A masterTgrower. 



A visit tp.lbe Xahant greenhouses . 

 of Thomas Roland is all„<ial is neces. 

 sary to convince anjone of the fact 

 that the caption of these notes is 'no 

 exaggeration. The hous6s of acacias, 

 in .which about forty species are rep- 

 resented, are a sufficient attraction to 

 repay a long-disUmce trip to this 

 noted establishment. Mr. Roland 

 seems to have solved the problem 

 of. the easy propagation' of Acacia 

 pubescejis, for there ar^ yoimg plants 

 in many si7.es, including seedlings, 

 in abundance. Of cyclamens, over 

 half aji acre o( perfect plants pre- 

 sents ^'a. treat of timely interest for 

 the florist who realizes what that 

 means. for the coming Christmas. Of 

 ericas there is an almost endless ar- 

 ray in frames and houses. There are 

 two houses of Mrs. Peterson begonia 

 and one of the now scarce Dracaena 

 Massangeana with almost no limit to 

 the Lorraine begonias, oranges, ferns 

 and camellias which go to make up 

 the prospective Christmas stoclc. Mr. 

 Roland has a very pretty golden foli- 

 aged sport of Begonia Lorraine which 

 should prove popular.

SEEN AT CLIFTONDALE. 



William Sim. at Cliftondale, Mass., 

 has a field of 150,000 Princess of Wales 

 violets. The plants are of extraordi- 

 nary size and vi^or and there is not 

 a trace of red spider, the field violets' 

 great fox. .Mr. Sim will begin housing 

 the violets on October 15. He . will 

 plant 100.000 and has 50,000 to sell. 

 He will grow no sweet peas this year. 

 The houses where the peas were to be 

 planted have been used for asters, 

 which followed the late crop of sweet 

 peas and are still a mass of bloom. 

 After the violets, tomatoes will follow. 

 The asters under- glass are far supe-

rior to those outside and "yellows is 

 unknown when they are thus protected. 

 There is a vast. field of polyanthus 

 primroses. These will be taken in 

 about November 1st and will be 

 flowering for Christmas. Mr. hitn 

 plants a row of tall growing corn be- 

 iweeu the beds in the field as prim- 

 roses want some shade during summer. 

 Auriculas are planted out in the 

 sheltered spaces between the houses. 

 These are already blooming quite 

 freelv They are expecteir to prove 

 popular as pot plants for midwinter. 

 Mr Sim has devoted several large 

 houses to carnations this season. Pink 

 Delight, Rosette, Enchantress Supreme, 

 Matchless, Alice and Benora are re- 

 marUablv fine— in fact, we have never 

 before seen anything to approach the 

 house of Benora in profuseness and 

 vigor at this date. This is the second 

 year oi carnations here and they seem 

 "to fairly revel in Cliftondale soil and 

 Sim culture. -
