PHILADELPHIA society was strongly interested in the 
National Flower Show, more especially in the “Tea 
Garden” for which the women’s societies and the bene- 
 ficiaries were responsible. Mrs. Howard Pancoast and 
Mrs. Charlemagne Tower were some of the active ones. 
The Garden clubs are interested in buying in a co-oper- 
" ative way vast amounts of bulbs for block planting. Gar- 
-dening is a fad now among society folk, and the approach- 
‘ing spring season will find scores of society women busily 
engaged in the gentle art. For the classic English view 
of the garden one must go to Lord Bacon: “God Almighty 
first planted a garden. And indeed it is the purest of 
human pleasures; it is the greatest refreshment to the 
spirits of man; without which buildings and palaces are 
_ but gross handiwork; and a man shall ever see that, when 
ages grow to civility and elegancy, men come to build 
stately, sooner than to garden finely; as if gardening were 
the greater perfection. I do hold it in the royal ordering 
of gardens, there ought to be gardens for all the months 
in the year, in which, severally, things of beauty may be 
then in season.”
