HENRY A. DREER, 



714 CHESTNUT ST., PHILADELPHIA, PA. 



PHILADELPHIA. 



Thomas Mingey, for twenty-five 

 years in charge of Horticultural Hall 

 in Fairmount Park, has resigned his 

 position. Mr. Mingey has had charge 

 of the hall since it was built for the 

 Centennial in 1876, until the present 

 time. His success has been complete 

 as a visit to the hall and its surround- 

 ing grounds will amply testify. Every- 

 thing is in perfect health and in per- 

 fect order. 



Mr. Mingey's greatest successes 

 have been with his cacti and croton 

 beds, his stove plants and his aquat- 

 ics; I ought also to say in his great 

 executive ability which enabled him to 

 grow a very large number of bedding 

 plants in a given space and to get ex- 

 cellent work out of his force of men. 

 He is one of the very best men in our 

 profession today. 



His hosts of friends will miss him 

 greatly. Some other park will gain 

 by our loss.
