Remarks.— The only article that has advanced since our last 
is Flour, and this is owing to the small quantity in this market. 
The Erie Canal will soon be open, when we shall have abun- 
dant supplies and lower prices. 
Money continues abundant with large importations of specie. 
The Weather is now favorable for getting in spring crops. We 
continue to ha ve gloomy reports of the wheat crop being more or 
less-winter killed ; yet \tfe doubt whether this is much greater 
than usual. 
TRANSACTIONS OF THE 
MASSACHUSETTS HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 
THE Massachusetts Horticultural Society announces to the 
Public, that its Committee of Publication is preparing to publish 
the first number of a series of Transactions of this Society. 
This publication has been for some years in contemplation, 
and materials have been collected for this purpose; but it has 
been hitherto delayed until the funds of the Society should 
enable it to be produced in a style of excellence which could not 
fail to render it both permanent, and an honor to the advanced 
state of the Horticulture of the present day. 
It is intended that the work shall be in Royal Octavo, and 
the numbers shall appear as frequently as materials accumulate; 
each shall contain from four to six Plates, chiefly of Fruits, but 
occasionally of Flowers, drawn and colored from nature, by the 
best talent the country can produce, and also the proceedings of 
the Society, including the reports of the weekly and annual ex¬ 
hibitions, to the date of publication. 
The society hopes soon to offer such premiums for able com¬ 
munications on Horticultural subjects, as shall secure to these 
Transactions papers conlaining information of great practical 
value to all interested in this pursuit. 
Although the authors of papers will alone be generally re¬ 
sponsible for their contents, yet all accounts and descriptions of 
Fruits will be published under the immediate supervision of the 
Fruit Committee, and of Flowers under that of the Flower Com¬ 
mittee ; so that the authenticity of the Society will be attached 
to the most essential portions of their Transactions. 
To establish a standard for all the present varieties of fruit, 
and to enable the public to judge of the quality of new kinds, as 
they shall be presented from imported trees, or from varieties 
originating in this country, will be one of the principal purposes 
of these Transactions, and will receive the particular attention, 
not only of the Committees of this Society, but also of the most 
experienced of its individual members. 
The price to the members of the Society, will be about the 
cost of plates, printing, &c., and will not exceed seventy-five 
cents per number—to others the charge will be one dollar. 
All communications intended for publication, may be addressed 
to J. E. Teschemacher, Esq., Corresponding Secretary of the 
Society, Boston. 
Orders and subscriptions for these Transactions, may be ad¬ 
dressed to W. D. Ticknor & Co., publishers, corner of Wash- 
ington and School streets.
