NEWS NOTES. 



Northampton, Mass. — Work has 

 been started on an Italian garden on 

 the property of A. McCallum. 



Rock Island, III.— Henry Meyer, 

 who gave up his interest in the Long 

 View greenhouse a year ago, has 

 started in business in the Elks' build- 

 ing. 



Athol, Mass. — J, B. Sutherland, who 

 has been in the employ of his brother, 

 Geo. W. Sutherland, for the past two 

 years, has started a store at 322 Main 

 street. 



Wichita, Kan.— The Chas. P. Muel- 

 ler Company intend to use their new 

 houses and storage plant at 143 N. 

 .Main St.. for emergency* orders and 

 will keep them will supplied with de- 

 sirable stock. 



Spokane, Wash. — George E. Brown, 

 orchardist and truck gardener at Spo- 

 kane Bridge, has succeeded in grow- 

 ing what he proudly terms a "lemon 

 cucumber." The lemon cucumber is 

 almost spherical, but larger than a 

 lemon, and, besides having a thick 

 skin and unusually sweet meat, it is 

 said to be entirely free from the quali- 

 ties of producing ill effects upon the 

 stomach. Mr. Brown allows the cu- 

 cumber to reach only a certain size, 

 saying that an additional day's growth 

 would spoil the value of tlie product 

 as tr taste and nutrition. He will 

 plant 10 acres to the product next 

 spring. 



Salisbury, Md. — George H. Benedict 

 has located here lately, having bought 

 a nicely situated place of eighty acres 

 on the river front, about 2 1-2 miles 

 from the city. A house and barn are 

 row being built and a small range of 

 glafs is also under way, mainly for 

 experimental purposes at present, as 

 no extensive specialties will be han- 

 dled until local conditions and ship- 

 ping tatilities are thoioughly studied. 

 Mr. Benedict is well known in the flo- 

 rist trade, having owned and operated 

 the Yoikville greenhouses at Utica, N.' 

 ■^ .. a place of iJU.OOO sq. ft. of glass 

 which he sold out because he wanted 

 a Changs of climate. Salisbury is on 

 the peninsula, a few miles inland Iroiu 

 the Chesapeake Bay, and about K.i 

 miles below Baltimore. Suggestions 

 or advice from any reader of HORTI- 

 CULTURE as to what to grow In this 

 favored locality, so well situated for 

 the Richmond, Washington, Baltimore 

 ami Philadelphia markets, will be 

 much appreciated by Mr. Benedict.
