Due giardini, quelli di Geremia e di Mosè Brown, sono eccezionali e non devono essere omessi.

. Germantown Gardens and Gardeners. , Warner, George L.Harrison, Dr. Ashton, Samuel Welsh, John Wagner, C. C.Harrison, and William Weightman gardens, we may onlyhave a look at as we pass, for almost every garden indicatedis worthy of complete presentation. Two gardens, those ofJeremiah and Moses Brown, are exceptional, and must not beomitted. Each is distinct, and both in bewildering prodigal-ity are stocked with the rarest of shrubs and trees. In 1816, this place belonged to the celebrated Dr. Caspar Wistar, forwhom wisteria sinensis was named, and it was doubtless dueto his knowledge, that many unusual plants there appear. Gar-dener here for many years was Myles Y. Warren, who livedat Rittenhouse-Town, and who conducted a florists es-tablishment at the northwest corner of Rittenhouse Street, andWissahickon Avenue, the site of whose place is now part ofFairmount Park. One of the most interesting characters connected withthe gardens of Germantown, and more particularly withgrounds that are now included in Vernon Park was. Caspar Wistar, M. D. 75 Matthias Kin, locally known as the wild-man, becauseapparently he had no abiding place, for as the winds, hecame and departed as he listed. Kin was a friend of plantlovers about Philadelphia, and as such, he disposed of hisplant collections to sympathetic customers, among whomwere Henry Kurtz, and John Melchior Meng, whose gardensadjoined. As indicated, Kin was a collector, and madefrequent journeys into unexplored parts for seeds and rareplants. From every known scrap of information concerninghim, he was a character unique. As described by a friend toThomas Meehan, Kin was a remarkable specimen ofhumanity, full 6 feet tall, broad shouldered, with enormousbones and little flesh, and as one said, a literal picture otdeath. He dressed like the Indians among whom he lived.When he came to Philadelphia or Germantown, he stoppedonly long enough to send his plants and seeds to Europe, hecollecting principally for German growers.
