 The latter also offered for exhibition the Wilmot Hamburg, 

 Cannon Hall and Muscat of Alexandria. 



The Isabellas, by Levi Fish of Danvers, B. F. Hutchinson 

 of South Danvers, T. W. Ashby and Stephen Thayer of 

 Salem, deserve honorable mention, as do also many other 

 varieties, which the Committee have now no space to particu- 

 larly notice. 



Of Peaches, the Committee have only to say^ that the most 

 fastidious fruit-fancier could find no fault with the quality of 

 the " Freestone White Flesh, Yellow Flesh or Blood Peach 

 for Preserves." Not an unripe or knuxly specimen could be 

 foimd on the Society's tables. Not a peach was ofiered which 

 was not of the richest quality and most luscious flavor, yet the 

 Committee have awarded no premiums or gratuities for peaches. 

 They could find no positive merits or demerits iu this kind of 

 fruit, for what we hope will be deemed a satisfactory reason — 

 that they had none at all before them.
