De Longpre has style all his own, hav-
ing purposely avoided taking lessons so
that his work might have individuality and
originality 1t must not be inferred, how
ever, that he has not studied his art. When
a child at school in the suburbs of Paris,
after his family had removed from Lyons,
where he was born, in 1855, he began to
study and paint flowers. Often he became
so absorbed in this occupation in the fields
on his way to the school-house that he
would forget all about the lessons, and
spend most of the day where he was. An
accounting at home always followed, and
there was unpleasantness for Paul but he
never let these little troubles draw him
away from his beloved flowers. When still
a very young man he proved that he pos
sessed unusual talent; and NJ Pallet, one
of the greatest horticulturists in France, so
admired his work that he invited him to
make use of his great Conservatives in
Chatenay, near Paris, in any way he chose,
for the furtherance of his art. This prlvl-
lege, accorded to no one else, was a great
boon to the young painter, and tor thirteen
years he passed SIX months OF every IWeINe
among the flowers. He was absorbed III
them he lived in them and for them and
when he left France, five years ago, to
make his home in New York, he brought
with him rare love and knowledge of the
bright floral companions of his youth Its
little wonder, then, that he paints them
truthfullv and alphabetically.
At Shorthills, New Jersey. in the United
States Nurseries, he has studio, and there
as in the Conservatives in Chatenay, he
spends half the year in the kingdom Of the
flowers. The rose is the queen Of this fail
land, he says, and he loves best to paint II
of all the members of the kingdom al
though not even the humblest is neglected.
During the cold months of the year he
works in his winter studio in New York
City. He is an enthusiastic admirer OF
America and Americans,a@nd intends to
! remain here all his life.

GRANGE, with limpid dew-drops trembling
and sparkling on their delicately tinted
petals; all the freshness and the charmlngly
harmonious mingling of hues have been
caught and perpetuated in oils and water
colors by his magic brush. To do this
truthfully, to put upon the canvas flowers
that seem to have felt the warm rains, and
the suns kiss, and the gentle winds, IS a
difficult achievement in art, and it is be-
cause De Longpre does it so wildly and
faithfully that he is unequaled as flower
painter in this or any other country. 1t
