The Hinode folks were engaged in the 

 interesting manufacture of miniature 

 Japanese gardens when I called. With 

 native artista and a stretch of the imagi- 

 nation it was not hard to imagine one's 

 self in old Japan. An importation of 

 15,000 Japanese plants just received 

 filled up one of the big greenhouses, 

 some of them 200 years old and worth 

 as high as $100 each. It is well worth 

 a visit to Whitestone to see them. Sev- 

 eral acres are devoted to nursery stock, 

 sciadopitys, Japanese cherries, maples, 

 azaleas and evergreens of every descrip- 

 tion. New houses are to be constructed 

 this year. 



Anton Schultheis, of College Point, was 

 in Buffalo last week attending the con- 

 vention of the Knights and Ladies of 

 Honor. Mrs. Schultheis is in the Cats- 

 kills with her convalescing son. A fine 

 importation of bays, palms and arau- 

 carias has just been housed hete. 



A visit to Tarrytown and Scarboro last 

 week was made instructive by the cour- 

 tesy of Mr. Pierson, whose love for his 

 nursery department makes a journey 

 through its acres most interesting. He! 

 is developing this branch of his business 

 lapidly and finds the local demand suffi- 

 cient to take almost all he can produce. 

 There are thousands of Japanese maples 

 in the three' popular varieties and in all 

 •sizes. Some are worth $50 each. A 

 great stock of the Colorado blue spruce 

 is planted yearly. Over 1,000 hydrangeas 

 in tubs await the annual call from the 

 watering places. They are great value 

 .and some specimens bring $15 each. Rho- 

 dodendrons, Azalea mollis and tree wis- 

 tarias are especially beautiful now, in full 

 flower and are magnificent specimens. 



The! big house here will take care of 

 25,000 carnation plants next season. Tt 

 has proved its value this year in the 

 splendid young stock raised there and 

 about half of it is now devoted to 

 Daheim, Enchantress, Patten, Flamingo 

 and White and Variegated Lawson, as 

 good stock as reaches the New York 

 market. Large kentias, ficus and speci- 

 men elegantissima find their home here. 

 The house is so large, an ordinary green- 

 house plant could find refuge within its 

 enormous space. The demand for speci- 

 m.en plants of the new fern has exceeded 

 expectations. The" houses at Tarrytown 

 are full of the young stock and Mr. Pier- 

 son is enthusiastic over the future which 

 the fern promises. A fine large exhibit 

 of the novelty will be made at Washing- 

 ton. 



A. J. Fellouris has built a convenient 

 office at his headquarters at 468 Sixth 

 avenue. His new crop of ferns is large 

 and of fine quality and his galax supply 

 is already stored in sufficient quantity 

 for the summer demand. 



Cattleya gigas were worth $1 whole 

 sale' at Nugent's on Saturday. 



Ditzenberger Bros., Seventy-fifth street 

 and Fifth avenue, having sold their prop- 

 erty, are now retiring from the florists' 

 business. They have instructed John P. 

 Cleary, the auctioneer, to dispose of 

 their entire plant, consisting of nineteen 

 greenhouses, pipes, boilers, houses, 

 wagons, tools, implements, stock, etc., at 

 public auction, Thursday, June 1. As 

 everything is in first-class condition it 

 will be a great opportunity for those 

 desiring to secure any part of their com- 

 plete equipment. 



Cleary's Horticultural Hall will have a 

 special auction sale on Monday for the 

 convenience of its Decoration day cus- 

 tomers. Everything ofi"ered will be in 

 pots for immediate use. 



J. M. Keller, of Bay Ridge, will retire 

 from business June 1 and will go to Eu- 

 rope for a long stay. The business will 

 be re-organized under the name of the 

 J. M. Keller Co., and Mr. Keller's son- 

 in-law, M. Jordan, and George Appel, 

 for many years foreman of the estab- 

 lishment, will form the new company.

A BIG CONCERN. 



I notice that Mr. Hoo Hoc, of Pitts- 

 burg, thinks the Pittsburg weather ought 

 to boom hail insurance. If Mr. Hoo Hoo 

 sat at the secretary's desk, he would get 

 a notion that hail insurance was boomin" 

 all the time. Few appreciate that the 

 Florists' Hail Association is getting to 

 be one of the big co-operative organiza- 

 tions of the country.
