The annual exhibition at the Society's Hall took place 

 ist week much to tlic satisfaction of the numerous visi- 

 ts who crowded the rooms for three successive days.— 

 -he display of fruits was never excelled, but on account 

 ■f the failure of the Dahlia, the show of flowers was not 

 o brilliant as that of last year. We shall devote the 

 rreater part of t)ie next paper to the dei-iled report ot the 

 '" — imitfee on fruits and Howers.

NOTICE. 



Those gentlemen who forwarded fruits for the late ex- 

 hibition of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, and 

 did not leave minutes of the same with the Committee, 

 ire respectfully requested to forward lists of the same, 

 directed to Mr Manning, to the care of Messrs Breck & 

 Co. New England Farmer oiBce, Boston, that there may 

 be no omissions in the report. 



For the Committee, 



Sept. 22. WILLIAM KENRICK, Chairman. 



Floijr. It is said that a few days since, 23 Stores in 



New York on the North River, were filled with flour ; 

 and that there were 30,000 barrels stored in Albany and 

 Trov. If this is a fact, why is it that we at the North 

 have to pay 8 and 9 dollars per barrel, when we ought to 

 have it for $5,00. We are inclined to think that the 

 New York dealers have missed a figure, when they say 

 that the price tlie present season will be 8, 9, and $10 

 per barrel, for so long as we can raise such crops of corn 

 as we shall the present season, and get wheat from 

 Maine, for a decent price, we will not encourage, nor had 

 the northern people ought to encourage, such monopoli- 

 sers of bread stutfs, as those merchants who deal in the 

 article— as there is no question but they are keeping it for 

 the purpose of raising the price. 



Mr Samuel Lewis, of Great Barrington, has raised 220 

 bushels of rye on five acres of land, be^ng 46 bushels to the 

 acre.
