New-Haven Hort. Society. — We sometimes 

 find it matter of convenience to know the names 

 of officers of sister societies, as we And them in 

 the Horticulturist. Possibly it may be equally 

 interesting to some to know the names of offi- 

 cers of our society, through the same medium. 

 If convenient you will please use the following:

Detroit Hort. Society. — At the annual 

 meeting of the Detroit Hort. Society just held, 

 the following persons were elected officers for 

 the present year:

Vice Presidents — Thos. Lockwood and F. 

 Raymond. 



Treasurer — Stephen Smith. 



Bee. Secretary — Clias. Betts.

The Society has now effected a substantial 

 and we trust a permanent organization. An 

 excellent room has been secured for the e.\hibi- 

 tions of the Society, the present season; and 

 every effort will be made to make them inter- 

 esting and instructive. 



The advantages of having an energetic Horti- 

 cultural Society are too obvious to remain un- 

 noticed. Practical men believe now, that fruit 

 growing, taken all-rn-all, is one of the most pro- 

 fitable and pleasurable departments of husband- 

 ry. Every body is planting trees ; nurseries are 

 ing up in every part of the State ; yet they 

 11 double the number of trees that either 

 ee or four years ago. Our trees first 



planted are coming into bearing, and the fine 

 character of the fruit gives great encouragement 

 to e-xtend operatious. And a Horticultural So- 

 ciety now is the result of bare necessity. 



Persons in all parts of the State are solicited 

 to become members. Any person by sending 

 one dollar to either of the" officers, will be elec- 

 ted a member of the Society, and it is really to 

 be hoped that those who are engaged in fruit 

 growing, and feel an interest in the dissemina- 

 tion of correct knowledge in reference to cul- 

 ture, adaptation of varieties to our climate and 

 soil, the proper naming of fruits, which are now 

 propagated under false or erroneous names, 

 which causes perplexity, trouble and loss, Sec, 

 will take hold and help the matter on. 



The Society have decided to hold five exhibi- 

 tions the present season; one in each of the 

 mouths of May to September inclusive. Due 

 notice will be given of the time of holding the 

 exhibitions, and persons will be appointed to re- 

 ceive fruit, &c., sent from a distance where 

 members cannot make it expedient to attend 

 personally. — Michigan Farmer.

Rose Shrubs. — Filius, (Toronto.) Vibur- 

 num Opulus-roseum — the rose colored variety 

 of the common Snow Ball, about which you 

 inquire, we do not remember to have seen. If 

 any of our nurserymen have cultivated it, we 

 will be glad to hear from them. We do not 

 understand your inquiry about cutting apple 

 •■' stocks" into two or three pieces? Do you 

 mean grafts? If so, every portion of a good 

 young shoot, with three buds, will make a good 

 graft.
