At the June meeting of the Germantown, (Pa.) Horticultural Society, there were exhibits of cut roses, the best ever seen at any of the meetings. As showing what sorts are considered the best, the annexed is a list of those in the collection of Messrs. Lonsdale and Burton, to which was awarded first premium; with one exception - hybrid perpetuals.

Miss Hassard. Louis Van Houtte, Fisher Holmes, Alfred Colomb, Prince of Wales, English Moss, Gloire de Dijon, Marie Baumann, Marquise de Castellane, Rev. J. B. Cainm, Paul Neyron, Anna de Diesbach, Md'lle Eugenie Verdier, La Roseire. Francois Michelon, Captain Christy, Magna Charta, Mad. Gabrielle Luizet, Prince Camille de Rohan, John Hopper, Md. Isaac Perrier, Baroness Rothschild.

The Sharpless strawberry still keeps its place as the best for general culture, its ample, luxuriant foliage ensuring a full supply of large fruit, in ordinary seasons, and of its flavor nothing but praise can be said. At this meeting it was the leading sort in every collection exhibited. Alongside of it in many cases was the Captain Jack, a sort that stands high in the estimation of the cultivators, as well for its perfect form as for its general good qualities. Boyden, Cumberland and Longfellow are also favorites, the latter for its very superior flavor. In the collection of vegetables exhibited by John F. Turner, of School Lane, was a dish of early potatoes grown from sprouted sets, as recommended in the Monthly some years ago; the plan being to plant the sets with the sprouts on instead of rubbing them off, as is usually done. Mr. Turner says it has given him potatoes fit to use at least two weeks earlier than usual. Those he exhibited were from two to three inches in length, while other exhibitors had none in their collections.

His assortment consisted of some thirty sorts, all unusually well grown for the season, and hard to beat, showing Mr. Turner to be a master hand in the vegetable garden.
