REPORT

OF THE

HORTICULTURAL EXHIBITION,

HELD IN

SALEM, MASSACHUSETTS.

UNDER THE DIRECTION OF

THE ESSEX INSTITUTE,

ON WEDNESDAY & THURSDAY, Serr. 257TH anp 26rH,

1850,

To the President and Members of the Essex Institute :

The Committee on Horticulture report that the annual exhibition of Fruits, Flowers, and Vegetables, for the year 1850, took place at the Town Hall in Salem, on Wednesday and Thursday, September 25th and 26th, in connexion

with that of the Essex Agricultural Society, in conformity with previous ar- rangements to that effect.

The hall was beautifully decorated, the committee being assisted in this por- tion of their duties by the refined taste of the ladies who so kindly volunteered their aid on this occasion. The large and elegant evergreen arbor opposite the entrance, formed a very conspicuous object, presenting a great variety of wild flowers tastefully grouped together ; and supported by two immense cornu- copie, pouring forth their abundant treasures—the one, of vegetable produc- tions, and the other of fruits in great variety. Over the centre door was a tablet containing the name of Pomona, surrounded with a rich border of fruits. The eastern door was surmounted with a similar tablet, containing the name of Ceres, with a chaste wreathing of grains and grasses; while FLorA oceu- pied a similar position over the western door, decked with a gorgeous array of flowers. Other decorations adorned the windows, and bouquets and vases of flowers in abundance were arranged on the tables, and around the hall.

Among the curiosities that attracted much ‘attention, were pears from the

original Endicott pear tree in Danvers, which tradition says was planted in 1630; some fine looking Orange pears, from a tree two hundred and ten years old, on the estate of Capt. William Allen, in Hardy street; also, apples from a tree planted by Peregrine White, the first male child born in New England, on the farm originally settled and subdued by him in Marshfield. The farm ig now owned and occupied by his direct descendants, by one of whom, Miss Sybil White, the apples were sent to Dr. Merriam, of Topsfield. These relics of past ages are yet productive, and their fruits of no little curiosity.

The display of Fruit was very fine, especially that of Pears, which, for their variety, beauty, and perfection, may well challenge comparison with any simi- lar exhibition of this season. Two thousand dishes or baskets of fruit were pla- ced upon the tables, consisting, as will appear from the list, of six hundred and seventy varieties, viz: of Pears, two hundred and ninety with names, eight seedlings, and twenty-nine unknown—total, three hundred and twenty-seven ; of Apples, one hundred and fifty-one with names, seven seedlings, and twenty- three unknown—total, one hundred and eighty-one; of Peaches, forty with names, thirty-four seedlings, eight unknown—total, eighty-two; of Plums, nine- teen with names, three seedlings, one unknown—total, twenty-three ; of Grapes, thirty-three with names, eight native seedlings—total, forty-one ; of Quinces, Nectarines, Figs, and Melons, three each; of Oranges, Lemons, European Wal- nuts, and Cornelian Cherries, one each.

The specimen flowers were arranged on stands which occupied the centre of the hall, and comprised a goodly array of Dahlias, Roses, Asters, &e. The Dahlias were the most prominent in their variety and the gorgeousness of the flowers. A stand from Lawrence, brought in on the second day, contained the finest specimens in the hall. The Rose, which, with its hybrid Perpetuals, Noisettes, and Bourbons, is beginning to extend the season of its lovely and fragrant blooms during the autumnal months, was well represented. ‘The As- ters, Stocks, and Coxcombs were also conspicuous. A stand of Pansies, and al- so a stand of Phloxes, Antirrhinum in varieties, @inothera, Aconitum, Gaillar- dia, Tradescantia, Trollius, &e., added much to the interest of the exhibition.

A few pot plants were placed on the platform in front of the arbor, consist- ing of Achimenes, Gloxinias, Fuchsias, &e., whose showy and splendid flowers formed a striking contrast with the native denizens of our fields and meadows,

grouped in the rear.

The Vegetables, &c. were arranged in the anterooms. The display, al- though not large, was very interesting, and consisted of fine specimens of Squashes, Potatoes, Onions, &c. In this department were placed the Cereals—

as varieties of Corn, Wheat, &c. The cultivation of the last named grain is

said by the gentlemen who exhibited specimens, to have been successful ; and it is greatly to be desired that further experiments should be tried by our agri- culturists, to test fully the advantage of its more general introduction.

Nineteen towns of our county were represented by the contributions of one hundred and ninety-one individuals, viz: from Salem, one hundred and twen- ty-three; Danvers, sixteen; Lynn, eleven; Beverly and Topsfield, five each; Middleton and Methuen, four each; Marblehead, Andover, [lamilton, and Ips- wich, three each; Wenham. Lawrence, and Saugus, two each; Boxford, New- buryport, Newbury, Haverhill, and Glousester, one each. Also, two from South Reading, one from Lowell, and one from Kendall, Ulinois, which being without the limits of the county, were not in«!aded in the above estimate.

A comparison 0: the present exhibition, with the first of the kind ever held in Salem, shows a very gratifying as well as rapid increase of interest in the cultivation of fruits and flowers. That exhibition was held on Tuesday and Wednesday, September 14th and 15th, 1841. The number of contributors was then seventy-six, —about three hundred plates of Fruit were piaced on the tables, comprising one hundred and fifty-three varieties, viz: ninety-four of Pears, twenty-five of Apples, ten of Peaches, eight of Plums, eight of Grapes, four of Melons, two of Quinces, one of Nectarines, and une of Filberts.

May we not justly infer from the above comparison, that the labors of the Institute in maintaining their stated exhibitions have not been in vain; but have resulted in diffusing through the community a more general and extensive taste for horticultural pursuits, thus accomplishing the principal object of their establishment.

At the suggestion of several members of the Institute, the committee submit a list of Pears and Apples which have proved to be of good quality, aad can be recommended for general cultivation in this county. It is not, however, to be expected that all fruits will flourish equally well in every situation. The productiveness, and the quality of the fruit will be materially affected by dif- ference of soil, aspect, and of culture, and also by favorable or unfavorable sea- sons: and it is only by judicious, seasonable, and constant attention, that the cultivator can expect to be repaid for his labor.

The list submitted is arranged, as nearly as may be, in the order of the ma- turity of the fruit.

° PEARS. Madeleine—not first rate, but the earliest pear worthy of cultivation. Bloodgood—requires a warm soil.

Rostiezer. Dearborn’s Seedling—only suitable for the garden.
