tural Society, on the 17th, 18tli and 19th ; and it will also enable them to 

 take with them, if they go, or, if not, to send, specimens of the same fruits 

 which were gatliered for exliibition at home, and which, so early as they 

 would have had to have been forwarded to reach Cincinnati on tlie 11th, 

 the time first sot, would not have been half grown. We strongly urged our 

 western friends, last auttnnn, to put oft' the exhibition until after the eastern 

 shows were all over. — Ed. 



Muskingum County Horticultural Society, Ohio. — Mr. Cox, the 

 Secretary of this Society, has sent us the following report of the exhibition 

 of strawberries and other fruits, held June 12th, at Zanesville : — 



Rev. C. Springer, of Springfield, presented a basket of apples, called 

 Springer's Seedling, preserved in barrels, in the ordinary mode. They 

 were in a very fine state of presei-vation, retaining both their firmness and 

 flavor in an unusual degree. It would be proper to say the same variety of 

 apples were exhibited at the fall show of 1849, of the previous year's 

 growth ; their flavor was then somewhat injured, but tlieir firmness well 

 preserved. 



Mr. Barnard, of Falls, presented several baskets of strawberries, embrac- 

 ing the following varieties : — Hovey's Seedling, Ohio Mammoth, Burr's 

 New PLne, Burr's Old Seedling, Hudson, Duke of Kent, Scarlet, Iowa, 

 Chilian Scarlet, Large Early Scarlet, and also a seedling of much merit, 

 which was rather small in size, but the " tasting conmiittee" pronounced 

 the flavor superior to any of the other varieties presented. It was in flavor 

 much like Hovey's Seedling, but rather sweeter. Hovey's Seedling, for 

 size and flavor combined, was considered the best exhibited, one of which 

 measured full four inches in circumferencQ. One of the Ohio Mammoth 

 measured three and three fourth inches in circumference. The Hudson 

 and Early Scarlet Avere undoubtedly the same variety. 



Mr. E. T. Cox, of Springfield, also presented baskets of Burr's New 

 Pine, and Ohio Mammoth, of very fine size and quality. — Jas. L. Cox, 

 Secretai-y, June 12ih, 1850.
