Geneva held a very creditable exhibition on the 23d for the first time. One great reason why it succeeded so greatly to the gratification of all, was, doubtless, owing to the fact that numerous ladies, of the highest standing, wealth, and resources, most freely bestowed their time, taste, and produce of their conservatories, and fine gardens, to get it up and sustain it As a consequence, the boquets and arrangements of fine flowers were almost unequalled. Those exhibited by Mrs. Gideon Lee, Mrs. T. D. Burrall, Mrs. W. N. and L. Clark, Mrs. Bradford, Mrs. Scott, and Mrs. Suydam, not to mention others, attracted marked attention. But to me, one of the most attractive boquets I have yet seen on this or any exhibition, was one exclusively of wild flowers, gotten up in the best manner by J. M. Bradford, Esq.; certainly, some very rare and curious specimens graced the boquet.

So many exhibited handsome Roses, that I hardly dare name any of the exhibitors. Captain Darin's Roses, Strawberries, Ac., were very fine, and the same was the case with his next door neighbor, Mr. Suydam. Mrs. Burrall, of course, had a large as well as select collection of Roses and other flowers.

The exhibition of Strawberries far surpassed any I have seen this season. Over one hundred dishes of this luscious fruit, comprising over fifty varieties, were on the tables. Mr. Suydam was awarded the first premium for the greatest variety, and Capt. Darin, and Mr. Messer, for finest specimens, and Mr. W. F. Cook for best quart Boston Pine. R. G. Pardee had a large number of varieties from his old garden in Palmyra, which were for exhibition merely. Messrs. Thorp, Smith, Hanchett & Co., of Syracuse, and Messrs. Dell & Collins, from Waterloo, as well as the Messrs. Maxwells and Messrs. Smiths, of this place, added much to the exhibition by the fine display of fruits and flowers from their nurseries. Our friends from Syracuse exhibited eighteen named varieties of fine Cherries, and lots of fine flowers; but I must not take up more room to refer to either lot, or specify wherein each one excelled. This exhibition was highly satisfactory, and we expect to have even a better one another year. r. g. p.
