A good exhibit, of a fair quality throughout. It comprises eight samples, and with the exception of No. 6 Prussian blue peas, we would class them as inferior to other similar exhibits in the same court. The No. 6 was the best of the kind in the oourt; rank it as first. The exhibit, as a whole, should rank as fourth degree of merit.

P. Cunningham and Co.—Bye grass, field peas, peas, beans. This comprises four samples and, as a whole, I consider it the best exhibit in the oourt in its class. The peas and beans are first-olass, full, round, heavy, and fresh-looking. The rye grass seed is better than 1180, but not so good as that of Duncan and Son, 1183, or Dransfield's, 1182.
