or Green Gage, Prince's Imperial Gage, both specimens 

 fine ; also Bolmer's Washington, very large and beautiful. 

 This superb variety produces large crops of delicious fruit in 

 the garden of Mr Johnson ; and appears to differ from the 

 fine " Bolmer's Washington" of Mr Cruftof this city, the one

 Mr Cruft conforming more exactly to the description which

From Messrs Mason of the Charlestown Vineyard, a small, 

 round, white seedling plum, of a sweet flavor. 



From Henry Van Dyne of Cambridgeport, a seedling, 

 very handsome Blue Plum, for a name ; which we venture to 

 name Van Dyne Plum. We may speak further of the merits 

 of this fruit on a future occasion. 



Grapes. — Josiah Bradlee of this city, offered specimens 

 of the Black Hamburgh from the Grape House of Aaron 

 Mitchell, Esq., of Nantucket ; clusters very large and beauti- 

 ful. The soil and climate of the Island prove admirably 

 adapted to the vine. 



From Dr J. C. Howard, specimens of the Black Ham- 

 burgh, White Chasselas, and the Meunier or Miller Bur- 

 gundy, corresponding in size and beauty to those of this gen- 

 tleman's former exhibitions. 



From Otis Johnson of Lynn, splendid clusters of Black 

 Hamburgh. 



From Jacob Tidd of Roxbury, specimens of White 

 Chasselas and Black Hamburgh corresponding in beauty to 

 those of his exhibitions in former years. 



From Mr Davis of Newton, Black native Grapes.
