Col. Wilder, of Dorchester, from Jos. Rinz, Jr. 

 a corresponding member of the Soc ety at Frank- 

 fort sur le Maine, (Germany.) Fruits in Wax — 

 This presentation is a wonderful imitation of Fruits 

 well known to most of our members, whose applause 

 with that of numetuus bchoiders, was given with 

 acclamation. We can fancy nothing of the kinJ 

 more perfect. 



The fruits of this exhibition were judged to be 

 very fine and abundant, considering the unfavorable 

 nature of the past season. As a display thjy cer- 

 tainly appeared to great advantage on the tibles of 

 the Hall, and attracted universal notice. We do 

 not venture on any comparisons or critical opinions, 

 regarding this subject, reserving whatever there may 

 be ot that nature to another and more fittng oppor- 

 tunity. The diffusion of the best of freits and the 

 adaptedness to different parts of our sate, are en- 

 couragement; to the farther efforts of til patrons of 

 pomology. J. L. R.
