DEAR BENNETT =
yesterday, in company with friend from Man
chester, ] attended the annual exhibition of the
massachusetts Horticultural Society, al their rooms
IN fremont street. and well did il repay The walk
not only on account Of the fragrance of The flowers
alone, out the beauty OF the ladies with which the
rooms were 'hronged; indeed, it seemed rather an
exhibition OF beautiful women than of dahlias and
paeenias, that are only pretty to look upon In the
crowd noticed the pretty little Miss A. of T. street
IN company with young gentleman, to whom re-
port says she is engaged also, Miss Ts7st** lately
returned from Southern tour; Miss H**- of B.
street, who eloped with young midshipman some
two years ago, but pursued and overtaken bv
her father, and the match was thus broken of " ss

in company with their bother. These Young la
dies are "known the city through and for twenty
miles the country round about by their loud talk
ing The Miss X. of III. street, Miss c.. Of r.
street, and many others Recognized, whose names
| cannot now recall TO mind
Among the specimens of fruit, the strawberry ma
turally attracts the ate alton first of which those
offered at this exhibition were the largest that
ever saw; and but for lady standing near them. so
strongly scented with musk that could smell nothing
else, Knight have formed some idea Of their flavor.
The largest were those presented by f. Vose of Dor.
chester Hobby & Co., and Mr. Bigelow, of Med
ford-those of the former, | think, are entitled TO
the preference. Near the strawberries nam Tho
same table, | noticed several varieties of graves
from the vines of DR.. John c.. Howard. of Wood
land, Brooklne, which were very large, and of de-
ilclous flavor. There were some cherries offered,
but of very inferior quality; indeed have seen no
good cherries tins season. Mr.. J. L. Allen of Sa-
lem, was on hand with sample of the finest looking
peaches ever raised in Massachusetts, which found
on tasting one OF them, with which he presented me-
were OF the most delicious flavor. The ladies' seem
ed to have taken great fancy to Mr.. Aliens
peaches and IT was with the greatest difficulty that
ne forced ms way through the crowd in order TO
present me with few. Mr. A. will undoubtedly
take the highest premium, no other peaches having
been offered, save a few from another part of the
State OF comparatively inferior quality. noticed
also lew cucumbers measuring two feet in length
offered by Col Perkins. Also, some salad, green
peas, and other vegetables not remarkable for their
size.
The exhibition of flowers surpassed even the
splendid variety that was offered at the last Far at
Niblo's. The largest bouquet was from Winship's
garden, composed OF various coored roses paeonias
Sc, and measuring at least eight feet length, by

healthy, and were arranged with much TASTE
MIR John A. kenwick was also present, with a
splendid variety OF roses, Paconias, &c from his
garden al Nonamtum Dale Newtown Mr. Kew
wick deserves great crdt for the pains that he has
taken IN The Improvement OF paeonlas, and will
doubtless, receive, as he justly merits the highest
premium Tor the best specimens OF that beautiful
flower Upwards OF forty varieties of the rose were
presented by Mr.. Z. Wilder, which, though we'll
worthy OF premiums, | believe were not offered for
that purpose. The assortment of dahlias was small
and very inferior the largest were those offered by
A. brentwood: Some fine specimens Of hardy
roses were offered by II. Malon, of Harvard Hill.
but were wilted that they had lost much of their
beauty. There were many, other specimens of
tiers rendered them inaccessible.
ply English friend, who has been in this country
only few days, was greatly pleased with the specf-
with candor rarely to be met with i'm his country
men, that the fruit was much larger ans the flowers
prettler than any that he had ever seen in his own
country remarked TO him that if his countrymen
had not been mlsrepresented, he was possessed of
