62 ON FRUITS AND FLOWERS. 



Baldwin, Rhode-Island Greening, Minister, Hub- 

 bardston Nonesuch, and some others. The -finest 

 table apple known in the warm climate of Italy, 

 (and which was exhibited here, this morning,) is 

 with us, an indifferent cooking fruit. Your com- 

 mittee have endeavored to ascertain the name of 

 each contributor, but in the hurry and bustle atten- 

 dant on such occasions, there may have been some 

 omissions. 



Andrew Dodge, of Wenham, presented pears, 

 apples and quinces of twenty one varieties. Gard- 

 ner B. Berry, of Bradford, exhibited ten varieties of 

 apples and pears. Robert Manning, of Salem, sent 

 in fifty four kinds of pears and apples. Charles M. 

 Brown, of Byfield, one barrel of fine Baldwin apples, 

 marked " Blush Apple." They were, however, the 

 true Pecker or Baldwin. 



Fine specimens of fruit were exhibited by E. Em- 

 merton, Salem ; Eben'r Smith, Beverly ; Peabody 

 Russell, Boxford ; Humphrey Nelson and James 

 Peabody, of Byfield ; Augustus Putnam, Danvers ; 

 Moses Pettingel, of Topsfield ; Abel Nichols, Dan- 

 vers ; I. B. Bateman, Georgetown ; Simon Ward- 

 well, Andover ; Miss Ellen B. Dodge, Salem ; Wm. 

 Oakes, Ipswich ; A. L. Peirson and John M. Ives, 

 Salem. 



Fine Corn was shown by Daniel Putnam, John 

 Preston, and Abel Nichols, of Danvers ; William 

 Osborn, of Saugus ; Andrew Dodge, and John Col- 

 by, of Bradford ; and Jacob F. Davis, of Newbury. 

 Your committee could only notice particularly a few 

 specimens. The eight-rowed variety of Wm. Wil- 

 liams, of Rowley, and John Preston, of Danvers, 

 was good, particularly the former. The brindled 

 corn (or Gov. Hill's famous variety) of Daniel Put- 

 nam, and which had obtained a former premium of 

 this society, was fine ; the bundle numbered 2, har- 

 vested by cutting the stalks at root, was bright, and 

 we thought heavier than No. 1, which was harvest- 

 ed in the old way.
