We are glad to see New York in the field with such a liberal list of prizes, and we hope they will bring out an active competition. There is no lack of material There are two monthly shows, a semi-animal show on the 14th, 15th, and 16th of June, and an annual show on the 20th, 21st, and 22d of September. We learn from the Agricultor that - "The regular weekly meeting of the Society was held at the Stuyvesant Institute on Monday evening, Feb. 7th, N. R. Anthony, Esq., one of the Vice Presidents, in the chair.

"There was a fair attendance of members who took a lively interest in the business before the meeting.

"Mr. Boll exhibited a stand of six Camellias, but owing to the want of proper accommodation, they were not seen to advantage. The Society's exertions have been much retarded by a deficient accommodation in this respect, as the room occupied at present is not adapted for the display of flowers or fruits, and a great desire is manifested to promote this feature in the weekly meetings. Mr. Boll's Camellias were choice flowers and favorite varieties. One of them, called by him Imbricata striata, is a variety apparently allied to the old Imbricata and a well marked flower. The others were Henri Favre, Imbricata, Sacco Nova, Double White Caroline Smith, Sulcata, Fim-briata, and Cruciata. A seedling raised by Mr. Boll, No. 411, was pronounced worthy of notice, and a first premium was awarded for the six blooms.

"The first premium for fruit was awarded to Thomas Dunn, Macedon, for the best twelve Winter Apples, Newtown Pippins,"
