THE PEOPLES DAY.
1t is too bad, said gardener florist ves-
terday at the Exposition that this great
display should be discontinued without CIV
ing people of limited means better show
to come here with their families, and it is
not fair to make workingmen pay twenty
five cents for children. / take my own
case, says he, as an instance. To get here
from my home costs me fifteen cents each
child, and at the turnstile l have to pay
twenty-five cents each, same as for one
adult. With my family of six am taxed
w 40 and my return home costs me again
fifteen cents each, making one visit here an
expense of SO 30, which is more than poor
man can afford; and yet poor mems
children and poor mems wives like to
see the floral display, like to look at the
rare plants, like to see the pictures and like
to hear the organ and the band, and to
wander like Others through the thousands
OF attractive displays that are gathered here
to interest or instruct. The managers of
the Exposition, said he, are men who have
been desirous of making it financial sue
cess. They have expended large sums of
money to make it attractive and incurred
obligations that have compelled them to
make as much money out OF it as possible,
but the receipts have been large in propor.
ton; the outlay has been returned, and
now they can afford to give the people of
small means chance to come
with their families at nominal price.
The men Of wealth and ease, who have
mainly had charge of the enterprise, do not
perhaps know the difficulty that laboring
man has to spare the money to send his
whole family here at the present prices, To
come with one or two and deny the privi-
lege to other members of the family is sure
to cause pain to those that are left behind
and many cases under my observation have
occurred that none have come at all, be-
cause So or $4 was more than they could
conveniently spare on even the luxury of
the Exposition. Quite little knot of bv-
ISLANDERS became interested in this
argument and molder. who was
in with his wife and children
saw the STAR that had proposed winding
this show up with Peoples Day, when the
prices should be put at 10 cents each had
recommended a measure of justice to the
men in moderate circumstances with fami.
lies, that would notbe forgotten by them
whether the Managers acted upon the sug-
gestion or not He said the men had read
the editorial in Thursdays STAR, and it had
been commented on at their shops and the
hope was expressed that the suggestion
would be complied with, when the whole
force would knock off work and make it
holiday for their families.
HORTICULTURAL SUGGESTIONS.
In discussing the horticultural DISPLAY
and the restricted accommodations the
present hall affords for the plants it seems
that the feeling is entertained by florists
and gardeners that there is not the proper
arrangements arrived at in the plan for
plant display. Some three or four exhibit |
ors, and one of these from Washington
monopolize the horticultural space to pre-.
sent mass of plants they have mainly |
purchased elsewhere with money and not |
themselves grown, and on these have
been awarded premiums in various
sums. Out of the sixty-fve florists
and gardeners who supply the plants
and flowers to the people of Gin
cinnati no more than four have
entered into competition for or received |
premiums. Why is this? In 1872, when
there were not exceeding 12 or Is |
florists, nearly every one was represented |
with a display, and none failed of receiv.
ing an award of some kind, some several.
First, of course, we must have more space
and Washington Park is, per-
haps, the place to seek it, and there the
premium lists must be overhauled and so
adjusted that at least 20 out of the 65 gar
deners shall be represented in the display.
Of course 65 florists can not have 65 stocks
OF plants complete in each department,
nor is it desirable it should be so If soil
has to be brought here from Philadelphia
for our cameias or peat from New Jersey
for azaleas, it naturally follows that those
plants may be more generally successfully
grown in Philadelphia than here; but here
one garden may have speciality for one
class of plants, and another for another.
Mr.. Critchel may, if you please, possess an
collection of palms; the Cincin-
natl Floral Company may have superb
assortment of crotons; while Sunderbruch
may possess the most complete collection
Of cacti and aloes. This does not necessa-
rily prevent Mr.. Walz from dis
tancing either with roses, or
Mr. GARNER, of Dayton, with begonias, or
Mr. Jackson, of Newport. with pelargo-
NUNS, or Mr.. Cobb, of Covington, with
Fuschias Among Partisan market florists
one grows verbenas alone, and of these pro-
1nces millions and at lower rates than is
possible for one to grow who raised mixed
stock of plants; another stock gillifowers;
third pelargoniums; a fourth roses; fifth
azaleas; sixth primroses, and so on to the
md OF the chapter. Our florists will do
