[SEPTESfBER, 
Camellias. — If tbe flower buds are so thick as to 
crowd, retuove a portion. Clean the folia^re with a 
damp sponge, and repot if needed. 
Bnuqing in plants from out of doors will be 
goveined by the locality. Take in the more tender 
ones first. Clean the pots thorouffhly, and renew 
the surface soil. Remove dead leaves, trim and 
stake those needing it, and renew defaced labels. 
Cold CJi-apery. — The fruit is now generally 
ripe, except perhaps some very late varieties, and 
the atmosphere of the house is to be kept dry. 
Ventilate freely in fine weather, but close up during 
a storm. Keep a look out for rats and boys. 
Apiary in September. — Weak stocks at 
this season simply waste honey, and tempt other 
bees to rob them. While buckwheat is in blossom, 
there will be little robbing, but as soon as it fails, 
there will be several hives emptied very quickly, 
unless watch is kept, and the weak stocks strength- 
ened or protected. Leave no honey where bees 
can get at it. When bees cau protect the entrance 
of their hive, they will do so, hence make the fly- 
holes of weak stocks very narrow. When bees are 
robbing and a stock succumbs, the conquered party 
turns about and helps the victors remove the spoils. 
If a stock is found with abundant supplies of honey, 
yet weak in bees, it may be strengthened by ]>lac- 
ing it upon the Bt,and of a strong hive when many 
of the bees are out. If a queen is wanting, a 
frame of brood comb with fresh eggs may be sup- 
plied, in case the drones are not all killed, or a 
weak colony with its queen may be united with 
the queenless one. Very few bees furnish the 
strongest indication of quecnlessness. Stocks 
which have honey, and which it is decided not to 
■winter, should not be broken up until all the brood 
is hatched and matured. The bees may then be 
added to other stocks, and the clean empty combs 
Bet away for use another year. Surplus honey 
boxes should be taken off as soon as bees cease to 
store in them, or they will empty them soon.

American Pomolo^'ical Society.— 
Poslponement— Just as we are going to pies's we leceive 
the following circular, signed by the Hon. Marshall P. 
Wilder, Piesirlent -.—"Whereas, The American Pomolngt- 
cal Sociely was onlered to be convened at St, Louis, 
Mo., on the fouith day of September next, for the purpose 
of holding its Eleventh Session ; ami, 11^/ifrfas, the ex- 
istence of Cholera in several of the cities of the United 
Slates has become manifest, Ihereby creating more than 
usual precaution in regard to visiting places distant from 
home: Therefore, in consideration of this fact, and also 
of the fact that there is a small crop of fruit in many 
parts of our country, the undersigned, by and with the 
advice of the Executive Committee and other leading 
Pomologisis, does hereby postpone and defer the meeting 
of said sociely to the year A. D. 1867, when due notice 
will be given for its assembling, in the aforesaid city of 
St. Louis."— This will carry disappointment to a great 
many, and we think the action is hardly based on sufficient . 
reasons. In New York we too have cholera, and don't 
mind it at all. It is a di-ease of the poor and miserable 
only, and to postpone an important meeting on so slight 
an excuse, strikes us as something particularly absurd.
