man — 

 May their march be onward till the whole earth 

 shall become fruitful fields and gardens, and man 

 shall return to his native innocence.. 



By H. J. Finn. Miss Fanny Kemble — A rare 

 and splendid specimen of the Star Apple. Can 

 we wonder at the splendid success of such a scion, 

 springing from such a talented Stock. 



By the Hon. Mr. Gouldsborough, of Maryland. 

 The refined and hospitable Inhabitants of Boston —

 and various Flowers, and their repast of delicious

 Grateful to the taste and to the sight — May their 

 buds and blossoms never be blighted by the chill 

 of ingratitude towards the giver of them. 



By B. V. French. The Neiv England Farmer 

 and Horticultural Journal. May its influence con- 

 tinue with the Agricultural and Horticultural com- 

 munity of New England, till we can boast of a 

 Sinclair, a Davy, a Knight, and a Loudon of our 

 own. 



By T. G. Fessenden. The best antidotes to In- 

 temperance : Domestic endearments, a taste for 

 good Fruit, and a fondness for fine Flowers. 



By David Haggerston. America and Great Brit- 

 ain : In the interchange of productions between 

 the two countries, may the Olive Branch ever be 

 the article most highly estimated. 



By George C. Barrett. The Fruits of this day's 

 Exhibition. If the forbidden Fruit was equal to 

 this, Madam Eve would scarcely need an apology 

 for yielding to the temptation which it presented. 



By a Guest from Nantucket. The Sea and the 

 Land. Their products equally benefitted by em- 

 ulation, and alike augmented by encouragement : 

 May those, who plough either, reap a rich harvest, 

 and their stores abound in "Corn, wine and oil." 



By E. M. Richards. The Oth Congreesswial 

 District. May it be represented with as much in- 

 tegrity, ability, and eloquence in the next Con- 

 gress as in the last.

The President having retired, Zebedee Cook, Jr. 

 Esq. the 1st Vice President, after remarking on 

 the services rendered to the Society by Gen. Dear- 

 born, concluded with a sentiment, expressive of the 

 high and grateful sense he entertained of the Pres- 

 ident's talents, untiring zeal and devotion to the 

 interests of the association, which met with a cor- 

 dial response from all present.
