LINES,

Lines inscribed to ALEX’R WALSH, Esq., on reading his “Agricultural Thermometer” which lately appeared in your paper, written after the manner of Swift.

When Flora searched the world around
For beauty, love, and grace,
At length a charming spot she found,
And called it Elm Place.* […]

☞ The following list comprises the Botanical names, of plants in Mr. Alexander Walsh’s Garden in this village

It grows wild from Canada to Virginia, but is greatly improved by cultivation, particularly the root. 13, Lathyrus latifulius; 14, Clematis flanimula; 15, Linum, pereund of Linneus.

☞ Notwithstanding the decease of its original proprietor, Walsh’s garden still blooms in all the luxuriance and beauty for which it has been so long-celebrated: The lovers of the rural art, can there find many rare and exotic plants, emitting their rich fragrance, and exhibiting all the most delicate tints of the rainbow. The past season has been highly favorable for the full perfection of Flora’s kingdom, and in no place can a more attractive exhibition of the labors of the fair goddess be found, than at Elm place, in this village.

Walsh was especially famous for his extensive gardens which lay to the north of “Elm Place”, his commodious house on the corner of John (4th Avenue) and Elizabeth 116th (Streets).
