The Society has now effected a substantial and we trust a permanent organization. An excellent room has been secured for the exhibitions of the Society, the present season; and every effort will be made to make them interesting and instructive.

The advantages of having an energetic Hort!-cultural Society are too obvious to remain unnoticed. Practical men believe now, that fruit growing, taken all-in-all, is one of the most profitable and pleasurable departments of husbandry. Every body Is planting trees; nurseries are springing up in every part of the State; yet they each sell double the number of trees that either did three or four years ago. Our trees first planted are coming into bearing, and the fine character of the fruit gives great encouragement to extend operations. And a Horticultural Society now is the result of bare necessity.

Persons in all parts of the State are solicited to become members. Any person by sending one dollar to either of the officers, will be elected a member of the Society, and it is really to be hoped that those who are engaged in fruit growing, and feel an interest in the dissemina-tioa of correct knowledge in reference to culture, adaptation of varieties to our climate and soil, the proper naming of fruits, which are now propagated nnder false or erroneous names, which causes perplexity, trouble and loss, fee., will take hold and help the matter on.

The Society have decided to hold five exhibitions the present season; one in each of tbe mouths of May to September inclusive. Due notice will be given of the time of holding the exhibitions, and persons will be appointed to receive fruit, etc., sent from a distance where members cannot make it expedient to attend personally. - Michigan Farmer.
