It must be gratifying to the friends of horticulture to observe the in- 

 creased attention bestowed upon this favorite science, in our city and vi- 

 cinity, not only in this great number of contributors, but in the almost in- 

 finite variety of fruits and flowers exhibited, — their beauty, magnitude 

 and size far exceeding that of former exhibitions, particuiaily in the dis- 

 plav of apples, which are said to be unprecedented. — W. — Salem, JVov.
