Omo State Pomologicm, Society. — To Fruit Growers nnd Nurserymen. — As it is expected 

 that there will be a large display of fruits at the coming Ohio State Fair, and many fruit 

 growers and nurserymen will be present on that occasion, it has been thought best to hold a 

 meeting of the State Fomoloffical Societij at Columbus, at the time of the Fair. This meeting 

 will commence on Tuesday evening, September 18th, and it is desired that members of the 

 Society and other fruit growers wishing to participate in the deliberations, should be present 

 with specimens of their fruits, especially peaches and pears, and such other fruits as have not 

 been fully examined and discussed at former meetings of the Society. 



Persons who maj' have new and rare specimens of fruit, which they wish to have examined 

 and reported on by the Society, and who may be unable to attend themselves, can send speci- 

 piens with a written statement of the names, history, &c., to the care of M. B. Bateham, 

 Ohio Cultivator Office, Columbus. It is expected that permission will be granted the Society 

 to tnke specimens of any new and rare vai-ieties of fruit that may be wanted for examination 

 from the tables at the State Fair, — and persons who intend exhibiting such fruits at the Fair, 

 Avill do well to add a few specimens for this purpose. A. H. Ernst, President. A. B. 

 Buttles, Secretary. M. B. Bateuam, Treasurer. 



Chester County Houticultural Society. — August Wth, 1855. — The stated meeting for 

 this month was held in the Society's Hall at the usual hour. Vice President, J. H. Bull, Esq., 

 in the chair. 



The display of specimens was very fine, both in quantity and quality. The shows of Achi- 

 niines. Gloxinias, &c., were very ci'cJitable to the growers, and the collections of greenhouse 

 plants from the different nurseries were unusually fine. 



Tiie display of fruit was poor, with the exception of the several fine plates of Pears and 

 Apples deposited by J. K. Eshlcman, M. D.
