Department of Horticulture. Only one exhibition has 

 been held during the past year, that took place on Wednesday, 

 Thursday and Friday, Sept. 19, 20 and 21. 



The display of Flowers was somewhat limited, owing to a 

 heavy rain on the day preceding the opening of the exhibition. 



That of Fruity though not as extensive as some seasons, 

 maintained the usual degree of merit in the fine specimens of 

 pears which were placed upon the tables. The great deficiency 

 being in that of the apples, and more particularly in peaches 

 and plums. 



That of Vegetables was more extensive than at any previous 

 exhibition. It has been suggested that more attention should 

 be given to this department, which is by all means the most 

 servicable for the support of man; — with a little effort, a fine 

 collection could be made, which would compare favorably with 

 the same in other sections of the State.
