and Daybreak which he proposes to 

 sell this tall. 



A house 160x"2(i. and a house IsoxKi. 

 are now full of Jacque roses, all in 

 pots. These he will soon dry off and 

 rest preparatory to winter forcing. 

 For a fall and early winter crop. Mr. 

 Cartwright grows chrysanthemj.ims. 

 handling them altogether in pots r and 

 8 inch. Ivory is his principal variety. 

 These are all grown to about four or 

 five stems and till up entirely the two 

 latter houses. He grows them during 

 the summers months, out of doors, in 

 temporary frames. His Jacques, which 

 crop will follow the chrysanthemums, 

 he brings in at different times so as to 

 keep up a continuous crop. He usual- 

 ly begins cutting about the first of Fel)- 

 ruary and continues up to the first of 

 May." It takes about 3..5(:»0 pots to fill 

 up his space. In addition to these 

 crops, Mr. Cartwright forces about 

 20,<X»0 bulbs, principally Roman hya- 

 cinths and Von Sions. 



Peter Fisher's. 



About four miles from Dedhara i.s 

 Ellis, the home of that grand carna- 

 tion, Mrs. Thos. W. Lawson. and we 

 found the genial originator. Peter 

 Fisher, hard at work preparing to 

 house his stock of nearly ten thousand 

 plants. The most of these are planted 

 in the open ground and considering 

 the excessive wet season, have made 

 fairly good sized plants. A lot of late 

 struck cuttings in 4-inch pots looked 

 very nice and stocky. Mr. Fisher will 

 devote a little space to other varieties 

 and to a fine lot of seedlings, and we 

 trust that among them he will obtain 

 another of the same type as the "Law- 

 son." 



Tom Tapper's. 



At Canton we run across our old 

 friend, Tom Tapper, who has obtained 

 quite a reputation as a successful 

 grower of Dutch bulbs, making a spe- 

 cialty of named hyacinths, which he 

 disposes of at wholesale in the Boston 

 market. Mr. Tapper caters for a lo- 

 cal trade, and has to grow quite a lot 

 of odds and ends to supply the demand 

 of retail customers. Mr. Tapper is 

 one of the old timers, being one of the 

 original eleven who started in the 

 flower business in Boston and vicinity 

 at the close of the civil war. 



IP YOU HAVE anything to sell to 

 the trade, offer it in an adv. in The 

 Review.
