This Society is to meet iu Corinthian Hall, 
in this city, the 13t.h day of September—that is, 
just one week and three days from the date of 
this paper. Let t he reader make an item of this 
faet in his memoranda. 
The official circular announces that, “ among 
the prominent subjects which will come before 
the Society at this session, will be that of the 
revision of the Society 's Catalogue of Fruits.” 
This it* an important subject for discussion, and 
will elicit many Important facts—chief of which 
will be the one that it is folly for the Society to 
recommend any list of any class of fruit for 
“general cultivation,”—that time so expended 
is worse than wasted, because it will mislead 
and disappoint a far greater number of cultiva¬ 
tors than it will benefit. If the local com¬ 
mittees in the different .Statesdo their duty, and 
send up their lists of fruits adapted to their re¬ 
spective localities, and these are carefully ar¬ 
ranged and compiled Into the transactions of 
the Society, it will be a great and valuable work 
accomplished. But it should be remembered 
that even such lists ean only be approximately 
correct—especially if there is but a single com¬ 
mittee in each State to do this work. For some 
of our States arc Empires In area, and embrace 
as many kinds of soil, climate, elevation, &c., as 
may be found in all the States. The aim of the 
Society should be, wc think, to accumulate and 
arrange the reports from as many different

tuck them up. Blankets, sheets, and cloth,

COLORING RIBBON-CHEAP COFFEE. 
I send you the following recipes, and your 
Ripening Tomatoes. 
The following is found afloat among our ex¬ 
changes, and we do not know its origin. It may 
be worth trying, at least:—“ If tomato vines are 
pulled up before the frost comes, and hung up 
in a well ventilated cellar, with the tomatoes 
hanging to them, the ‘ love apple ’ will continue 
ripening until Christmas. The cellar should 
not be too dry nor too warm. The knowledge 
of this may be improved to great practical ad¬ 
vantage for the benefit of many who are invalids, 
and w r ho are fond of the tomato.” 
great Natloual work—the cultivation of the 
National Orchard and Fruit Garden. 
One other suggestion: There will be repre¬ 
sentatives here from most of the loyal States. 
Of course State pride is one of the commendable 
qualities in a citizen. But it should not be over¬ 
weening nor obstrusive. Each State, through 
its representative, should have the opportunity 
to be heard on all subjects. This is written 
because we havo heard complaints that this is 
not always the case—whether there was cause 
tor complaint we cannot say. There should be 
no seeming cau.-c. 
We close this article by copying from the 
Official Circular again:-”Members and dele¬ 
gates are requested to contribute specimens of 
the fruits of their respective districts, and to 
communicate, in regard to them, whatever may 
aid in promoting the objects of the Society and 
the Science of American Pomology. Each con¬ 
tributor is requested to eome prepared with a 
complete list of his collection, and to present 
the same with bis fruits, that a report of all the 
varieties entered may he submitted to the meet¬ 
ing as soon us practicable. Packages of fruits 
may be addressed as follows:—‘American Pomo-

How TO MAKE GOOD COFFEE CHEAPLY,— 
Take 2 lbs. of good sale coffee, brown well; add 
to this, when you grind it, the following prepa¬ 
ration: lake 4 lbs. wheat bran, moistened with 
1 pint of molasses and 1 pint of water; place it in 
the oven and brown nicely. Then grind this 
with the sale coffee, stirring it nicely to mix it 
well, and you will have as good a substitute for 
coffee as was ever used. Be sure to mix the 
bran, molasses and water well before puttins 
them in the oven to brown. Try, and satisfy 
yourselves, and you will be surprised at the 
saving, while your eoffee will be just as good as 
pure coffee.— Victoria, Hu uconda, 111 .

ably tells a gratifying truth iu the following language: 
••The heavy taxes on the manufacture of wines, are 
expected to produce depressing effects on logwood, 
gooseberries, elder berries and other elements of cele¬

ably human stomachs will gain.”

THE HONEY LOCUST FOR HEDGES 
RAILROAD, EXPRESS COMPANIES 
FRUIT GROWERS, 
brought her work along—a beautiful plaid silk 
press she was making for a young lady. My 
little boy knocked a bottle of sweet oil off the 
window into her lap, so you cau understand 
what a condition the silk dress was iu. It hap¬ 
pened to be all on the skirt, and when she held 
it up It run down in streams. First, we spread 
brown paper on the table, then grated chalk on 
it thick, then laid the silk on, then more chaik, 
Lhen more paper, and then ironed it with a 
pretty hot iron. When wo took it up the chalk 
was so full of oil that it broke up in pieces. We 
had to repeat the process twice, when you 
couldn’t tell where grease had been. That was 
two years ago, and the young lady wears it yet, 
aud h:is never suspected how her dress was 
ruined once.— Mrs. S., Illinois. 1864. 
W E have before ns a circular from 8. Boaud- 
jian & Co,, nurserymen, of this city, calling 
attention to the Honey Locust as a plant for 
hedging purposes. This circular calls it “ the 
best plant for hedging puiqmses iu cultivation.” 
We are not prepared to assert that it is the best 
plant, but the more we gee of it, the more we 
think it is not excelled by any with which we are 
acquainted. It is hardy, compact in habit, 
bears pruning well, has sharp, strong thorns, 
and a beautiful foliage in hedge row. We do 
not know of a plant which we can so confidently 
recommeud as a hedge plant for the more 
northern latitudes, and which combines more 
desirable qualities.

water, and sponge gently: hang the gat meat in

evaporate, leaving no trace of damage to the
