Horticultural Exhibition. — The committee would again earnestly solicit 

 the friends of agriculture, horticulture, and of rural economy, to partici- 

 pate with the managers of the American Institute in the promotion of 

 American interests, by an exhibition of the fruits of their industry and 

 skill at their seventeenth Annual Show, next October. 



A spacious room will be provided for the reception of flowers, fruits, 

 vegetables, agricultural and dairy productions, garden implements, orna- 

 ments, paintings, and such other articles in connection with the several 

 branches, as may be forwarded for exhibition or competition. 



The managers have been again induced to offer agricultural and horti- 

 cultural books as premiums for superior specimens of garden and field 

 productions, because they consider mental acquirements the most enduring 

 memorials ; and as a beautifully embellished diploma will accompany each 

 volume, it is presumed that competitors will prefer them to other premiums. 



As it is expected, from the lateness of the season in which the show is ■ 

 unavoidably held, that there will be a deficiency of some kinds of garden 

 products for which premiums are offered, the committee are authorized to 

 announce, that, although the managers feel at liberty to withhold pre- 

 miums when the articles exhibited are deemed inferior in their kinds by 

 the judges, they have nevertheless determined to award all the book pre- 

 miums offered, should sufficient articles be found to merit such premiums, 

 and they have resolved further, to give discretionary premiums for extra 

 supplies of flowers, or such other articles in the horticultural room as may 

 be deemed by the judges as entitled to special distinction. 



All articles intended to be exhibited, should be delivered as early as 

 possible on Monday, the 7th of October, in order to have them properly 

 arranged by 9 o'clock on Tuesday morning, at which time the room will 

 be opened to the public. 



Cultivators of flowers are respectfully invited to furnish fresh supplies 

 on the morning of each day, which will be duly appreciated, and recorded 

 on the annals of the Institute. 



Valuable American Seedlings of Fruit and Culinary Vegetables will 

 command the attention of the managers. Also, the exhibition of Ameri- 

 can Madder, Woad and Indigo, with their modes of culture. Also, Amer- 

 ican water-rotted and manufactured Hemp. 



For the purpose of examining standing crops in fields, orchards, vine- 

 yards, gardens, &c., a Travelling Committee of the Fair will be appointed, 

 who will make examinations within convenient distances, and report. 

 Seasonable notices should be left with the Corresponding Secretary of 

 the Institute, by those desirous of being visited. 



A cordial invitation is hereby respectfully extended 1o every friend of 

 industry and improvement in the United States — to the sages, patriots 

 and statesmen of every State, that each and all may come and participate, 

 and swell the sublime gathering, and make it what it should be, the grand 

 American Jubilee of Industry and the Arts.
