The Peninsula horticultural Socio.
ties Fruit and Flower Show.

The First Annual Fair of the Peninsula
Horticultural Society to be held in Whining
ton on Sept. 1s, l9, 20, and 81, gives the
promise of being very elegant affair. Al
ready large quantities of early fruits etc.,
have been stored in the Society's cold stor-
age room at Hart h Bros, awaiting the
coming of the exhibition. The premiums
are very large for a show of this kind. For
best display of peaches 500 is offered, best
display of Apples 500, of Pears 500, of
Grapes $100. Then there are numerous
prizes of$50, $25, $40 and SIS offered for
specimens of any variety of the above fruits
besides large money prizes for Grab Apples,
Ounces, Plums, Watermelons, Cantelonpes,
eral that they should call forth the finest
display of fruits ever, witnessed in this part
ofthe country. There will also be splendid
collection of California Fruits, ETC., TO be
exhibited by the California Fruit Growers
Union.
The display of flowers, and rare and Curl
Gus plants will undoubtedly be the finest
ever seen on the Peninsula. All the local
florists, both professional and amateur are
growing a profusion of beautiful flowers,
and numerous private conservatories in
Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore and
other places will send large numbers of
their finest and rarest specimens. The prizes
offered for displays ofhowers and plants are
also exceedingly liberal, and many of our
lady readers, who have fine plants, should
try and secure some of these liberal offers.
Their is also premium of $50 for the best
display Of canned fruits in glass. A mag
nifcent Orchestra under the leadership of
Prof Mark Hassler of Philadelphia, has been
engaged for the week, and the musical fea-
ture promises to be one of the most attrae-
tive of the programme. The interior arrang-
ments of the hall, and the exhibits will pre-
sent several beautiful and novel features,
such as alcoves and screens of natural flow
ers, magic fountains, the Temple of Ceres,
etc., while radiating from a magnificent
temple of flowers in the centre of the hall
will be the step-like tables for the display of
fruits, etc. The'exhibition will be held in
the Grand Opera House, which has been new
ly fitted up this summer at an expense of
some $4,000. There will be no charge for
space, and no entrance fee, and exhibitors
only will be furnished with special ticket,
good during the week for 81. The general
admission will be fifty cents. Excursion
tickets will be issued at reduced rates dur
ing the exhibition. The management in
tend to leave no stone upturned that will
insure the success Of the Fair, and it is sim
cerely hoped that those of our readers who
have any fine fruits or flowers, will send
them to this Fair and secure some of the
liberal premiums. Arrangements have been
made to sell excursion tickets from all points
on the Peninsula at the rate of two cents per
mile, including admission. For further in
formation address Chas. s. Horn Secretary,
