The annual meeting of this Society is always looked forward to by many, as one of great interest and pleasure. The endeavor has been, of late years, to embrace in its scope all lovers of gardening in any of its branches, as well as those who merely grow fruit for profit. It is a Horticultural Society, as well as a Society of market-men. There has been, therefoie, an increase of interest in the meetings, and those who feel pleasure in their specialties, must of themselves see that they receive attention. The meeting is to be held this year at Reading, on the 20th and 21st of January; and the Reading people who are fond of gardening will, no doubt, see that those who come to help instruct them, are encouraged by a good attendance of those from whom they may expect to get some information in return.
