At the meeting of the Northwest Pomological Society, held at Chicago in October, 1858, a resolution was passed "That each member should hand to the Secretary, a list of such fruits, oyer his own name, as have been tested is his neighborhood, and have proved positively good." In compliance with this resolution, twenty-two members handed in lists. These we published in our last volume. An examination of these lists, with a view to ascertain the relative popularity of the different varieties of Apples, gives the following results. It may be proper to state, however, that of the twenty-two members who reported, fourteen were from Illinois, three from Iowa, two from Indiana, and three from Michigan. The numbers following the names in the list, denote the number of members who recommended the variety:

Early Harvest - 20, Garolina June - 14, Rawles' Janet - 12, Sweet Bough - 11, Summer Queen - 10, Vandervere - 9, Rambo - 17, Fall Pippin - 14, Rhode Island Greening - 12, Maiden's Blush - 11, Fameuse - 10, Roxbury Russet - 9, Yellow Bellflower - 15, Spitzenbnrgh - 12, Baldwin - 11, Winesap - 10, Am. Summer Pearmain -9 White Bellflower - 8, Swaar - 7, Sweet June - 7, Summer Rose - 6, Golden Russet - 6, Am. Golden Russet - 5, Newtown Pippin - 6, Winter Pearmain (white) - 5, Keswick Codlin - 5.

This list comprises those only which were recommended by not less than five of the twenty-two members. Many other varieties were on three or four lists - such, for instance, as Belmont, Tolman Sweet, Jonathan, Jersey Sweet, Northern Spy, Gravenstien, Fall Wine, Dominie, Willow Twig, Fulton Milam, Westfield Seek-no-farther, Pomme Gris, Roman Stem, Ladies' Sweet, do., etc.

It is very evident, however, that although the varieties, selected by nearly all the members - such as Early Harvest, Sweet Bough, Carolina June, Rawles' Janet, Yellow Bellflower, White Bellflower or Ortley, Rambo, Fall Pippin, etc., - have proved beyond a doubt well adapted to this section, yet the fact that many of the varieties with low numbers attached are comparatively unknown, renders the decision unsatisfactory as far as they are concerned. We have not the slightest doubt but that among these there are many destined to be the most valuable and popular fruits for western culture. In the meantime, however, until they are well tested, our list above gives very important information to persons who are about to plant in that region. Those who have had to buy their experience dearly, can appreciate the value of such hints as may be gathered from the figures.

Tab annual meeting of the New York State Agricultural Society will be held at Albany on the 14th of the present month. There is to be an exhibition of winter fruit, grain, etc. liberal premiums are offered.
