WHY? 



A. H. HEWS & CO., INC. 



Cambridge, Mass. 



A FINELY DEVELOPED ESTATE. 



Mr. Thomas Proctor for 18 years 

 superintendent to R. W. Patterson, 

 Esq. "Blantyre," Lenox, Mass. anil 

 who in November last became horti- 

 cultural adviser to W. R. Coe, Esq. 

 "Planting Fields," Oyster Bay, L. I., 

 N. Y. has now been appointed gen- 

 eral superintendent. 



With the conclusion of the armistice 

 Mr. Coe decided to proceed with the 

 development of his estate which is 

 among the finest on Long Island. 



The already large and important col- 

 lection of rare and choice shrubs, 

 trees and conifers will be supple- 

 mented by further importations this 

 spring in anticipation of the plant ex- 

 clusion order. The entire greenhouse 

 establishment has been thoroughly 

 renovated and re-stocked and every 

 plant in them bears eloquent testi- 

 mony to Mr. Proctor's well known cul- 

 tural skill. The most remarkable 

 feature of Mr. Coe's place at the pres- 

 ent time is the very large collection 

 of Camellia Japonica now coming into 

 full bloom in bewildering variety. A 

 large show house has been especially 

 built for the display of these plants. 

 The floor of the house upon which the 

 plants stand is sunk about five feet 

 below the level of the walks in or- 

 der that the plants may be displayed 

 to the best advantage. In addition to 

 the Camellias in this large show 

 house which is approximately 125 feet 

 long by about 60 feet wide, there are 

 also many handsome specimens of 

 Acacia and Azalea Indica. The plants 

 will be at their best in just about one 

 week's time. 



In the recently constructed bay tree 

 storage house are contained some of 

 the handsomest bay trees, buxus and 

 specimen rhododendrons that have 

 ever come to this country. In many 

 respects this is one of the finest places 

 on Long Island. There are many 

 things on this estate to interest the 

 gardener, the landscape artist, the 

 architect and the engineer. 



Philadelphia, Pa. — Robert Cole has 

 leased Jacob Becker's greenhouses at 

 2d and Ludlow streets.
