[Reported by John, C. Moore, for the N. B. Farmer].

The meeting of this Society in Representatives' Hall, last Monday evening, was well attended. Hon. Marshall P. Wilder was called to the chair.

The subject for discussion was, - "Fruits, and the Culture of Fruit-Trees." The Chairman said it gave him great pleasure to make a few remarks on the subject of discussion, which was one of the most important that could be debated. Fruits, as articles of market value, were among the most important products of the farm, and as much so to the country as to the commonwealth. Their cultivation had made great progress among us within the past fifty years. The crop in this State in 1845 was valued at $700,000. In 1855 its value was $1,300,000. In 1860 it could not be less than two millions of dollars - more than the value of the wheat, oats, rye and barley in the State. Such had been the results of pomologi-cal science in Massachusetts, that her exhibitions sustained the highest rank. One gentleman, who had had opportunity of judging, said that he saw more choice fruit at one of our exhibitions here than he saw at twenty in Europe; where, as in Germany, the greatest encouragement had been given to pomology by the government. But great as was our credit here, it was eclipsed by that of California and Oregon Territory, correspondence from which regions showed that they were blessed with wonderful natural facilities for the growth of fruits of all kinds.

Col. Wilder read a letter from a correspondent at Munroe, Oregon, stating that he had forwarded a box containing an apple forty ounces in weight, and twelve others averaging a pound and a half each! Another correspondent from the same region informed him that ten millions of nursery trees had been sold in Willimet Valley; and Col. W. added that at Washington, a few days ago, he saw a pear from that place which weighed four pounds! Grapes, when their value was considered, either as an article of luxury or commerce, had important claims on our attention in respect to the best sorts to cultivate, and best modes of cultivating them. The pear crop in this State was valued at $100,000 per annum, and also demanded a full share of attention, with respect to kinds best suited to our soil, and to the most approved manner o cultivation. We had among us many varieties of pears adapted to our climate and soil, and of these varieties the Bartlett, Vicar of Winkfield, and others which he named, were well adapted.

The following were recommended as the six best varieties of apples: - the Williams, Early Bough, Gravenstein. Faineuse, Hubbardston Nonsuch, and the Baldwin'; and if twelve varieties were desired, the Red Astracan, Rhode Island Greening, Ladies' Sweet, Porter and Talman Sweet might be added.

For pears the following were recommended:
