Tho coming session promises to be espe- {
c;allv interesting, held as it will be in con-
junction with the exhibition of the Virginia
genealogical and Horticultural Society, and
at a great central point, farther South than
aoy previous session of the institution.
THIS meeting will, therefore, 1t is believed
be one of the most useful, IN nati0nai
pont of view, than has ever been held by
the Society, thus atlording an opportunity
not only to examine the fruits OF the SCUM
in COMPARISON with those of the North, the
West and of the Pacific Slope, which it is
eynected will be freely contributed, but also
to foster and perpetuate the amlcable and
SOCIAL relations which have heretofore cX-
;sted between the members OF the Society,
and to widely diliuse the result OF Its dellb-
erations for the benefit of our constantly
expanding territory. -.
The climate Of Virginia and adjacent
States is believed to be admirably adapted
TO the culture of fruits, especially the pear,
Che grape and the strawberry. It's, there
fore. hoped that there will be a full attend
ance of delegates from the South ana the
West. as well as from other quarters OF our
country, thereby stimulating more extern
sive cultivation upon which the Nofth are
so largely dependent for supplies, thus, also'
Inv the concentrated information and eXpe-
Renee of cultivators, to aid the Society In
comnleting the Second Division of its Cata
logue of Fruits, being that part which per-
tans especially to the Southern States.
This will be one of the prominent subjects
which will come before the Society, and we
therefore, respectfully invite the various
