20 WORCESTER COUNTY HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. [1847. 



A few fine Tomatoes were entered by Dr. Henry Sargent, and some others 

 of a smaller kind were noticed by your Committee, resembling the red plum. 

 No resemblance in the flavor, we may presume. 



It would be exceedingly agreeable to your Committee to occupy a longer 

 time in considering this delightful subject of Horticulture, and particulai'ly as 

 connected with your Society's late Exhibition, but we are admonished of the 

 already too great length of this Report, and with our hopes for an increased 

 interest in vegetable esculents, the above is respectfully submitted in behalf 

 of the Committee.

Horticultural Exhibition. — The display at the Horticultural Hall on 

 Thursday was all that could be expected, and, in the finer varieties of fruit, 

 much excelled any former exhibition. The show of Apples was not as good 

 as last year. This was owing to the fact, 1st, that Apples are neither so plenty 

 nor good as they were last year, and the season was not advanced enough to 

 bring the finest Winter varieties to perfection. In Peaches and Pears the 

 show was uncommonly rich, and many new kinds were on the tables that have 

 not heretofore been presented from this vicinity.
