At the annual exhibition of dahl- 

 ias, hardy perennials, vegetables 

 and fruits at Michell's in number 

 and excellence of exhibits expec- 

 tations were greatly exceeded. Not 

 only were the dahlias of high order, 

 but never before have so many of the 

 leading novelties been shown at any 

 dahlia show held in Philadelphia. 

 .Among these were particularly noted, 

 Attraction, Admiration, Minnie Bur- 

 gle, Hortulanus Feit, ,Iohn Wana- 

 maker, A. E. Burton, No. 518, Porcu- 

 pine, Madame Butterfly. Ceisha. Vege- 

 tables (grown from Michell's seed) 

 were shown in the finest possible 

 specimens. The "Pe-Tsay" or new 

 Chinese cabbage lettuce were a centre 

 of attraction. Immense heads weigh- 

 ing 6 pounds raised from seed planted 

 July 20th, show what can be done with 

 them as a second crop. The many 

 uses to which it can be put as a "high 

 toned vegetable" is bound to make it 

 popular with the public as well as the 

 market gardener. Hardy perennials, 

 gladioli, annuals, and fruits were of 

 the highest order. 



Gold and silver medals as well as 

 several hundred dollars worth of cash 

 prizes were awarded. The show lasted 

 for three days.
