 :“There is another class of gardens in Philadelphia, called '''public gardens''', which combine in addition to a [[flower garden]], [[green-house]]s, [[hothouse]]s, &c., a bar-room or tavern; this latter addition we are far from believing useful or needful. Gardens for public amusement and recreation are very desirable in large cities, and we should be happy if our own contained one, layed out with taste, and with some knowledge of Landscape scenery, and properly and judiciously conducted. There is something of the kind much needed; and now that even the few fine private gardens which have heretofore attracted the admiration of the stranger as well as the citizen, and which have beautified the appearance of the city, seeming like rich and fertile fields, in the midst of barren wastes—now, that these (one of which, we had hoped, would have ever remained, if not in private hands, as a '''public garden''', and as a breathing place to a thickly inhabited city) are cut up and destroyed in the tide of ''public'' improvements—to make room for piles of brick and stone—the want of them will be more quickly perceived. There is scarcely a city in England, or upon the continent, but has its '''public gardens''', ‘Tea gardens,’ or something of the kind.”

 :“Few of our cities or large towns, have done any thing towards establishing places for the health and recreation of the inhabitants. Boston with its beautiful [[Boston Common|Common]], and Philadelphia with its elegant [[square]]s, stand before other cities; but in the newer towns which have recently sprung up, there have been scarcely any which have made any provision for gardens or grounds, where the public could resort and breathe fresh air. We know of no one object so well deserving the attention of men of wealth, who wish to do a noble service to the public, than the formation of '''public gardens''' ''free to all'', in crowded towns or cities.”
