1 12 [Assembly 



Greene county, was tested, which was represented to be four years 

 old. "A sort of Hock, of fine flavor, but in a state of fermentation, 

 the sugar not being dissolved and the spirit formed." 



A bottle from Mr. Charles Peabody, made by him from a native 

 grape, found on the bank of the Uchee Creek, in Russell county, Al- 

 abama, was pronounced by the judges "a pleasant wine, sweet, like 

 Malmsey, and if no sugar had been added to the juice, as is repre- 

 sented, it is remarkable in its character." 



From an article in The Southern Cultivator, published in Augusta, 

 in March last, it is stated that "the Uchee grape, in its native state, 

 yields but little juice, but that it is extremely rich, and makes a 

 most delicious wine without sugar. The bunches are long, very 

 compact, and of a jet black color." Some of the most celebrated 

 wine connoiseurs of Columbus, describe this wine as having the body 

 of Port, with a little of the Muscat flavor, and equal to the best im- 

 ported. 



On this occasion a bottle of Mr. Pell's Newtown pippin cider was 

 tasted, pronounced as good sound cider, with the flavor of the fruit. 



The Horticultural and Agricultural productions described in the 

 subjoined list, were laid before the several committees of judges. 

 Many other articles were exhibited, but as they were not worthy of 

 being brought into competition for the premiums offered, nor of being 

 recorded on the annals of the Institute, they are omitted. Annexed
