The show of plants, flowers, and garden vegetables, in June, at Clinton Hall, was worthy of note in several points of view. In the first place, It was the show of a society numbering some three hundred paving members, at a season of the fear when earth's plants were in full bloom, and when every gardener who cultivates vegetables for the city market should boast of his abundant productions. The Society published a liberal list Of premiums. * * *

In fruit the show was better. There were perhaps a dozen quarts of strawberries, and some of them very handsome. Two dishes of Longworth's Prolific, exhibited by Edward Decker, gr. of J. Q. Jones, took a five dollar premium, and were considered much the finest specimen exhibited, though several others were handsome, both of this variety, Hovey's Seedlings, and some others. There were several fine seedlings. ' Bare plants were indeed rare. Not a single one of the celebrated new Chinese plant, Dielytra Spectabalis, was shown, and only a meagre bunch of the flowers. There were four pots of Erica, in full bloom, one of them bearing flowers of pale green, shown by Alex. Gordon, gr. to Edwin Hoyt, that could not be easily exceeded in beauty.

The same gardener exhibited a plant, we think, quite unknown to florists generally in this country, called Parrttta Borboniea, It is not in flower, but the leaves are very beautiful, and attracted much attention. It was awarded a premium of ten dollars.

The collection of cut roses was as fine as the most ardent lover of this, the Queen of Flora's Kingdom, could desire. The first premium, fifteen dollars, was awarded to Wm. A. Barges, of Glen wood, near Roslyn, L. I., for the best collection of roses, and a premium of ten dollars for a bunch-in a pot. He has some seventy varieties, most of which he brought from England three years ago, of the choicest in the kingdom. This fifteen dollar premium was the one offered by W. G. Hunt.

Dr. G. Knight showed a pretty collection of ferns, a beautiful plant which is very much neglected, because It is so common in a wild state. His now arrangement of long, tin tubes, filled with water for cut flowers, is a great improvement on the old style, of vials set in holes in a board.

The great lack of interest in the public of New York, is the most remarkable thing connected with the show and the Society. True, there was a fair amount of visitors in the evening, but, through- the day. the rooms were nearly empty, and no wonder; the exhibition was not one to attract a crowd, or one worthy their attention, or creditable to the city, however much It might be to the active few who have so long struggled to maintain it in a state of respectability. - New York Paper.
