The vegi'taVtlos were in the greatest profusion, hut though of tho best possible specimeuri 

 of culture, presented uo especial novelty calling for notice in this i)lace. 



FnriT Gro\ter's Society of Western New York. — The first annual exhibition of this 

 Society was held at Buffalo on the 13th and 14th of September. Members were in attend- 

 ance from a considerable number of the twenty-three counties embraced within its limits, 

 and a rich and select collection of fruits, many of them new and rare, were exhibited on the 

 tables. Several competent persons gave it as their opinion for extent and variety, this ex- 

 hibition has never before been equalled in the State. 



The report of the proceedings reached us one day too late to appear this month. 



The Philadelphia Cocxty Agricultural ExmniTiON, held two weeks since, was very 

 successful. The show of cattle, agricultural implements, &c., was creditable to all con- 

 cerned. We noticed some fine fruit. 



The New Jersey State Exhibition at Camden, followed close upon tho above. Tho hor- 

 ses, cattle, implements and fruits, all marked decided progress. The arrangements, as well 

 as those here, were on a liberal scale. 



Pexxsylvania Hokticultubal Society. — At the last stated meeting of the Society, Jlr. i:. 

 W. Keyser in the chair, no premiums being provided by the schedule, no displays were 

 presented. 



The Society had the gratification to inspect a new plant, to which the Committee called 

 the attention of the Society, from Caleb Cope's garden, the Billbergia thays'folia; also a 

 fine collection of cut seedling Dahlias, by Gerhard Schmitz. 



The Reports of the Committees for awarding premiums at the 27th Exhibition, held on 

 Penn Square, were submitted and acted upon. 



On motion, ordered, that the thanks of the Society be tendered to the City Councils for 

 their most liberal permission of using S. li. division of Penn Square, for the 27th Autum- 

 nal Exhibition. 



On motion. Resolved, That the thanks of the Society are due to Mr. C. P. Fox, for the 

 tender of his lot at the corner of 16th and Market streets, for holding our Autumnal Exhi- 

 bition on. 



Letters of invitation from several Societies to attend their exhibitions were read. 



Mr. F. Trowbridge advertises this month, Cranberry Plants of the bell or egg-shaped 

 variety. See our advertising sheet. 



The Season. — It has been a busy month with our friends, both Horticultural and Agri- 

 cultural, and October promises to be no less stirring. From every quarter the happy note 

 of the rewarded laborer has reached us. Had we been divided into numerous parts, it 

 would have been impossible to have been present at all the fetes and exhibitions to which 

 the kindest invitations and " complimentary tickets" have held out inducements to travel , 

 from the famous afi'airs at Chicago and Boston, where we may yet find it possible to be, to 

 he Agricultural and Horticultural Meetings, North, South, East and West. Correspondents 

 and special reporters will aid us, we trust, in presenting an early abstract of proceedings, 

 and always if possible, with point and brevity. With such a season as the past, we are 

 reminded of the lines of Milton : — 



" Wherefore did nature pour her bounties forth 

 With such a full and unwithdrawing hand. 

 Covering the earth with odors, fruits and flocks. 

 But all to please, and sate the curious iasie."
