FLOWERS, FRUITS, &c., AT THE PENN 
SYLVAN IA STATE FAIR. 
From notes of the. display In the various de¬ 
partments of the Pennsylvania 8tnte Fair, fur¬ 
nished us by a correspondent, W., who was 
present, wc extract the following relative to the 
Horticultural exhibition : 
Filtering the ground, we come to Floral Hall. 
By the way, the tent itself was from the estab¬ 
lishment of Jah, Field of Rochester. Only two 
Rochester firms were represented at the Fair, 
and both of these were to be found here. Mr. 
Jah. Vick, through his son, made a splendid 
show of cut flowers, and although no premium 
vraB allowed on a general collection, the Com¬ 
mittee deemed them worthy of especial notice. 
Mr. Vten’s first premiums were as follows; —On 
Asters, Dianthus, Pansies, Phloxes, Verbenas 
and MuskmclonB. C. W. Sibley, agent for 
Char. W. Bkelbv, had a very tine show of 
Grapes, Apples and Pears. Premiums were 
awarded him on all articles ho exhibited. 
A largo collection ot pot plants, cut flowers 
and tine vegetables, from the gardens of Jno, 
Evenden of Williamsport, did much credit to 
that youthlul city. Indeed, had it not been lor 
his excellent taste on the arrangement of his 
articles, the halt would have looked extremely 
barren. A large rustic mound 10 or 12 feet 
high formed the center from which a tine foun¬ 
tain showered delicious coolness on the air. 
Mr. E. has the credit of this also. Jno. Hamil¬ 
ton of Pine Creek Township, showed 55 varie¬ 
ties of apples, mostly native sorts. Wc noticed 
but three varieties known and cultivated in 
Western New York, ne was awarded a special 
premium of $50. 
The Pleasant Valley Wine Co., represented 
by one of the firm, Mr. A. Y. Baker, had their 
unusual assortment of wines and brandies. He 
showed Pennsylvania what New York could do 
in that line. 
THE BULB FARMS OF HAARLEM 
In the first place the natural soil about Haar¬ 
lem Is composed chiefly ot Baud and decaying 
shell, which has been thrown up in former times 
by the ocean. It also contains a portion of veg¬ 
etable matter, and Is enriched Mutually by a 
liberal supply of cow-dung — the only kind of 
manure which is used. The land which is to be 
planted with the bulbs Is trenched 2 or 5 loet 
deep in spring, und manured at the same time. 
But it Is not yet in a tit condition for the recep- 
of the Hyacinth. And mark, particularly, the 
next preparitory operation. A crojj of vegetables, 
generally Potatoes, is takenoj)' it, iu order to draw 
out any rankness or impurities which might 
prove injurious to the Hyacinth. This being 
done during the spring and summer months, 
the land is ready for the reception of the bulbs 
in autumn, which Is the proper season to plant 
them. Nor is this all; a careful system of rota¬ 
tion iu cropping is also observed, 0 t hat, these 
bulbs arc rarely, if ever, grown on the same land 
two years in succession. 
When planted in October, the bulbs are cover¬ 
ed over with 3 or 4 inches of soil, and arc further 
protected during the winter months with ala) ci 
of reed, some 5 or t) inches in thickness. And 
now the process of growth immediately begins, 
and in a way to which we beg leave Id draw par¬ 
ticular attention. It Is the roots only that grow. 
They strike deep down into the earth in search 
of nourishment, while the stem remains, all but 
inactive, patiently waiting forthc time when the 
roots shall be In a position to supply all the re¬ 
quirements. And thus it happens that when 
the spring comes round, and when the bulb be¬ 
gins to grow, as we say, a sufficient supply of 
nourishment is readily and abundantly supplied. 
Auother point which the Dutch tultiva'O con¬ 
siders ofgreat importance Is the careful preserva¬ 
tion and full developemcnt of the leaves. Any 
disease in the leaves Is rapidly communicated to 
the bulb, and hence every precaution is nsed to 
keep them iu health and vigor. The flower stems 
themselves are usually removed before they are 
in full bloom, not with the view, .is is sometimes 
supposed, of strengthening the bulbs, but in 
order to prevent the heavy flower-heads from 
falling upon and rotting the leaves. Huge heaps 
of Hyacinth blooms may be seen laid up in the 
corners of all the fields about Haarlem in the 
month of April, having been cut to prevent 
the chance ol such a thiug taking place. The 
Hyacinth would appear to be very liable to be¬ 
come diseased, and hence every precaution is 
taken by the Dutch cultivator to remove any 
predisposing cause, whether it be in the compo¬ 
sition of the soil or in any injury that muy hap¬ 
pen to the leaves.— Gardener's Chronicle. 
Christmas Pudding without Eggs.— 1 lb. of 
raisins, stoned, 1 lb. of currants, washed and 
dried, 1 lb. beef suet, shred very fine, 1 lb. brown 
sugar, l lb. flour, sifted, % lb. candled orange 
peel, 0 ozs. bread crumbs, 1 teaspoon ol mixed 
spice, pint of milk, 1 teaspoonful salt, the 
outside rind of two large carrots scraped fine; 
all to he well mixed together, and poured into a 
mould and covered with thick paper then with a 
good cloth and tied tight, plurced into boiling 
water and kept boiling six hours. To insure a 
pudding turning ont whole, it is a good plan 
after taking it out of the boiling water to dip it 
instantly into cold.

