 first time, horticultural products and agricultural implements were made a 

 prominent feature of the show. A tent was erected for fruits and vegeta- 

 bles, and a very good display made, though not so large as we had antici- 

 pated. Piiiladelphia did not do her share in the exhibition. There was 

 very little from the immediate vicinity of the city besides Mr. Buist's thirty 

 varieties of pears. From the western part of the state some very superior 

 apples were shown; and Mr. Reid of Elizabethtown, N. J. sent about fifty 

 varieties of pears. Most of the pears were from Boston. The President of 

 the Society contributed 150 varieties, and Messrs. Hovey & Co. 200 

 varieties. 



Grapes were shown in quantities ; besides the Isabellas and Catawbas,
