The eighth session of the Ohio Pomological Society will be held in Cincinnati, commencing on Monday, September 14, etc (during the week of the State Fair). The meetings of this Society are now held biennially, alternating with those of the American Pomological Society. Those who attend are requested to bring with them specimens of such fruits as are found most valuable in their respective districts of country, and which have not been fully discussed at former meetings; specimens,of good peaches and pears are particularly desired at this meeting, and it is hoped that all will come pro-pared to contribute something to the general stock of knowledge in regard to fruits and fruit culture.

Communications in writing are also solicited on subjects likely to be discussed at the meet-ing: such as the names and qualities of fruits adapted for different sections of our country especially such as are found most productive and profitable for market; observations on the diseases of fruits and fruit-trees, and the means of their cure and prevention, including any experiments in the use of lime, plaster, ashes, or other fertilisers for fruit-trees; also, notes on insects injurious to orchards and fruit gardens.

The meeting will be held in the hall of the Cincinnati Horticultural Society. Address the President, at Cincinnati, or the Secretary, at Columbus.
