EDITOE'S TABLE. 



have ever seen at one show. One gentleman, Mr. Freeoff, placed twenty-nine handsome boqnets 

 on the tables, besides a full exhibition of seventy-five named varieties of Roses, and other flowers 

 in proportion, for which he took the first premium. Another gentleman, Mr. S. S. Graves, I was 

 told, cut one thousand specimens of Roses for the exhibition, and leally fine ones these were, to<y 

 Messrs. Thorp, Smith, IIanchett & Co., of Syracuse, added decidedly to the exhibition from their 

 fine stock. 



There was also a very handsome display of strawberries, of such varieties as McAvoi/s Superior, 

 McAroi/'s Extra Red, Walker s Seedling, Crescent Seedling, Moyamensing Pine, Monroe Scarlet, 

 Genesee Seedling, Hovexfs Seedling, Burr's New Pine, Black Prince, Lizzy Randolph, Jennxfs Seed- 

 ling, Rival Hudson, Crimson Cone, Columbus, Boston Pine, <tc. ; but the only individuals who 

 exhibited moi-e than four vaiieties each were P. R. Freeoff, of Auburn, who took the first premium, 

 and R. G. Pardee, who, residing out of the county, was not in competition. The exhibition also 

 comprised a fine show of Vegetables, both grown imder glass and in the open air. 



It was held at Standford Hall, one of the finest in the wliole country fur such an exhibition, 

 and tlie fixtures and arrangements for the fair did great credit to their energetic committee. On 

 the whole, the exhibition was in the highest degree satisfactory to the citizens of Auburn, and 

 we bespeak for them another year a handsome delegation of floral and horticultural friends from 

 abroad, for this infant society has given in this its first exhibition a distinct proof of what it can 

 do wlien it gets into thorough working order. k. g. p. 



Geneva June Horticultural Exhibition. — Geneva held a very creditable exhibition on the 23d 

 for the first time. One great reason why it succeeded so greatly to the gratification of all, was, 

 doubtless, owing to the fact that numerous ladies, of the highest standing, wealth, and resources, 

 most freely bestowed their time, taste, and produce of their conservatories, and fine gardens, to 

 get it up and sustain it. As a consequence, the boquets and arrangements of fine flowers wore 

 almost unequalled. Those exhibited by Mrs. Gideon Lee, Mrs. T. D. Burrall, Mrs. W. K and I. 

 Clark, Mrs. Bradford, Mrs. Scott, and Mrs. Suydam, not to mention others, attracted marked 

 attention. But to me, one of the most attractive boquets I have yet seen on this or any exhibi- 

 tion, was one exclusively of wild flowers, gotten up in the best manner by J. M. Bradford, Esq. ; 

 certainly, some very rare and curious specimens graced tlie boquet. 



So many exhibited handsome Roses, that I hardly dare name any of the exhibitors. Captain 

 Darin's Roses, Strawberries, (fee, were very fine, and the same was the case with his next door 

 neighbor, I\Ir. Suydam. Mrs. Burrall, of course, had a large as well as select collection of Roses 

 and other flowers. 



The exhibition of Strawberries far surpassed any I have seen this season. Over one hundred 

 dishes of this luscious fruit, comprising over fifty varieties, were on the tables. Mr. Suydam was 

 awarded the first premium for the greatest variety, and Capt. Dakin, and Mr. Messee, for finest 

 specimens, and Mr. "W. F. Cook for best quart Boston Pine. R. G. Pardee had a large number 

 of varieties from his old garden in Palmyra, which were for exhibition merely. Messrs. Thorp, 

 Smith, IIanchett & Co., of Sjn-acuse, and Messrs. Dell & Collins, from Waterloo, as well as tlie 

 Messrs. Maxwklls and Messrs. Smiths, of this place, added mucli to tlie exhibition by the fine 

 display of fruits and flowers from their nurseries. Our friends from Syracuse exhibited eighteen 

 named varieties of fine Cherries, and lots of fine flowers ; but I must not take up more room to 

 refer to either lot, or specify wherein each one excelled. This exliibition was highly satisfactory, 

 and we expect to have even a better one another year. r, g. p.
