one was selected. The choice fell on 

 William K. Harris. There were two 

 reasons for this; first and foremost, 

 Mark Patton Mills had extended one 

 of those cordial invitations that are a 

 distinction in themselves and — matter 

 of interest to a newspaper man — there 

 was a little invitation in the papers to 

 see the Easter show at Harris's on 

 Palm Sunday. 



I have been there before on that day, 

 always in the morning, with a select 

 few securing a stage rehearsal, so to 

 speak, of the afternoon performance. 

 I have there listened with deep interest 

 to discussions in which his Grace of 

 York and other famous horticultural 

 celebrities took part; discussions on, for 

 instance, the exact proportions of white 

 and of green that should properly apr 

 pear in a high-bred variegated plant 

 of this or that variety. To go in the 

 afternoon when the crowd was there 

 was a treat never before enjoyed. 



It was glorious. West Philadelphia 

 came in force, despite the cold winds, 

 undismayed by the inch of snow, fast 

 disappearing, that had startled them on 

 wakening that morning. Fathers, moth- 

 ers, sisters, brothers, youngsters, lovers, 

 all were there enjoying the beautiful 

 sight. The shed was arranged as it 

 always is, with groups of plants in half

 of colors gives a peculiarly brilliant ef- 

 fect, toned by the darker surroundings. 

 The houses were mostly open to the 

 visitors. Officers were there to keep 

 the crowd moving to the right to avoid 

 conflict and congestion. It was an in- 

 spiring sight that should certainly be 

 of lasting benefit. 



There was a sprinkling of the pro- 

 fession. Israel Rosnosky was there. *'A

 he said. Such comparison is a compli-

 cheerful air that makes the knowing

 William K. Harris was spied gravely 

 talking with an anxious inquirer. When 

 he had finished and cordial greetings 

 were exchanged he was asked for Lilium

 soon. Four years ago William K. Har-
