PHILADELPHIA NOTES. 



This letter is mis-headed, to some 

 extent, because your scribe has been 

 at the great show in Boston, along 

 with the leading lights of this city 

 Jielping to bring up the tail end of 

 the procession; therefore, he has been 

 unable to keep track of the births, 

 -deaths, marriages and other important 

 happenings of the week in our great 

 city. For which lack sincere apolo- 

 gies — and trusts no worthy lady has 

 had the bad luck to drop her egg 

 basket on the way to market — while 

 he was not there to chronicle the im- 

 j)ortant event. 



There were some doubts in spots as 

 to whether the Boston brethren could 

 handle this great national event — but 

 the consensus of opinion now on every 

 hand is, that they have not only done 

 so but have set the pace for the world 

 in this direction up-to-date — and that 

 the great Temple shows, the magnifi- 

 cent Manchester exhibitions, and 

 other events of which the horticul- 

 tural trade everywhere is fond of 

 bragging as red-letter events in his- 

 tory — that to these there is another 

 red-letter epoch-making event added. 

 One could walk through the show in 

 a day, of course, but not to see all. 

 Next day things overlooked the first 

 day would appeal; and the same tht; 

 third and fourth and succeeding days. 



The Walsh rose exhibit in itself was 

 worth going a thousand miles to see. 

 Beautifully arranged with walks be- 

 tween so that every specimen could 

 be examined. Roland's English Rose 

 ■Garden was also a center of attrac- 

 tion and we all stood in amaze at the 

 blaze of gold in the center of the big 

 hall where the great Roland acacia 

 exhibit was placed and where the gen- 

 ius of John and James Parquhar had 

 planned and carried out their great 

 Dutch Garden. But, of course, we are 

 not reporting the show — this has been 

 fully covered by others — we are only 

 returning thanks to Boston and ad- 

 miring the new jewel in her brilliant 

 diadem.
