Horticultural Exhibition in Hartford, Ct. — We are gratified to 

 learn from the receipt of a paper sent us by our correspondent, Dr. 

 E. VV. Bull, that the amateur cultivators of that city have commenc- 

 ed a series of Shows of Flowers and Fruits, and it is hoped that this 

 beginning will be a stimulus for every friend of the science to aid in 

 forwarding an object capal)le of affording so n)uch pleasure in a natu- 

 ral and useful way. The Show was held on Wednesday, June 22d, 

 and was well attended. There was a good display of j)lants, roses, 

 &c. The report of the exhibition we shall present with others at the 

 close of the volume. The next show of carnations and other flowers 

 will take place July 10. {Hartford Courant.)
