Exhibition's. — The New Yorh Horticultural Society (see advertising pages) annoance 

 tlieir fall exhibition on the 20th, 21st, and 22d of September— the same days, unfortunately, 

 on which the N. Y. State Fair is held at Saratoga. The Society is making great efforts 

 to get up a creditable show, and we trust will be successful. They say that their pre- 

 mium list is liberal, but on looking it over, we can see little worthy of being called liberal 

 for a metropolitan show. Neither do we think the premiums well proportioned. The same 

 premiums are awarded for Savoy cabbages, and cauliflower, and brocoli. $10 is offered for 

 the best four hot-house plants in bloom, and only $5 for the best collection of coniferfc. 

 For the best twelve roses, just the same as the best twelve verbenas, phloxes, or antirrhi- 

 nums, and the same for the ttco lest 2nimp'kins as for the lest general display of TcgetaMes. 

 The premiums on foreign grapes are somewhat liberal, amounting to betAveen $50 and $G0. 

 The New Yorh State Agricultural Society holds its annual show at Saratoga, on the 20th, 

 21st, and 22d of September. The grounds and arrangements are said to be more complete 

 and convenient than they have ever been before, and we have no doubt the show will be a 

 good one.
