WILLIAJI SIM 



As a grower of novelties there are 

 few who have made the reputation of 

 William Sim. Not only in flowers but 

 iu vegetables has he made his mark. 

 Early sweet com, tomatoes and pota- 

 toes might ba mentioned in particular 

 as very successful crops with Mr. Sim, 

 and his tomatoes under glass have 

 been a decided success. In the past 

 ■few years, however, he 'has handled no 

 vegetables under glass. 



There was a time when Mr. Sim 

 was thought of first when anyone 

 mentioned either single violets or 

 sweet peas. The blooms of the sweet 

 peas which came from his place and 

 were shown at the various shows, par- 

 ticularly through the east, were eye- 

 openers to many growers in their day, 

 and no one can forget the strain of 

 pansies which he worked out. His 

 pansy blooms shown at the First 

 National Flower Show in New York 

 were an attraction to everyone. The 

 last of his novelties was the Polyan- 

 thus. Mr. Sim selected and improved 

 on this flower and brought it up to a 

 high point of perfection. 



Now, however, nothing is grown in 

 his range of glass except carnations, 

 and with the usual Sim success the 

 houses are full from end to end with 

 Tieavy plants, and cutting great crops, 

 especially for this season of the year. 

 It is al\yays a pleasure to call at 

 Clittondale and go through Mr. Sim's 

 houses and talk with him. not only 

 about the crops that may be there, but 

 about anything connected with the
