•VOL.. XVII, NO. as. 



Mr Jonathan Warren of Weston, exhibited the AlVicftn 

 ince, ParUs, and American Nonsuch apples, or more 

 jperly the Nonsuch of Boston and vicinity. The com- 

 ttee be- leave to observe that this is decidedly distinct 

 ,m lhe°English Nonsuch described by Forsyth and 

 ,nald, .-.Iso different from many apples of the same 

 me cultivated in various parts of our own country. 

 Mr Manning exhibited the following apples, Danvers 

 'inter Sweet, Pennock Red Winter (Cox No. 78) Bell- 

 )Wor (Cox No. 3;i,) and Chaumontell pears. 

 E. M. Richards, Esq. exhibited the Wine apple (Cox 

 0. 3-1,) and the Bicknell or Quince pear for baking. 

 Iso another apple, name unknown. 

 Mr Aspinwall of Brookline, exhibited a pear, the pro- 

 ice of a tree received from France as the " Monsieur," 



„..= .mmediately recognized as the Burgomaster de- 

 .ribed in Kenrick's New American Orchardist, page 134. 

 iTe remark of this pear th.tt although as regards taste it 



only second rate, yet its large size, healthy appearance, 

 nd abundant bearing, render it very desirable either for 

 ,e fruit garden or orchard. We further remark, in or- 

 er to remove erroneous impressions, that notwithstand- | 

 ,» this pear was received from Europe, under the name 



now bears, it is entirely distinct from the true Burgo- 

 aaster of Bauman's catalogue, and of the London Hor- j 

 icultural Society.

Joseph Breck & Co. at the New England Agricultnra 

 Warehouse and Seed Store, Nos. 51 and 52 North Market 

 Street have lor sale, Green's Patent Straw, Hay and Stalk 

 Cutter, operating on a mechanical principle, not beiore ap- 

 plied to anv implem.;-nt for this purpose. The most prom- 

 inent effects of this application, and some of the consequent 

 peculiarities of the machine are: . 



1 So Treat a reduction of the quantum of power requisite 

 to use iirthat the sirensth of a half grown boy is sufficient 

 to work it very efficiently. 



2 With even this mo<lerate power, it easily cuts two bush- 

 els a minute, which is full twice as fast as has been claimed 

 by any other machine even when worked by horse or steam 

 power , . ... 



3. The knives, owing to the peculiar manner in wnicn 

 they cut, require sharpening less often than those of any 

 other straw cutter. . ' , i 



4 The machine is simple in its construction, made and | 

 put together very strongly. It is therefore not so liable as 

 the complicated machines in general use, to get out oi order.