It was also shown at the New York State 
Fair held in Rochester io October, 1S62; and 
Char- u.s Downing, Chairman of the Com¬ 
mit tec on Native Grapes, made the following 
report: — “Before closing their labors, the 
undersigned would call uUontiou to a new Na¬ 
tive Grape named the Adirondac, and exhibited 
by John W. Bailey of Plattsburgh. Accepting 
Mr. BaJlet's statement, that the Adirondac 
ripens two weeks earlier than the Delaware, we 
think it presents claims to the favorable notice 
of fruit-growers in the Northern States and the 
Canadas. Iu color, it resembles the Isabellas, 
but is somewhat lurger. Iu quality, it is sweet 
and pleasant, w ith little or no hardness of palp. 
Those who prefer an earlier grape than the Del¬ 
aware, will welcome the Adlroudac. The un¬ 
dersigned checrlully indorse the opiuion of the 
American Pmuological Society, that “the Adi¬ 
rondac promises excellently well.' ” 
This grape continues to attract the attention 
of cultivators, and in Joew-llties where it has 
been grown and fruited, mi-:*, we believe, pnb- 
lic expectation. T 
We present our readers with a fine engraviug 
representing a buueb of the Adirondac Grape of 
the natural size. So many admirable qualities 
were credited to this grape when first announced, 
that we received the statements with some doubt. 
It was claimed to be superior in flavor to the 
Delaware, fifteen days earlier, and far more 
hardy; and thus suited to the portions of our 
country, where no good grape had previously 
succeeded. 
It was exhibited at the meeting of the Ameri¬ 
can Pomological 8ocloty iu Boston, in Septem¬ 
ber, ISti'J, and Mr. Ei.liott, from the Committee 
on New Fruits, described it as follows: —

color dark purplish red, with a blue bloom ;

STORING CELERY 
VARIOUS ORIGINAL RECIPES, 
We have said a great ileal latterly about the 
cultivation of celery ; and now as tho crop must 
bo pretty well grown, we shall proceed as usual 
at this season, to give some reliable directions 
for preserving it through tho winter. 
Many people complain of tbelr celery—one of 
tho most difficult garden crops to raise iu per¬ 
fection—that it does not keep well through the 
whiter—sometimes wither*, but oftener rots. 
It Is recommended by some that It should be 
preserved in the rows where it grows, and that 
removal more orlesa injures it. Where the plant 
is grown in solid a dry nature—and celery never 
should be grown there—It may be well kept In the 
row; but we deny most emphatically that re¬ 
moval Injures it In the slightest particular. 
We pursue two modes, vud Hud both to answer 
completely. The first is :o remove the celery to 
high and dry ground, d . a trench spade deep, 
»tuud up a row of plains, then three inches ot 
soil, then another row, ai d so ou until about a 
half dozen rows are finished, and then commence 
auother bed, and so on. The soil should be 
packed firmly, and banked up so that tho tops 
of the celery are just covered, then spank oil' 
roof fashion to turn the ralu. Over this two 
wide boards, nailed together, should be placed 
as a security against moisture. For remember, 
it Is water, not frost as some say, that rots 
celery. Frost adds to its tenderness. 
Another plan is to sink barrels into the qarth,

GATHERING AND KEEPING APPLES. 
In order to secure sounduess and preservation, 
oly it is Indispensably necessary that the fruitshould 
the be gathered by hand. For winter fruit tho gath- 
>f a crlug Is delayed as long as possible, avoiding 
ant severe frost*, and the most successful practice 
the with our extensive crchurdisis is to place the 
igi- good fruit directly in a careful manner iu new, 
lrst tight flour barrels, as 800 u as gathered from the 
tree. These barrels should bo gently shakeu 
while filling, and the head closely pressed in; 
they are then placed in a cool, shady exposure 
under a shed open to tho air, or ou the north 
rof side of a building, protected by a covering of 
tear boards over the top, where they remain for a 
low fortnight, or until the cold gets too severe, when 
oils they are eurotully transferred to a cool, dry cel
