348 THE FLORIST AND 



NOISETTE ROSE "BEAUTY OF GREENMOUNT." 



This Rose is a seedling of Messrs. Pentland and Brother, Greenmount 

 gardeners, Baltimore, Md. It received the first premium for the best seed- 

 ling exhibited last year. It is free blooming, bearing large clusters, the 

 flowers are shaped like Hermosa, very double, and of a rich cherry color. 

 Another not yet named, is a pure white, a constant bloomer, with extra 

 large clusters and very fragrant. They have both been pronounced to 

 be among the finest of their class and quite distinct. J. 



NEW YORK STATE FAIR. 



The Fourteenth Annual Show of the New York State Agricultural So- 

 ciety, was held on the 3d, 4th, 5th, and 6th days of October, in Hamilton 

 Square, in the upper part of the City of New York. The arrangements 

 were in the same style as those of the Pennsylvania Fair. The Show of 

 cattle, we hear, was superior to ours, as might have been expected from the 

 liberal importations of fine stock, by Messrs. Becar, Stevens, Morris and 

 others. There were 205 horses entered, principally blood horses and trot- 

 ters : among which, were Trustee, Monarch and Fashion. The Mules were 

 very numerous and superior. The Sheep, Swine, Poultry, &c, were well 

 represented. Vegetables and Fruit are said to have been shown in abund- 

 ance, and good quality. The Plants from Messrs. Thomas Hogg & Sons, 

 Ellwanger & Barry, and others, are highly spoken of. The number of per- 

 sons visiting the Fair was small, and consequently, the receipts were not 

 great. The American Agriculturist, from which we take the above, puts 

 the receipts at $10,000, less than one half the sum realized in our City. 



THE MARYLAND HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY 



Held their Annual Exhibition on the 4th, 5th and 6th of October. The 

 Show was a very fine one, considering the extreme drought which prevailed 

 during the summer. The Vegetables were remarkably fine, and in great 

 abundance, more so than at any previous Exhibition of the Society. Of 

 Fruits, there was also a fine collection, and a beautiful display of Plants 

 and Flowers. The greastest drawback, was the want of a proper place to 

 display all that was offered : the large Hall of the Maryland Institute, be- 

 ing occupied by the Annual Exhibition of that Society.
