SCRANTON, PA. 



I liave ever seen, and, as a backgroi 

 to tho court, there has been erecte. 

 Chinese pagoila, which, with its c,i 

 jngs and latticework, its sloping ; 

 wide-extended j)orches, makes a m 

 nilicent airangeinent for a resting-]il: 

 for the visitors at this summer hoiiu 



^Ir. Pedsliam is ]danning some ek 

 orate jdanting of the Chinese type 

 this place. The Italian garden, sjiol 

 of before, is now in its glory, w 

 most of the annuals .and perennials 

 full bloom. From the grajie arbor 

 the end of tho garden, it has a m 

 charming eflfoct, as the view leads . 

 over the Italian garden to the c 

 servatory, which is attached to i 

 lireakfast room. Tho planting aron 

 the houso, and the baskets on i 

 fiorches, lend a cozy and restful : 

 pea'rauco. Tho chrysanthemums a 

 other plants are coming along in spl. 

 did condition, and evt>rvthing bespti;i 

 tho careful direction of Mr. Podshain. 



[ then rowed across the lake a 

 took a glance at tho place of C. 

 Woolworth, a member of the firm 

 F. S. Woolworth Co. His summer n 

 dence is across the lake from Mr. 1-' 

 ler's, on a hilltoj^. I found everythii 

 in thriving condition. His garden. 

 Bert Ferris, has no greenhouse, b 

 with tho aid of hotbeds has r.aisi 

 many annuals and perennials, and wi; 

 tho help of plants from the city tlori- 

 has succooded in getting his idai; 

 blooming in splendid condition. T- 

 shrubbery and tlower bods are excec 

 ingly fine. 



Charles Blair's homo is dosed for tl 

 summer, while ho is on his extomi. 

 tour of tho continent; nevorthtdess li 

 gardener has looked after the jilace Jii 

 as ]iai!istakingly as if Mr. lilair was 

 homo. (r. K. c

Private Gardeners. 



( )m a V i-it to till' |ii\at(- ^.'ii ilciiers 

 north of the iiioiiiit;i iiis trniii Scraiiton. 

 I t'ouiid William Pe.|sh;iiii busy in the 

 Italian garden, gathering a most li;ind- 

 soiiie bunch of tlowers t'or the rodiiis of 

 the hoMic of his rmpldver. .M. p,. |"iill,.r. 

 This place is on the top ot' a lii;.di liill. 

 and the scenery from this \ ii'wpdint is 

 most magnidi'ent. The greenhouse is 

 in a little valley, safely ludtected from 

 the cold blasts of the win. I. .Mr. Pe.l 

 sliarii, tlie gardener, has been at this 

 place most of the tune since it vv;i- 

 laiil out. and li.as ha.l a large part in 

 its development. Tin' results s]ieal< 

 vvitli a great deal of cre.jit. imt unly 

 to liis workmansliiji in tiie plaeing of 

 the points of inti'iest. but also in the 

 sidting of the shrubb(My and trees of all 

 isiiois. which cover a large area. The 

 tennis htwii IS one of the niost periect 



The Market. 



The last week has boon one of te 

 rifle heat and no rain. The weath. i 

 bureau roportod tho hottest day th:t 

 has boon known horo for over twent 

 five years. Those who could get awa 

 have loft the city, and business h: - 

 been correspondingly sla(d<. This h; - 

 not boon a hardship, however, as thei 

 has been a dearth of flowers of ;i 

 kinds. Roses are beginning to arri\ 

 in moderate Jots, and valley is in tl- 

 usual supply, but, aside from the- 

 items, everything is scarce. Funer; 

 work has been about all there was t 

 do, yet most of our tlorists have li;i 

 to hustle to get enough material ' 

 meet the demand. 



"Various Notes. 



J. ('. ("orliitt has opene.l a reta 

 store on Bridge avenue in ch.-irge ot il 

 wife of his grower. .\rr. Postnut. P"' 

 Afr. aud .Mrs. Postma are llorists of loi 

 experience, ■•md they should get .a go' 

 business as soon as they bei'ome know 

 '["hey have been doing as well as con 

 be expected under the circumstance-. 



Mclntyro Pros, have the best displ.i 

 of fancy caladiums we have seen for 

 long time. They certainly make th 

 windows look well, now that otic 

 stock is so scarce. They have two nc 

 I'ord delivery cars, with beds built t 

 order, which they expect to juit int 

 commission in another week. This 

 a new feature for Nashville, and shoiil 

 jirove a great convenience. 



We paid our first visit to the ne 

 pl.'int of (b'tiy Pros, last week and wei
