the summer. They are also aiding in the dissemination of usefiU works, by offering as pre- 

 miums so many of Dr. "Warder's Eevieic and the other Ohio journals. They are other-\vise 

 doing good in many ways, and we hope their example will not be lost on other counties 

 that are yet behind.

We are glad that this Society is determined to prosecute its labors. Tliere could be no 

 stronger proof that they are much wanted than the pages of this report. Nomenclature is 

 really in a sad condition. The lists of fruit presented, show some large collections. K. 

 BucHANAX, of Ohiclnnati, 43 varieties; A. L. Benedict, of Morrow county, 66 varieties; 

 W. B. LisPET, of Morrow county, 25 varieties. In all, the collection of apples must have 

 been very extensive. The discussions are not quite so practical as tliose of the Illinois 

 meeting, but nevertheless have elicited many useful fiicts, which we shall notice hereafter. 



"Western Hobticitltctial Eetxew. John A. W^uinsE, Editor. Cincinnati, Ohio. 



The Worlcing Farmer., edited by Prof. Mapes, one of our best monthly agricultural 

 journals, gives our Cincinnati contemporary the following weU merited notice : 



This is one of the few Horticultural Reviews we can always refer to with pleasure. Its editor, 

 although precise in all matters connected with his art, writes like a man in good spirits, who is 

 not working his way up hill. His style is free from satire, nor is it annoyed by that kind of 

 egotism which we are sorrj- to see effaces some of the horticultural journals of the present day.

The Southepjjt AoRicrLTrEisT is the title of a new journal devoted to Agi-iculture, Hor- 

 ticulture, Pomology, &c., published monthly at LaurensvUle, S. C. Col. A. G. Scmmee, 

 editor: Wm. Summer, Horticultural editor. The first number is well filled and well printed. 

 The Horticultural department is particularly varied and interesting — displaying both good 

 taste and sound judgment. We trust it wiU be well sustained, and we believe it wiU be, 

 for we have abundant evidence of a very general and active spirit of inquiry on rural mat- 

 ters all over the South. The Southern States have a great duty to perform to American 

 horticulture. Their semi-tropical climate admits of tlie culture in the open air of a vast 

 number of useful fruits and vegetables, of beautiful trees and plants, that we in the North 

 can only attempt under glass. If they wUl but turn themselves as energetically to the 

 development of their climate resources aa we are doing here, the United States may soon 

 occupy a creditable position in the horticultural world.
