Walter Mott's 

 Notes by the Way 



Newburgh, N. Y. 



Chas. L. Masten, the veteran seeds- 

 man has the sympathy of the trade In 

 the loss of his mother by death as the 

 result of an accident. Some very 

 beautiful floral pieces were sent from 

 members of the craft. 



Kingston, N. Y. 



Wm. Williams Is figuring on tearing 

 down and rebuilding several of his 

 older houses, to keep up with the 

 times. 



Fishkill, N. Y. 



Lou. Wood of Wood Bros, say the 

 most remarkable feature of their bus- 

 iness is the late rush orders which 

 seem to lengthen out each year longer 

 than previously. This necessitates con- 

 siderable maneuvering and such a thing 

 as an empty bench Is now unknown. 

 They will not be affected by the change 

 of name from Fishkill-on-the-Hudson 

 to Beacon as recently made. Benjamin 

 Hammond of the noted Paint Works 

 expects their address will not be 

 changed for some time. It is expected 

 to cause some confusion especially to 

 foreign correspondents. 



Marlborough, N. Y. 



Velie Bros, expect to grow their 

 usual quantity of paper white nar- 

 cissi, but have cut down on Roman 

 hyacinths. Comet is considered the 

 most profitable tomato for indoor cul- 

 ture. States Searles has practically 

 abandoned his greenhouses, devoting 

 his energies to the auto business. 

 Milton, N. Y. 



P. Lyon finds Enchantress still his 

 best carnation, the soil being well 

 suited to it, for it is as vigorous and 

 prolific as when first sent out.

DEFECTIVE LILIES. 



We have been having trouble with 

 our Giganteum Hiies. We plant about 

 fifteen hundred every ten days and up 

 until the last two batches the blooms 

 were splendid, stems of fair length and 

 foliage very good. The last two 

 batches have good foliage, a very short 

 stem and the bud will develop to about 

 one-half inch and then blight. I would 

 think it was cultural reasons but the 

 plants sitting adjacent will develop a 

 good stem and a good flower. Fully 

 fifty per cent of the last batch went 

 bad. Can some of your readers give a 

 reason or suggest a remedy? 



I would suggest light shading and 

 keep in cool, airy side bench with 

 front ventilation and not too much 

 water at the roots, or frames outside 

 with lath shading. We always find 

 good results in that way. It will give 

 good stems and flowers. 



H. H. Bartsch. 



Waverley, Mass. 



All agents of European seedsmen 

 now in this country are unanimous in 

 stating that a decided shortage exists 

 in seed crops of carrot, beet and 

 Golden Self-Rlanching celery. Late 

 peas are slightly short. All other 

 seed crops are reported as much bet- 

 ter than they were last year.
