 cornels, etc. 



For planting in public parks our 

 native trees and shrubs cannot be sur- 

 passed for appropriateness and beauty, 

 and for this purpose their use alone 

 is advocated. Nothing can be more 

 inharmonious than the introduction, 

 into park woodlands and plantations, 

 of exotic trees and shrubs, or of varie- 

 gated sports and monstrosities. Rather 

 let our parks be typical of our native 

 woods and glens, helped along Na- 

 ture's lines by the artistic hand. 



PHILADELPHIA NOTES. 



Howard M. Earl of Burpee's left on 

 the 7th inst. on a crop inspection trip 

 through Louisiana and Texas. From 

 there he will make a jump to Michi- 

 gan, returning to Philadelphia about 

 the 27th inst. 



The chief trading among the down- 

 town houses at present is in pot-grown 

 strawberry plants, celery plants, late 

 cabbage and Brussels sprouts, sum- 

 mer vegetable and flower seeds, crim- 

 son clover, millet and turnip seeds. 

 Oxalis and freesias are in and will be 

 followed shortly by Harrisis, callas 

 and French bulbs. Dreer, Michell and 

 the Johnson Seed Co. (late Johnson 

 & Stokes) issue seasonable catalogues 

 of these items.
