Cincinnati Horticultural Society. — First Fall Exhibition, Sept. 

 20th and 21st, 18-43. — The first great exhibition of this newly organized 

 Society was held in Cincinnati, on the 20th and 21st days of September 

 last. In a previous page will be found some notice of it, from our corres-

 occasion. In connexion with the following report from the committee, it 

 gives at once a general view of the progress of horticulture in the Queen 

 city of the West. To our old friends Mr. Russell and Mr. Parkhurst, 

 the amateurs of Cincinnati are much indebted for the zeal manifested 

 by them in the organization and future proceedings of the Society. A 

 good beginning has been made, and we shall look for results, second to no 

 other city of the Union. The following is the report : — 



The first fall exhibition of this Society was held, at the Assembly 

 Rooms in this city, on the 20th and 21st of September, and far exceeded 

 the most sanguine expectations of the members, and others interested in 

 its welfare. We shall endeavor, as far as our feeble efforts will allow, 

 to give some description of the decorations of the room, premising, that, 

 unique as were those decorations, the Committee of Arrangement found 

 that too short a time had been allowed to make the necessary preparation, 

 requisite to give that display they had in their power, had longer time
