Cayuga County Horticultural Sooety. — The exhibition of the Cayuga County Horticultural 

 Society took place yesterday (Sept. 20th) afternoon and evening in Stanford Hall. The arrange- 

 ments of the exhibition were such as to give a good display of all the articles sent in for 

 competition or show. The varieties of flowers, fruits, and vegetables were numerous, comprising, 

 in the fruit line, apples, peaches, pears, quinces, plums, nectarines, and grapes, in their varieties. 

 Of the vegetables, which were of the finest kind, we noticed beans, peas, beets, carrots, onions, 

 celerv, tomatoes, cabbages, cauliflowers, potatoes, squashes, pumpkins, turnips, cucumbers, green 

 corn, and sweet potatoes, together with several varieties of melons. In the display of flowei-s, 

 great taste was exhibited in the arrangement of them so as to show the varieties of Dahlias, Ver- 

 benas, German Asters, Pholxes, Petunias, and other flowers of the season. The display of boquets 

 and floral designs was certainly a rich sight, combining with artistic skill all the variegated hues 

 of color. Among the floral designs we noticed a beautiful wheel and a star, formed tastefully 

 with flowers and evergreens, and under these was a floral temple admirably designed, which was 

 the observed of all observers. Several pyramids of flowers, and numerous large flat and round 

 boquets, were to be seen, evincing no ordinary taste in their arrangement. Tlie whole floral 

 exhibition far surpassed in richness the June fair of the Society. We had no means of ascertain- 

 ing the number of varieties of fruit ; there were, however, several kinds of pears and apples, 

 peaches and plums. As curiosities, among the grapes we noticed a piece of vine, extraordinarily 

 prolific, on which we counted sixty bunches. Among the vegetables there were many of mam- 

 moth size : a tomato as big as a child's head, and seed cucumbers as large as usual watermelons. 

 Tliere were potatoes raised from the seed, a bearing orange tree, with the fruit partly turned 

 yellow, a stalk of corn 16^ feet in length, and species of Dutch turnip that grows out of the 

 ground, together with curious looking muskmelons, odd shaped squashes, and enormous cabbage 

 heads. To the ladies of the committee of arrangements much praise is due for their admirable 

 taste and skill in the floral designs and general arrangement of the flowers, which seemed to 

 attract the crowd of visitors. Although the weather for the last two days had been one cont'nual 

 storm, yet yesterday came off with a beautiful day, as if Nature designed to smile on the efforts 

 made to exhibit her beauties and bounties. The exhibition was well attended both in the after- 

 noon and evening, particularly the latter, when there was a perfect "jam," feasting their eyes on 

 the luscious specimens of fruit, and the rich displays of the floral kingdom, while vegetarians 

 looked with admiration on the array of kitchen e<libles. On the whole, this second exiiibition 

 of our Horticultural Society has come ofl' with credit and honor to all those engaged. — Auburn
