When in Toledo, last week, by way Of
a recess from the hurry, worry and tur-
moil of the busy streets, we availed our
selves of the privilege Of inspecting the
famous nursery of
BrEssRs. HRINu & PHILLIPS,
located on Bancroft street, near to Adj
ANS street. Taking the street cnr from
Summit street, very pleasant but brief
ride brought us within few yards Of
the splendid residence and extensive
grounds-some twenty acres-belonging
to Mr.. H. PH1hn1Ps. Every thing looks
charming, and the feathered songesters
poured forth their merry lays in sweetest
contrast with natures beauty every
where predominant. Passing through
the grounds we were most courteously
received at the green houses by Mr..
HEINZ, than whom we have seldom met
more genial or entertaining society. The
row of glass houses, though not exactly
presenting the most imposing spectacle
externally, at first sight, are neverthe-
less substantially constructed inte-
rior affording display of beauty but
rarely equalled for attractveness.
On entering the center house wefound
ourselves surrounded with an endless
assortment of the choicest roses, includ-
ing Madam Charles Wood, Firebrand,
Chestnut Hybrid, Francois, Courtin,
General Washington, &c. Indeed, there
are Perpetual Bourbon Tea, Moss aud
climbing varieties of every conceivable
kind. In the next house on the left is a
very fine Saga pulon, a complete host of
magnificent lilies, monthly carnations,
geraniums, azalias, large fig tree, aud
many hundred other growths. In the
second house on the left we're asherantus
and cohas, fuschias, century plants,
calceolarias, heiotropes, double primro-
ses, &c. Here we were entertained with q
nice fountain in full play with fish in
the catch basin, it being surrounded
with lilies in full bloom. The first
house to the right is devoted to bedding
out plants, chiefly verbenas, of which
there are 60 varieties. Besides these
there is yet another house on the left,
containing miscellaneousstock. Around
the several houses some half dozen, in
all-were here, there and everywhere sus-
pended or fixed large variety of rustic
work in baskets, boxes, &C., very beau.
tiful both in design and effect, while
vases, shades and other decorations were
amply represented. The plants and cut
tings are everywhere conspicuous fol
strong, healthy and thrifty appearance,
propagated at the hands of an exception
al cultivator. Mr.. Heinl has had life
long experience in the business and Ger
tainly conducts the several houses with
the utmost good tact, care and ability
