AN ECHO FROM THE LONG AGO 
On Saturday last the editor was wearied and thankful that the day of 
rest was at hand. A package was brought in by express and deposited on our 
table. Opening it, there lay the grandest collection of dahlias that we have 
ever seen, Colored from bright orange to crimson, and almost black and in 
all their combinations, lay several dozen of such royal beauties as might put 
Solomon to envy by reason of their gorgeous wardrobe. 
Everyone who beheld them caught their breath in delight and showered 
adjectives in abundance in describing their emotions. 
The giver of this royal collection was W. W. Wilmore, grower of fruits 
and flowers * * * *.,
