EDITOR'S TABLE. 



Maxwei.t, & Co., of Geneva; A. Fhost & Co., G. 11. Cheijuy & Co., and Eli.wanokk <k 

 Bakuy, of ]{ofhcster ; all contribiitvil largely. John J. Tiiomak, of Maccdon, prcstiited a 

 handsome collection. Among his pears wo observed a dish of W>ix/iiii'j(on— wry lieiiiiti- 

 ful — the finest we have seen. N. & E. S. IIaywabd, of Brighton, as usual, made a tine 

 displaj' of iipples, peaches, and grapes. 



There was a strong coinpetilion for the ])rciniums offered for select assortments — such 

 as the best 20, 12, 6, «S:c., of the various fruils. 



Of jieaehes there were few. [Mr. Mouse, of Cayuga, and the Messrs. IIaywaiu), of 

 Brighton, had small collections. It was also too late for plums, but Mr. E. Dour, of 

 Albany, had a nice collection of 12 or 14 varieties; Mr. Bennett, of Mechanicsville, a 

 small collection ; and Ellwanger & Barky, some 14 varieties. 



In the way of tlowers, Mechanicsville made tlie most numerous contributions. Mrs. E. 

 L. E. Smith, of that place, presented a very handsome named collection of Dahlias, inclu- 

 ding some fine new sorts. Mrs. T. Mabbett, Mrs. Samuel Lewis, Mrs. J. M. Smith, Mrs. 

 Geo. "Warren, and Mrs. P. Bennett, all of Mechanicsville, contributed flowers, boquets, 

 and floral ornaments, in profusion. Wm. Newcomb made a showy display of Asters. 



Among nurserymen, the largest contributors were .Jonathan Batty, of Keoseville ; Jas. 

 Wilson, of Albany; and Messrs. Frost & Co., and Ellwanger & Barry, of Koohester. 



The best collections of Roses, Verbenas, &c., were from a distance, and had all suffered 

 much from carriage ; beside, there was not space enough to arrange them to appear well. 

 We regretted to see good things crowded off the stands to make way for mere rubbish, and 

 to see valuable space occui)ied with objects miscalled floral ornaments, anything but orna- 

 mental. 



Of vegetables there Avere a few small collections. The best were from Theodore Backus, 

 of Rochester ; N. Culver, of Wayne county ; and P. Reilly, gardener to J. B. Finley, 

 Esq., of Saratoga. Mr. Crosman, of Rochester, sent a good collection, but they never 

 reached the show grounds. 



We must say for the superintendent of the floral tent, 'Sir. A. F. Chatfield, of Albany, 

 that he did all in his power for the convenience of exhibitors, and the general good of the 

 exhibition. The fault was not his that arrangements were not more satisfiictory. 

 We subjoin the reports of committees, as follows :
