The stated meeting of this Society occurred in the Chi. nese Saloon, Philadelphia, on Tuesday evening, March 18th, 1868, the President in the chair. The sudden change from mild to severely cold weather, precluded the imposing display of large Azaleas, Rhododendrons, and fine green-house plants usual at the March meeting; yet those who attended were amply repaid with the sight of many interesting plants, and beautiful cut flowers, in the tasteful designs, baskets and bouquets, shown.

Knorr's gardener, from West Philadelphia, exhibited a dozen of choice blooming plants, six pots filled with Hyacinths, and the following new kinds: Tempeltonia glauca, Abutilon Vanhouttii, Azalea alba striata, A. exquisita; Cinerarias, Garminata, Vicar of Wakefield, Formosa, Mrs. Sydney Herbert, Marianne, and Amie Robsarl Mr. COPE's gardener brought a dozen select standard plants, a collection of Cinerarias, and two species shown for the first time - Rhodostemma gardenoides, and Hypocyrta strigillosa.

From Charles Kessler - The Reading

This valuable winter Pear has been noticed in several of our ad interim reports. The present specimens, which were eaten on the 11th inst., have strengthened the favorable opinion previously expressed by us, of its merits.

The Keim

Which we have previously described, appears to be a late keeping winter Apple, assuming a more beautiful waxen appearance with the advance of the season.

Evening Party

This is the third time this delicious little Apple has been submitted to our examination, during the present season. Each successive trial has served to confirm our estimate of its value.

The Orange

The fruit is roundish, slightly oblate, faintly ribbed, of a warm yellow color, approaching orange; Stem short and thick; cavity open, shallow, obtuse, irregular; basin shallow, wide, plaited; flesh yellowish, with a slight orange tint; flavor sprightly; quality "good".

The Ohlinger

A native Apple of Pennsylvania. It originated with Mr. Ohlinger, in Alsace township, Berks County. It fruited in 1852 for the first time. Fruit below medium size, roundish, waxen yellow, with a pale brownish cheek containing many white spots with usually a russet speck in each; stem three-quarters of an inch long, slender; cavity deep, wide, russetted in rays; basin wide, shallow, furrowed; seed brown, short, broad, roundish ovate; flesh yellowish white, fine texture, sprightly flavor; quality "good".
