Beauties effectively grouped. These from 

 Cincinnati. 



Correctiofu. 



It might have been said most truly 

 last week that the mighty have fallen 

 onder the fair hand that makes it pos- 

 sible to read my notes, for were not 

 Dreer's hydrangeas covered with a niis- 

 cellaneous lot of "trash," a thing never 

 dreamed of in that neat place, whereas 

 it should be sashf 



And, were not the vast plantings of 

 American Beauties at the Florex Gardens 

 reduced by a cipher, a mere nothing, so 

 that 45,000 became a paltry 4,500! 



Forgive her, kind reader, as I do, for 

 without her aid the easy task of record- 

 ing the weekly doings in the floral world 

 of the city of brotherly love would soon 

 become wearisome drudgery.
