color soft pink. Kose Anny Muller is a 

 pretty plant in bloom. It is of the type 

 of Baby Rambler, only better. Cinera- 

 ria stellata, from several growers, was 

 of great size and perfect, in a variety 

 of colors. 



The Dreer exhibit of labeled foliage 

 plants was of great interest. The best 

 standard varieties and some no\'«lties 

 Aere shown. A highly colored plant of 

 Pandanus Sanderi was a feature. It was 

 probably six feet tall. 



Tulips and hyacinths, arranged as an 

 American flag, showing the stars and 

 stripes, were offered in competition for 

 the Michell prize. The work was well 

 done, height, condition and arrangement 

 all being duly considerod by both com- 

 petitors. 



The azalea specimens of immense size 

 were superb. The lilies and spiraeas 

 were ■syell done. 



\V, A. IManda, South Orange, N. J., 

 sent two promising seedling carnations 

 and some flowers of the Cherokee rose. 

 John E. Haines, South Bethlehem, Pa., 

 sent flowers of his three famous carna- 

 tions. The whole carnation exhibit was 

 excellent. 



A ]>air of Bhapis flabelliformis were 

 probably the finest specimens of this 

 palm in the coiintry. 



Secretary Bust tried, as an experi- 



ment, the free admission of school chil- 

 dren when accompanied with their teach- 

 ers, the society hoping to cultivate the 

 love of flowers in the men and women 

 of tomorrow. 



Samuel Batchelor, John MeCleary, 

 William Kleinheinz and Joseph Warley 

 were prominent exhibitors. 



Vest Grove. 



Sambo, .\lr. Harvey's driver, landed 

 the trio at Brandywine Summit in ample 

 time for the 12:05 for the south. Mr. 

 Curwen made a strong fight to go home, 

 but it was no use. Phil had received a 

 letter from P. J. Lynch inviting the 

 j)arty to visit him. Did you ever get a 

 letter from P. J. Lynch? Xo one who 

 haK not can realize the strength of the 

 magnet. Mr. Lynch 's letter^ breathe 

 cordiality, good fellowship ana kindli- 

 ness in M way most gratifying to the 

 recipient. Unluckily Mr. (^urwen li»d 

 not received this particular letter, or 

 lie would not have demurred. 



The party reached West Grove at 

 12:40 p. m. Mr. Lynch had two trot- 

 ters waiting, a pleasant surprise. Phil 

 had the nerve to keep them while mine 

 host at the inn was visited, and then 

 came a lively ride over the turnpike. 

 Edward Parker was in readiness to re- 

 ceive the viBitors and show them the re- 

 sults of his winter propagating, A lit- 



tle later M. Henry J^yuch appeared to 

 add his welcome and, as the party was 

 leaving one of the houses, a gentle voic« 

 said, * ' This is P. J. Lynch, ' ' and the 

 chief of seventy-one greenhouses. That 

 voice has always its charm, whether it 

 be heard in the role of essayist, in salu- 

 tation on the treasury steps in Washing- 

 ton or raised in song at a banquet. 

 Now it was an interesting talk on the 

 merits of this and that variety of rose, 

 or flowering shrub, or soft-wooded plant. 



The houses looked well. It was evi- 

 dent the winter's propagation had been 

 uniformly successful. There was evi- 

 dence that even the difficult varieties had 

 smiled on Mr. Parker. Mr. Curwen re- 

 marked on each house how Avell it looked, 

 and when he wearied of saying so, 

 through no fault of the houses, Mr. 

 Parker relieved him. It soon became 

 evident that Mr. Lynch was making this 

 visit serve as a tour of inspection. The 

 quick, comprehensive glance over each 

 house allowed nothing to escape. It 

 was evidently a pleasant duty, each 

 house, clean and neat, smiling back at 

 the owner happily.
