P. C. Reynolds exhibited six varieties of 
good quality. 
The Committee would report, in conclusion, 
that the exhibition of pears and grapes was very 
fine and highly creditable to the exhibitors. If 
they should take the liberty of specifying any 
variety of grapes for general cultivation, they 
would designate the Delaware.

Now is the time to layer the canes of the 
Black-Cap Raspberry, to get new plants. If you 
have a stock in your garden and wish to enlarge 
it, yon can easily do so. Look at the extreme 
tips of the canes and you will see they are of a 
reddish color, pointed and bare of leaves. These 
tips should be stuck in the ground just deep 
enough to keep from springing out, or being 
blown out by the wind. Next spring you will 
find a finely-rooted plant on the end of each cane 
bnried. Only one plant should be made from a 
cane, and that from the extreme tip. The 
bushes from which yon propagate should like¬ 
wise be but one year old. Plants can be grown 
from older bushes, but they are not considered 
as good. You should calculate to renew your 
Black-Caps every two or three years. 
THE NARCISSUS FAMILY 
blooming flowers, Including the well known 
Daffodil and Jonquil. Most of the varieties are 
hardy, and should be planted in the autumn, 
like the Hyacinth, but may remain in the ground 
a number of years, after which they will become 
so matted together as to make a division of the 
roots necessary. Some of the varieties are 
double and showy, and the single are delicate 
and beautiful. 
The engraving will give a very good idea of 
the form of the Single flowers, and the central 
cup, which being of a different color from the 
six petals, makes these flowers exceedingly 
attractive. Some have the petals of a light yel-1 
low and the cup orange; others have the petals 
white and the cup yellow; while the Poet’s Nar¬ 
cissus, (Natrrfmta pocticus,) sometimes called 
Pheasant’s Eye, Is snowy white, the cup cream 
color, with a delicate fringed edge of red, which 
gives its latter name. The Double varieties are 
very desirable. Tbc common Daffodil is well 
known under that name, though not so well by 
its true one. 1 'an Sion. Orange D/uenix is some¬ 
times called Bntter-and-Eggs, as the large petals 
are creamy yellow and the short ones orange. 
The engraving shows this flower.

The President, P. Barry, Esq., took the 
Chair at 11 A. M., and appointed Messrs. Bron¬ 
son of Geneva, Hooker of Rochester, and Bea¬ 
dle of St. Catharines, a Committee to report 
subjects for discussion; Messrs. Olmsted of 
Genesee county, Hbkendeen of Wayne county, 
and 8harpe of Niagara county, a Committee to 
examine fruits on exhibition. 
The Committee on subjects made their report 
promptly, and the Society proceeded to their 
discussion. 
DISCUSSION ON GRAPES. 
On the subject of mildew there seemed to be 
a marked unanimity of opinion. Plenty of air 
and 6un is the only preventive, and this must 
be secured by judicious prunlug. 
Mr. Craine of Lockport, said the poorest va¬ 
riety for shipping was the Concord. Isabella 
and Diana are good. Rogers’ Nos. -t, 19, 15, 
ships well. Hartford Prolific ships well in small 
boxes, so as to sell without dividing, but they 
will not bear handling. 
Mr. Little of Rochester— The objection to 
Concord is partially overcome by allowing them 
to wilt somewhat before packing. 
Mr. Clark of Naples, packed many tuns of 
Isabellas. Allowed them to wilt for eight or ten 
days before packing. Packed in round boxes 
holding about four pounds. 8old in Philadel¬ 
phia and Baltimore. Thought if Concord was 
well packed there would not be much complaint. 
Mr. Babcock of Lockport, found the Concord 
too tender for shipping. Tho berries crack 
badly even in picking from the vine. Wilting 
would not cure this fault. Delaware, Isabella 
and Diana were good shipping varieties. Hart¬ 
ford Prolific very good. 
H. E. Hooker thought tho period of ripening 
might have some Influence on the value of the 
grape for shipping. The Isabella ripened after 
the hot weather was over, and ibis may he the 
reason why it is so good lor shipping. 
The Committee explained that by new varieties 
was inteuded those which had been introduced 
since Diana, Delaware and Hartford l’roliflc.

J. J. 'Thomas thought there was little differ¬

E. Moody of Lockport, thought grapes

Mr. Jason Seward thotight much of the
