agricultural and manufacturing departments OF the
American Institute Fair tie show OF fruits Is certainly
very fnc-n fact we have seldom seen such fine fruit
and in such quantities is now on exhibition at the
Academy Of Music; and TO those interested in pomo
logical displays it is well worth visit to inspect the
new varieties compare tho old with those growing on
ones own ground &C. The tables contain upward OF
600 plates loaded with different varieties OF apples
pears and grapes The display Of apples is very large
and the fruit generally is well grown and Of fine ap-
pearance.
