THERE can be no better evidence of the RAPIDLY
increasing floral tastes Of our people than the fact
that we have within our own state two such ex-
tensive and prosperous establishments as those Of
Messrs Closson Of Thetford and Allen of Brattle-
boro. We have seen orders filled during the past
week from each Of these florists which would do
credit to the oldest houses in the country Indeed,
we have never seen finer pansies (of which he
makes aspecialty), gerauiums, verbenas and prim-
roses than were furnished by Mr.. Closson, or
chocer roses, chrysanthemums, hardy shrubs and
climbing vines than were procured OF Allen.
very choice variety OF seeds also accompanied
these orders; but the necessity of using seeds is
fast Welding to the convenience of procuring
plants, such as asters pansies. verbenas, ten
weeks stocks, etc, at DAYS notice. So extern
sive are the varieties now furnished by these
houses so well adapted are their products to our
| soil and climate, SO prompt, obliging and lib
eral are the dealers in filling orders-that our
tradesmen find no occasion to go abroad for their
supplies. No lover of choice shrubs and beautiful
flowers should fail to obtain catalogues from each
Of these houses I'll. p. Closson, Thetford; c. e.

The familiar forms Of Hon. Charles Dewey and
his son William appear again on our streets af-
ter ten weeks absence in Europe They seem to
have been exceptionally fortunate in their tour
Entire exemption from seasickness or illness OF
any description was accorded them, and some pro-
pitious divinity seems to have brought them to
points of great historic interest at the time to rem
der the visit Of peculiar interest. To be in Dub
lin on St Patricks Day, to see Melrose Abbey by
moonlight, to be in Stratiord ON Avon on the an
niversary Of the great poets birth, and in Paris
at Faster are instances of the rare fortune that
seems to have followed them to the farthest limit
| of their Journey Italy was the turning point OF
a trip of some eleven thousand miles extent, and
during the time to which they were limited we
venture to say that no other tourists ever took in
a more detailed survey OF the curiosties and won
ders that lay in the route chosen by these gentle
men, or brought away fresher and more copious
"reminiscences Of their Journey. Although not
wanting in a strong sentiment of nationality be-
fore making this tour, Mr. Dewey returns per.
fectly content always TO remain an American, al.
ways to live in America, and able now to give the
reason of the faith in America that is in him.
