The President in the chair. A collection of plants in pots, by John Lambert's gardener, was interesting. This being the show night for Chrysanthemums, there were eight collections presented, in which were many of the choicest kinds; and were from Robert Bu-ist's, James Dundas', George North's, John Lambert's, A. Parker's, and Caleb Cope's grounds; the collection from the latter consisted of those new and beautiful varieties called Lilliputian, which have been recently imported, and for the first time shown $ they are decidedly the prettiest of this tribe of plants. From the same source was seen another of those exquisitely beautiful baskets of cut flowers, which for several meetings past have graced the tables.containing the choicest flowers of the green-house, of which many were from air plants, but as at the last occasion, the crowning flower was the Victoria Regia, the 24th production of the plant; although of smaller proportions than those borne by the plant when in full vigor, still it was a perfect gem, and much admired.

Among the fruits were seen beautiful specimens of pears, some luscious in taste - they came from H. W. Cleveland, Burlington, Isaac P. Baxter, N. W. Roe, of Woodbury, A. M. East wick, J. P. Cashing, Mass. - the Dix, and a specimen of the pound variety weighing twenty two ounces, from the state fair at Harrisburgh. Three tempting bunches of Black Hamburgh Grapes were displayed by H. W. S. Cleveland. Several dishes of Apples were exhibited, and were from David Miller, Jr., Lancaster co. The Fuller, Walder, Pittsburgh Pippin, Better than Good, and Herman's Favorite. James H. Watts of Rochester - the Northern Spy - C. Lee, Penn-Yan, the Wagoner; Malhew McKie, the Clyde Beauty. Of vegetables, Anthony Fuller, Jr., exhibited an extensive display and Maurice Finn, gardener to Mr. Lambert, John Gallagher, gardener to Miss Gratz, and Thos. Meehan, gardener to A. M. East wick, very ere ditable displays.

The President in a few remarks, in acknowledgment to the society for the honor conferred upon him at the last meeting, by the award of the gold medal for his success in the cultivation of the Victoria Regia, announced that he had just received a very interesting letter from Sir Wm. J. Hooker, which was read, expressing his gratification at his success in cultivating the Victoria, stating the fact of his having sent seeds to Calcutta and the West Indies, where flourishing plants had been grown and seeded abundantly in the open waters. Mr. Cope remarked, that the plant which he had growing in his garden tank, had two flower buds when it was taken up recently.
