Mr. Burnet Landreth, the well-known chief of the Agriculture Bureau of the Centennial, writes: "As one of the Vice Presidents of the 'American Exhibition ' to open in London May 1st, '86, permit me to call your attention to the proposed horticultural display. As far as it is practicable it is intended to have in the section referred to a comprehensive show of American plants, fruits and seeds, forest products and horticultural appliances. To this end the leading 'English Nurserymen ' have promised to contribute to the full extent of their ability, but there are a vast number of American plants uncultivated in Europe, some of which are beautiful as decorative objects and others useful in the arts. These and those of every other class will attract much attention both artistically and scientifically, and the display from American nurserymen would result in an increase of orders for horticultural objects, not only from England, but from all of Europe and the rest of the world, as anything shown in London is presented to all mankind.

The American Exhibition will continue from May to October, and will be held on a space of twenty-three acres near South Kensington. The intention of the organizers of the Exhibition is to show everything that the people of the United States have to sell, with the design of increasing trade.

" At the same period the British Colonies will hold at South Kensington a six months exhibition to be termed the 'Colonial Exhibition,' and it would seem a wise policy for the nurserymen and foresters of the United States to be on the ground ready to meet the test of competition.
