The Horticultural Society of Maryland held its third annual Exhibi- 

 tion on the 3d, 4th and 5th of June, in the spacious Hall of the " Balti- 

 more Assembly Rooms." Notwithstanding tlie unusual backwardness of 

 the season, which had caused the postponement of the Exhibition to a 

 time when many of our finest exotics had passed their bloom, the collec- 

 tion was very full, and what we had lost in some species, was niade up in 

 others that we could not have had at an earlier day. The display of 

 roses, particularly, was splendid beyond any former example in this city. 

 Almost every variety of garden rose was in high perfection, and their 

 number and quality, when collected and contrasted in the Hall, was most 

 gratifying. The pasonies, also, made a fine display ; though most of the 

 varieties were out of bloom, we yet had the queen of the tribe, the splendid 

 Whitleji, or large double white ; and her two beautiful handmaids, the 

 humoi— the splendid double ])ink— and the fragrans, or double rose 

 scented. These three are the finest of all the herbaceous kinds, though 

 there are very many truly elegant ones. In one garden in this city there 

 are tweiity-four kinds. Thissplendid plant ought to be more generally 

 introduced into private collections, as it is perfectly hardy, and requires 

 neither care nor labor, after the roots are put into the ground.
