EXCEEDINGLY REGRErABLE.-Thea almost
complete indifference on the part Of our
cir:zsns in the fruit, flowers and plants ex-
Lioltiou, is to be regretted. The specimens
sent in Yesterday were so few and scatter
ing that the managers could not be blamed
if thew gave up the enterprise in Disgust.
However, the persevering gentlemen who
have the matter in hand will continue their
exertions, and hope that their friends will
to day make a better showing: Thus far
there are only two specimens from Missis-
eippi and none from Alabama or Florida.
