 Grapes, and Bartlett I'ear, the artisl (Mr IIabvf.v) ^ pj,|,p sliriib with silky leaves, which may b< 

 has executed them with groat nicety and precision, [ ^^f,„„ j,, i^.af mould and peat, or peat loam, ani 



affording to the observer an accurate delineation 

 of the above fruits. The judicious shades thrown 

 in the hack ground, with the just alid tine colors, 

 not only give satisfaction to the observer on the 

 first view, but show, on a longer examination, a 

 very tzact imitation of the fruit itself; particularly 

 the Bland Grape, with the fine bloom on the ber- 

 ries, and the true ecdor of the wood and leaf. — 

 The Isahell.i w ill bear the same close examination ; 

 you perceive the dark green and smooth leaf with 

 the whitish e;ust underneath ; the large berries with 

 their dark and heavy bloom, llio Iriio robr of the 

 wood, Willi tl.o uccuraie eflect given of the cluster 

 as it bangs. Of the Bartlett Pear, any one who 

 has observed them on the tree, must be struck with 

 the justness of this painting ; the skin, with its 

 beautiful yellow color, the red tints <iii one side 

 and often its glossy surface. This pear may truly 

 be called a majestic fruit ; the glos.-sy leaves also 

 are beautifiil, dark green and finely serrated ; 

 chance lias made this variety one of our Ibwoiilcs. 

 Other varieties of pears are to be executed by 

 the same eminent artist, which wo hope will 

 prove as satisfactory to t!io Society as the afore- 

 mentioned. 



The Flower Stand also should not pass unno- 

 ticed. Its oval and pyramidical form, with the 

 shelves filled with beautiful glasses, is in good 

 gtyle and taste.
