The love of horticulture and the " money in the garden," are two very distinct ideas, each of great value in their way, but which should never be confounded. Yet there is often danger from such confusion. The Pennsylvania Horticultural Association often has cause to complain that at the winter meetings, the citizens at some of the places of meeting often look on them with suspicion instead of welcoming them with smiles, believing that it is a body whose sole object is in getting the last dollar from them out of a bushel of peaches, or the last penny on a pot of plums. The secretary of this society in his report has an eloquent plea for pure horticulture, which it would profit the earnest members of all horticultural societies to read.
