Beautiful Sight. 
The flower garden at J. S. Reed’s, 
Beach street, Manchester, which is pic- 
tured on our front page this week, is one 
of the most beautiful sights in Manches- 
ter. The garden is all that the pic- 
ture portrays, —a mass of flowers, most 
beautiful in color, effectively arranged, 
and most attractive to look upon. Mr. 
Reed is not a professional gardener; in 
fact he has never made more than a 
casual study of flowers. Several 
ago when the Boston & Maine put up a 
high fence, separating its property from 
his, and thus shutting off part of the view 
from his premises, Mr. Reed was forced 
through his natural inclination for neat- 
ness and order to cover up the rough 
board fence and the beautiful garden 
filled with all sorts of Hower resulted. It 
is one of the beauty spots of Manches- 
ter every summer, 
years.
