Ilurtkultural. — Among the fruits exhibited la.st 

 itin-iiay at the Hall of the Massachusetts Horticul- 

 ral Society, were the following : — 

 By Mr DowNF.K, a box of tlie Columbian or Buck 

 rape, from Mr E. VV. Bull of llartfonl. This is a 

 itive variety — the valuable points of which are 

 leir hardiness, vigor, and prolific quality. Mr Bdll 

 jserves they are not this season of tlieir usual size, 

 he berries are not large, llie bunches are good 

 zed, sUin not thick, pulp rather hard, probably would 

 ive been softer had thoy remained longer on the 

 nes, seeds large, Havor pleasant and sweet, and is 

 ore valuable as the bunches remain in preservation 

 1 the vines until the severe frosts. Also Capiau- 

 ont, Urbanisle, and Dix pears, all very fine, juicy, 

 id in fine eating. 



Bv Gen. Sumner, of Dorchester, a few apples, 

 pparently Golden Russets, though rather larger,) 

 eked in 1828, from the farm of James Sutton, in 

 illi.ston, Vt. which, after having beentwoweeks 

 a travelling trunk, were as fair as those of the 

 esent season. They had been kept in the usual 

 inner. 



Other fruits were exhibited by Messrs Manning, 

 Salem, VVinships, Brewi:r, Kemrick, and from 

 gentleman in New Hampshire. 

 A letter was received frouiMr Carr, Nurseryman, 

 ' Piuladelphia, stating that, he had forwarded to the 

 ill of the Society, a box of the Petre Pear, from 

 5Cedlingtree, planted by the ceiebrnted Naturalist 

 UN Bartram, in IT^.'S. The fruit is described as 

 arge, fair, melting, and of delicious flavor." [The
