THE PARIS HORTICULTURAL EXHIBITION. 
The French people, in general, believe that they alone are the 
real originators of new ideas, and yet it is remarkable, that, of 
late years, the Parisians have shown a decided preference for 
whatever is said to be English, either in model or manufacture. 
We at home are accustomed to think most of the Paris fashions ; 
and here the fashions of England, especially for gentlemen, are 
most in vogue. Hundreds of articles sold in shops are stamped 
with English names, and passed off as of English workmanship. 
At present, even the poor hawkers in the street are everywhere 
extolling the Poires d’ Angleterre. The very paper on which I am 
writing has the “Bath” stamp; and, of course, no magazine or 
shop can be complete, without the words English spoken being 
displayed in large letters on the window or glass door. Whether 
the Parisians do well, in thus giving an English reputation to 
their own products and manufactures, is a question wdiich, 
perhaps, most concerns themselves ; but it is certain, that, so far 
as gardening goes, they have shown good taste, in seeking their 
models among the charming, fresh landscapes of the British 
Isles. With respect to plant-growing, the French are yet far 
behind us ; but, in the getting up and general management of an 
exhibition, they have more order and arrangement than we. 
Nevertheless, so far as I have seen, they entirely overlook what 
in England is considered one of the chief attractions of a flower 
show,—they provide no music. 
The weather is delightful at present. There are thousands of 
gaily-dressed people walking in the Champs Elysees. The price 
of admission is only one franc. The Exhibition itself, particu¬ 
larly of fruit, is one of the best ever seen, and yet you never see 
more than fifty persons present. I think if I had counted the 
other day, I should not have made out anything like that number. 
Wherever I have seen a flower show here, there has been the 
same quiet monotony, compared with the lively throngs that 
flock to Chiswick and Regent’s Park every summer. The con¬ 
trast is all the more striking, that the French reproach us with 
being dull. It may be quite true, that amateurs, and others in¬ 
terested in the products exhibited, can very well dispense with 
sweet sounds on such an occasion; hut, if a society has to draw 
its means of existence from the public who visit it3 exhibitions, 
it is evidently its interest to secure as many visitors as possible ; 
and I certainly agree with Mr. Bohn, that the great majority of 
those who go to flower shows go as much for the pleasure of 
showing off’, hearing the band, and seeing others, as for admiring 
the choicest productions of the garden. Divest our Exhibitions 
of the regimental bands, and let the weather be ever so fine, and 
-j but no, our clever managers know better than that,
