CINCINNATI HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



(continued fkom page 381.) 



Cincinnati, Saturday, July 13 

 Peksident in the chair. 



On motion of Mr. Howarth, the report of the Fruit Committee was ordered to 

 be amended so as to read that the Ohio Everbearing Raspberry is " rather rich aa 

 compared with the common Raspberry." 



Messrs Farris &, Hawkins, being desirous of taking heliographs of the fruit and 

 flowers exhibited from time to time, were, on motion, permitted so to do, it being 

 understood that no claim or charge therefor should ever be made by them against 

 the Society. 



The tables were beautifully decorated with fruits and flowers. Among the 

 former were Apples, Pears, Cherries and Plums. Of flowers Mr. Howarth ex* 

 hibited a remarkably fine Pink — the Perpetual — and the Cactus Reptans in most 

 gorgeous bloom. 



A flower-basket, by Mr. Herman Herling, presented a most beautiful and attrac- 

 tive appearance. 



REPORT OP FLOWER COMMITTEE. 



The Committee are pleased to observe more beautiful specimens in the floral 

 department than we have of late been accustomed to see. A splendid collection 

 of Hollyhocks, of various colors, exhibited by Herman Heeling, gardener to Mr. 

 LoNGWORTU ; also, a basket of flowers tastefully arranged. 



Mr. Howarth exhibits fifteen varieties of Hollyhocks — the Alth'^a, two of the 

 Antirrhinum ; of Roses — the Microphila, the Luxemburgh, Lyonaise, Noisettes 

 (three varieties); also, the Perpetual Pink, the Cactus Reptans and the Yucca 

 Fillimentosa. 



This being the day for awarding premiums on Hollyhocks, the Committee 

 award the first premium ($2), to Herman Herling, and the second ($1), to W» 

 Howarth. J. P. FOOTE, Chairman.

REPORT OP FRUIT COMMITTEE. 



Doyenne d'Ete Pear — Beautiful ; a great bearer ; always pure and fair ; does 

 very well on peach and quince stock ; very good for an early variety ; of good size 

 and of fine .shape. Seedling from Mr. R. Stanford. Sells very well, probably 

 on account of its good size, as its flavor is insipid.
