he obtained the seed from GaIesburg, Ill. the
man from whom he obtained it, assuring him
that from one pint Of seed he raised 81 bush
els. he also stated that 200 bushels to the
acre could be raised. A baker of GaIesburg
told Mr.. Houk that this wheat made as good
bread as the ordinary spring wheat, yielding
IS pounds of -four to the bushsL But even
if not profitable for -four, as feed for horses
and cattle such an enormous yield should
make this species of grain very valuable, if
experience should prove its nutriciOus or fat
tsning qualities.

FLORAL HALL.
While the other portions of the grounds
are filed with articles for saving labor,
Or in the provision line, Floral Hall is Pscu-
liarly the point of attraction to those who
have an hour to spare from moro active dutieE,
and who are sensitive to the claims Of beauty.
It is a charming spot. The building is in
the form of Greek Cross, with tables run
ming through the wings, and platform at
their intersection. The walls are handsome
" decorated and the columns around the CEN
traI platform covered with moss. Much taste
has been displayed in the arrangement and |
decorations of the Hall.
The table which fills the eastern nave of |
Floral Hall is occupied by plants from the
of Joseph Perkins, Esq and un-
isr the charge of his gardener, George Nor
gan. The plants are very rare and choice,
Ind enough to move the covetous desires Of
any lover of beauty. Among the more nOtic-
able Of these plants are the india rubber tIee'
he dragon tree, and the Grape myrtle. These,
however, are but specimens of the larger va
rites Many Of the smaller ones are still
more rare than these.
The opposite or western table is filed from
the gardens and greenhouses of H. B.
Hurlbut, Esq, and attended by his gardener,
William Harding. This table is also full of
beauty and variety, and one could easily
spend an hour in contemplation of the varie-
ties of choice plants presented. Mr.. Hurlbut
also occupies the central stand of this hall,
which will be artistically filed with ferns.
The adjoining Of the southern table is from
the greenhouse Of L. Case, Esq, Euclid
street, under charge of Michael Haggsrty.
This, too, is SO full Ofrsrs varieties of plants
and flowers that we cannot attempt to specify
them.
The northern table is partially covered BY
a splendid assortment of fuehias and verbe-
mas from the gsrdens Of A. Stone, Jr., the
balance Of the table being filed from Bob
msr's collection. Other exhibitors will also
have their contributions to-day. Floral Hall
is constantly filled with interested visitors,
male and female. It is admirably presided
over by Mr.. Kirkpatrick as Superintendent.
FRUIT HALL.
This hall yesterday presented some fine
collections of apples, grapes, pears and peach
es but many contributors reserved their fruit
until this morning, that it may be fresh to
the eye. The hall is undsr the management of
Mr.. Campbell, of Delaware, the grower Of the
Delaware grape. Mr.. Campbell win exhibit
a large variety Of grapes to-day.
