A Committee, appointed for the purpose, have in preparation for the 

 press a pamphlet containing the new code of By-laws, a list of the mem- 

 bers of the Society, and the Premiums to be awarded at the next annual 

 exhibition, &c. &c. 



The prosperous condition of the Society, and the increasing horticul- 

 tural resources of the County, encourage us to hope that the future exhi- 

 bitions of this society will not be less frequent or attractive than those of 

 former years have been. If every member will do a little, the combined 

 result will be most gratifying to all. — {\Yorc. Spy.) 



Cincinnati Horticultural Society. — The annual meeting of this society

 remarks. He thanked the members for the honor they had conferred on

Annual Fair oj the Neiv York State Agricultural Society. — Premiums on 

 Flowers and Fruits to be awarded. — We are pleased to call the attention of 

 amateurs and cultivators of fruit to the liberal premiums offered by this soci- 

 ety for collections of fruit cultivated ow^ of the State; so liberal that we 

 hope, not only for the reputation of New England as a fine fruit region, 

 but for the interests of cultivators themselves, a magnificent display will 

 be made from the vicinity of Boston. The west will be well represented 

 at the Fair at Syracuse, and the number of pomologists which will be 

 drawn together there on account of the meeting of the North American 

 Pomological Convention will be large, and afford a fine opportunity for an 

 interchange of sentiments, — an examination of specimens — and the detec- 

 tion of synonymes with which our catalogues are yet too much encumbered. 



The following is the Schedule of Premiums as offered by the State So- 

 ciety : —
