The CIereInnd HorticuIturnI sociel,

The September exhibition of the Cleve-
land Horticultural Society took place on
Thursday and Friday of last week. Unfor-
tunately, the weather the first day was very
unfavorable; the rain fell in torrents, making
it absolutely impossible for many exhibitors
to bring in their fruits, flowers and vegeta-
bles to the hall. The second day was, how
ever, rather better in the forenoon, and there
was great amount brought in. The ar
! rangements were complete; everything was
in place, and gave great satisfaction.
Among the greenhouse plants, the best
collection was that of Jos. Perkins, ESQ
His variegated leafed plants were magnif-
cent, and gave good evidence of the skill of
his gardener, Geo. Morgan. C. II. Robinson
had good collection of the Same kind, but
the plants are as yet small. In another year
they will no doubt be in fine condition. Mr..
R. had also a number of truly beautiful
fuschias in bloom.
To give description of all the fine things
on exhibition, would occupy too much of our
| space: we will therefore give a glance at
| such things as appeared to US of greatest in
terest. n. A. Gray, of the Plain Dealer, ex-
! hIbited cactus of the Turks-cap genus, that
was really fine; it was the largest of the
kind We ever saw. Mr.. Robinson has since
| procured it Of Mr.. Gray. 1t will add great
! ly 10 his collection of fine plants
/ In cut flowers there was good show. The
yel'benRs of DR.. Beaumont were the finest in
| style .Snd numbers we ever saw at any exhi-
| bition; there were nearly one hundred vari-
/ eties. Mrs. Hurlbut's were albo fine. In
| dahlias, StOrr & Hsrrison, of Painesville,
| had the largest and best collection, sixty
five varieties, and bore off the first premi-
um. The collections of II. B. Hurlbut and
C. H Robinson were smaller, but contained
| some very fine blooms, and were well grown.
Roses were not plentiful, the only ones that
were entered being those of Mr.. Hurlbut.-
Jos. Perkins had stand, containing num-
Der of choice blooms, with phloxes, asters,
&c. There were few boquets, but a good
many floral ornaments that were in far bet
ter taste than any previously shown. One
of the best, that of C. Bratenahl, came toe
late for entrance.
Of fruits, there was a splendid assortment
The best show of apples was that of Charles
Pease, consisting of Sway ,Ramsdale's Sweet.
