left sprinkle them over with fine salt. In repack- 

 ing, take care to turn them ; — let tjiem lie five or 

 six days ; then cover them vvilli a briiio that will 

 bear an ejrg. Let tliuii lie thus covereil, a month, 

 and they are fit for smoking. It is thought by 

 some, that corn cohs for bnrniri!,', give thcMn the 

 V>est flavor. If the smoke-house is good, and jirop- 

 er attention is paid to them, tJjey will smoke abun- 

 dantly in a few days, and need nr)t be smoked 

 from 3 to 6 months, as it is said Westphalia Haras

The talent and industry of those who compose 

 this Society are not to be hid under a bushel ; what 

 the capacity, and industry, and perseverance of 

 men can accomplish, in aid of ihe products of the 

 garden, and the field, we believe will be done by 

 the influence and efforts of the members of this 

 Society. There are comprised among its associ- 

 ates, many of our scientific and opulent citizens; 

 and many of our highly respected practical cuUi- 

 vators. 



We hope that none who are desirous of joining 

 ,lhe Society will be deterred, by the belief that its 

 ranks aie full. There is yet room, and wc do not 

 doubt, that before the anniversary meeting in Sep- 

 temlier (the month of fine fruits) its present num. 

 ber will be doubled. 



It IS desirable that those who wish to become 

 members should signify their intentions to some 

 one of the Society, that they may be i>roposod at 

 the next stated meeting. The Constitution and 

 Laws of the Society with the names of its officers 

 and members will be published in a few weeks. 



William Prince, Esq. proprietor of the Lin- 

 nsean Botanic Garden, at Flushing, Long Island, 

 has with a promptitude and liberality that is high- 

 ly appreciated by the Society, proposed to present 

 for its use, fifty trees of the finest varieties in 

 his Garden, so soon as any one shall be designated 

 to receive them. 



An official notice which we trust will be render- 

 ed acceptable to Mr Prince, will be made in due 

 time. C.

It is a source of real gratification to us, that M'e 

 ; re enabled to state, that upwards of one hdn- 

 OB.ED and SIXTY have become subscribers to this 

 institution. No extraordinary exertions have been 

 made to induce gentlemen to become members. — 

 'I'he objects of the Society are pretty generally 

 known, and appreciated. That it will have a de 

 fided influence upon the horticulture of the State 

 generally, wc feel certain ; an<l we presume it will 

 not be deemed invidious, if we say, that its ben- 

 efits in a practical view, will be felt, and seen, and 

 taattd extensively within, and contiguous to the city.
