Broom Park. — Of a bergamot form, with a yellow skin, nearly covered 

 with blotches of russet ; flesh, yellowish white, juicy, tender, of a sweet 

 bergamot, and rather high flavor. 



Plums, Raspberries, and Strawberries suffered severely from the drought, 

 and the weekly exhibitions were most sadly deficient in these three fruits. 



We pass over the various Seedling pears, and Seedling strawberries, 

 which have heretofore received commendation, on account of the unfavora- 

 ble season, and a prospect that in the succeeding season they may come up 

 under the head of the '• Special Premium List."
