In view of the meeting of the American Pomoldgical Society in Philadelphia this coming September, the horticulturists are making unusual efforts to render the visits of the pomologists profitable and attractive. Endeavors are being made to get an excellent horticultural exhibit. The florists of Philadelphia have subscribed $ 1,000 to offer as premiums. The cut flower department of the exhibition alone, it is believed, will be worth coming to Philadelphia to see.

The fifty-fourth annual exhibition will be held in Horticultural Hall, Broad street, on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, 12th, 13th and 14th of September, in conjunction with the American Pomological Society, which will be the guest of the Pennsylvania Society. Circulars giving all the details, may be obtained, on the part of the Horticultural Society, of A. W. Harrison, Secretary, Horticultural Hall, and on the part of the American Society, of Prof. Beal, Lansing, Mich. Mr. J. E. Mitchell, 310 York avenue, Philadelphia, as Chairman of the Committee on Reception, will give all the information desired on hotels and transportation. Thomas A. Andrews, Superintendent of Horticultural Hall, will take charge of any articles for exhibition addressed to his care. It is expected that there will be a full meeting of delegates from all parts of the country, and it is believed that this will be the largest and most useful meeting ever held in this country. The proceedings will end with a banquet on Friday evening at six o'clock.

This Society commenced in April the resumption of its noted monthly meetings with marked success. It was admirably supported by exhibitors, and the numerous visitors were highly pleased with what they saw.
