MORRI^TOWN, N. J. 



A recent trip through Morristown, N. 

 J., revealed the fact that the florists in 

 that home of the millionaire are enjoy- 

 ing a fair share of prosperity. H. C. 

 Holmes is having a new entrance and of- 

 fice built to connect with his houses and 

 give him more room to attend to hia 

 constantly enlarging trade. The office is 

 connected with the range of greenhouses 

 by a handsome show house for palms and 

 flowering stock and the contract is in 

 the hands of Hitchings & Co. Roses, 

 chrysanthemums and carnations all 

 looked well and flourishing. 



Mrs. Helton's establishment, on South 

 street, looked as spick and span as usual. 

 A large batch of mums were very nice. 

 The larger growing houses are located at 

 some distance from the store and we did 

 not have time to go down there, but un- 

 derstand that carnations and roses are 

 in good shape for the winter. 



The real object of our expedition was 

 a visit to some of the new private estab-

lishments that are every year increasing 

 in numbers in this vicinity. Cedar Court, 

 the residence of O. H. Kahn, was visited 

 and the superintendent, Mr. Fraser, wel- 

 comed us most hospitably. Here we found 

 J. Austin Shaw dining sumptuously on 

 an old-fashioned vegetarian dinner of 

 fried chicken and corn. Possibly the 

 bracing country air was responsible for 

 Mr. Shaw's fall from grace in thus par- 

 taking of the forbidden food, so we will 

 be charitable. 



Mr. Fraser has a chrysanthemum house 

 full of all the newest varieties and all in 

 splendid condition. Some of the hitherto 

 unbeaten champions of Morris county 

 will have to look after their laurels at 

 the exhibitions this fall, for Mr. Fraser 

 will exhibit quite largely. W. Duck- 

 ham, F. A. Cobbold, Ben Wells, Mrs. 

 Thirkell, F. S. Vallis and several other 

 kinds are simply magnificent, and we 

 may look for some phenomenal flowers 

 from this grower. 



Leaving Mr. Shaw regaling himself on 

 plums, peaches, melons and several other 

 side lines we made our way to another 

 large estate in course of building, owned 

 by Robert D. Foote. Here a large range 

 of glass is in' course of erection, some 

 houses being already planted with roses, 

 carnations and chrysanthemums. R. 

 Vince is in charge and he has years of 

 work ahead of him before the estate will 

 be completed. Stock in the houses is in 

 fine condition, particularly the carna- 

 tions, and the new rose, KiUarney, is 

 thought very highly of. A large quan- 

 tity of orchids has been purchased and 

 will be on hand as soon as the houses 

 are ready for their reception. An im- 



mense mansion is in course of erection, 

 which will take several years to complete, 

 and extensive Italian gardens and shrub- 

 beries are in contemplation. 



The growth of country estates in this 

 section is remarkable and the indications 

 are that it will continue. Several other 

 similar places were in our mind to visit, 

 but an accident to the automobile delayed 

 us too long and some time in the future 

 we will continue our travels through 

 what is probably one of the most beau- 

 tiful sections of country in the eastern 

 states. B. B. 



PITTSBURG. 



The Market. 



Trade the past week has been very 

 good. General business is improving and, 

 with a number of store openings, has 

 made a very satisfactory week's business. 

 McCreery & Co. opened their large de- 

 partment store. The event was much 

 like a social aflfair. On Monday even- 

 ing they entertained the newspaper men 

 and Tuesday evening the blue ribbon 

 crowd. Wednesday morning they opened 

 their store for inspection to the public. 

 They had the entire store decorated with 

 vases of cut flowers for all these occa- 

 sions. A. W. Smith had this contract, as 

 well as the Surprise Clothing Co.'s deco- 

 ration. 



Geddis & Blind Bros, had the deco- 

 rations for the Jos. Home Co. The 

 whole store as well as the dining-room, 

 which occupies the sixth floor, was elab- 

 orately decorated with vases of Beauties, 

 asters, dahlias and gladioli. The same 

 firm has decorated Kaufmann Bros.' 

 large store, using laurel and plants as 

 well as flowers. 



Various Notes. 



Julius Ludwig has displayed great 

 taste in arranging a scrap book of clip- 

 pings for floral illustrations which he has 

 been collecting for some time. The work 

 is interesting and valuable as well as 

 beautiful. 



The large mills in this section have 

 been piling up thousands of car loads 

 of coke to have on hand in case of 

 miners' strikes; so Fred Burki, who is 

 always up to the times, developed an- 

 other gas well for the Pittsburg Rose 

 & Carnation Co., which came in last Fri- 

 day. The well is 1,800 feet deep, with 

 a rock pressure of 150 pounds. This 

 is the third well on Crystal farm. Mr. 

 Burki says they have mums to cut any 

 time now. 



W. B. Ague, the Liberty Market florist, 

 is giving up a portion of his time now, 

 acting as judge for the civic clubs in 

 awarding prizes for the best kept gar- 

 dens and lawns in our suburban towns. 



P. S. Randolph, Samuel McClements 

 and Geo. Marshall were some of the 

 florists who took advantage of the fine 

 weather Tuesday and ran down to Bru- 

 not's Island to see the ponies go. 



Mrs. E. A. ^Williams, who can now 

 boast of an entire new greenhouse plant, 

 has the only florists' exhibit at the 

 Pittsburg exposition. 



Anthony Smith has returned from the 

 lakes full of stored up energy which 

 you will hear from this winter. No 

 one has anything on Andy when it comes 

 to getting business. 



The visitors the past week were J. A. 

 Peterson, Cincinnati; A. Langhans, 

 Wheeling, W. Va.; Wm. Craig and E. 

 J. Fancourt, Philadelphia. Hoo-Hoo.
