In our last number, we gave some interesting proceedings of this Society - all we received in time. The Rural New Yorker continues the report, from which we make the following abstract. When the Transactions appear, we shall give a resume of the whole: -

"Peaches: Recommended for general cultivation:' Crawford's Early, Oldmixen Clingstone.

"Peaches: Recommended as 'promising well:' Susquehannah, Gorges, Hative de Fenders, Hill's Chili, Madeleine de Courson.

"Cherries: Downton was removed from the list for general cultivation. Recommended for 'special cultivation:' Napoleon Bigarreau. Recommended for 'general cultivation:' Belle d'Orleans, Coe's Transparent, Early Purple Guigne, Governor Wood, Reine Hortense, Rockport Bigarreau.

"Plums: Frost Gage was removed from the list for 'general cultivation:' Monroe Egg was established as' Monroe.' Recommended for' general cultivation.:' Lombard. Recommended as 'promising well:' White Dawson, Fellemburg, General Hand, Bradshaw,Duane's Purple, German Prune, and Pond's Seedling.

"Raspberries: Recommended for 'general cultivation:' French. Recommended as 'promising well:' Cope, Thunderer, American Red, or Red Prolific, Ohio Everbearing, Catawissa. The latter all seemed to agree was an astonishing bearer, and the President liked its flavor.

"Blackberries: The Improved High Bush was recommended for 'general cultivation,' as Dorchester. A discussion on the Lawton question ended by laying the subject on the table.

"Strawberries: The following sorts were recommended as 'promising well:' McAvoy's Superior, Hooker, Scarlet Magnate, Trolloppe's Victoria, Genesee, Le Baron, Longworth's Prolific".

A vote of thanks to the President was passed by acclamation, and the Society adjourned, to meet in New York, in 1868, at such time and place as the President might appoint.

There seems to have been some confusion as to giving out the reports. Would it not be well for the Society to retain a reporter, and distribute the proceedings to publications interested in disseminating knowledge on the subject, charging each with its share of the expense. The information would thus be earlier disseminated. We shall look with interest for the official pamphlet of proceedings; this is, no doubt, preparing for distribution at a day sufficiently early for planters.

American Pomological Society #1

We learn, officially, that, in March next, the Committee on Native Fruit of the American Pomological Society, at the request of the Hon. Marshall P. Wilder, President of the Society, contemplate issuing, probably quarterly, Intermediate Native Fruit Reports on such new native fruits as may be sent to any of the Committee for examination, or may in any way come under their notice. These reports will be published simultaneously in the leading horticultural journals. Each member of the Committee is requested to transmit, monthly, the memoranda he may make on this subject to Dr. Brinckle, of Philadelphia, Chairman of the Committee. (See March Horticulturist).

American Pomological Society #2

President Wilder requests us to announce that the seventh session of the American Pomological Society will be held in the city of New York on the 14th of September next. Circulars will be issued in due season.

Hoopbr's Fruit Book has had a great sale at Cincinnati, and a new edition, with corrections, is in press. Dr. Warder is preparing his work for publication.

Dear Sir: Allow me to call your attention to a plant we have here, called the "Boston ivy," which I presume is identical with the " Australian" or " French ivy," of your correspondent "W." It is the Bryonia palmata, a native of Ceylon. Nat. Order Cocurbitaceae. It is one of the very best plants we have for hanging-baskets, or vases, in the conservatory during winter. Wm. Johnston.

[Can we be writing of the same plant? Pray send us a leaf or a flower, one or both. - Ed].

American Pomological Society #1

The Seventh Session of this National Institution will commence at Mozart Hall, 663 Broadway, in the City of New York, on Tuesday, the 14th day of September next, at 10 o'clock, A.M., and will be continued for several successive days.

Among the objects of this meeting are the following: To bring together the most distinguished Pomologists of our land, and, by a free interchange of experience, to collect and diffuse such researches and discoveries as have been recently made in the science of Pomology - to hear Reports of the various State Committees and other district associations - to revise and enlarge the Society's catalogue of Fruits - to assist in determining the synonyms by which the same fruit is known in America or Europe - to ascertain the relative value of varieties in different parts of our country - what are suitable for particular localities - what new sorts give promise of being worthy of dissemination - what are adapted to general cultivation; and, especially, to concert measures for the further advancement of the art and science of Pomology.

The remarkable and gratifying progress which has recently been made in this branch of rural industry, is in no small degree attributable to the establishment and salutary influences of our Horticultural and Pomologicai Societies, the proceedings of which have been widely promulgated by the Press. A great work has been already performed, but a greater still remains to be accomplished. It is, therefore, desirable that every State and Territory of the Union and the Provinces of British America should be ably and fully represented in this Convention, and the Pomological, Horticultural, and Agricultural Societies, within these limits, are hereby requested to send such number of delegates as they may deem expedient. Nurserymen, Fruit growers, and all others especially interested in Pomology, are also invited to be present, and to participate in the deliberations of the meeting.

Held as this Assembly will be, in the great commercial emporium of our country, easily accessible from all parts of this continent, and at the same time when the Convention of the Editors of the Agricultural Press will be in session, it is anticipated that the attendance will be larger than on any former occasion, and the beneficial results proportionably increased.

In order to increase as much as possible the utility of the occasion, and to facilitate business, members and delegates are requested to forward specimens of fruits grown in their respective districts, and esteemed worthy of notice; also, papers descriptive of their mode of cultivation - of diseases and insects injurious to vegetation - of remedies for the same, and to communicate whatever may aid in promoting the objects of the meeting. Each contributor is requested to make out a complete list of his specimens, and present the same with his fruits, that a report of all the varieties entered may be submitted to the meeting as soon as practicable after its organization.

For the purpose of eliciting the most reliable information, the several Fruit Committees of States, and other local associations, are requested to forward to Hon. Samuel Walker, General Chairman of the Fruit Committee, Roxbury, Mass., or to P. Barry, Esq., Secretary of the Society, Rochester, N. Y., a definite answer to each of the following questions, at an early date, and prior to September 1st:

What six, twelve and twenty varieties of the Apple are best adapted to a family orchard of one hundred trees, and how many of each sort should it contain? What varieties, and how many of each, are best for an orchard of one thousand trees, designed.to bear fruit for the market?

What six and twelve varieties of the Pear are best for family use on the Pear stock? What varieties on the Quince stock? What varieties, and how many of each of these, are best adapted to a Pear orchard of one hundred or of one thousand trees?

What are the six and twelve best varieties of the Peach for a family orchard? What are the best varieties, and how many of each, are best adapted to a Peach orchard of one hundred or of one thousand trees?

Answers to these questions should be made from reliable experience, and with reference to the proximity or remoteness of the market.

Societies will please transmit to the Secretary at an early day a list of the Delegates they have appointed.

Gentlemen desirous of becoming members can remit the admission fee to Thomas P. James, Esq., Treasurer, Philadelphia, who will furnish them with the Transactions of the Society. Life Membership, twenty dollars; Biennial, two dollars.

Packages of Fruits may be addressed to Wm. S. Carpenter, Esq., 468 Pearl street, N. Y.
