Mxssai. EDITOR*: 1 have tbe pleasure
imuttieating to the public through your
paper the incipient steps toward the forma*
ticn of a Horticultural Society.
There are present, attending the fair, an*
unusual number of nurserymen and amateur
Horticulturists, many of whom might be
classed among C. H.'s "enthusiasts."—
Among this olass there is felt a lack in our
annual fairs, wbioh the present movement is
intended to supply. It is oot enough that
tbe fairs should be cattle and horse shows—
are the chattels of the few, while that
department most neglected ought to be the
pet of every family, vis: the fruit, flowers,
Bad the vsgetable garden.
