Various Comment. 



A sudden and decided change lias ar- 

 rived. Snow enough for a cutter to 

 slide, and the merc-ury down to 5 de- 

 grees below zero. This will shorten up 

 supply and also eustom, for the few peo- 

 ple who tell you they delight in frozen 

 noses arc too odd to indulge in our 

 products. They delight more in suck- 

 ing icicles and lunching off fried snow- 

 balls. 



The visitors to Boston have arrived 

 home all the better for the hospitality 

 of our Boston friends and the sight of 

 the great flowers we saw, and all hands 

 feel delighted that the next convention 

 is so near. If it were summer it would 

 be a delightful boat ride across Lake 

 Ontario. As it is likely to be frigid 

 •weather, many will be inclined to save 

 car fare and skate across the forty miles 

 that separate the Dominion from the Re- 

 public. 



Visitors have been plentiful of late, 

 among them Mr. Knickman, Rutherford, 

 N. J.; Benj. Hammond, Fishkill; Harry 

 Balsley, Detroit; A. Ringier, Chicago; 

 Mr. Zirkmann, representing Rice & Co., 

 Philadelphia. Mr. Z. is such a clean-cut, 

 good-looking young man, with teeth as 

 immaculate as his linen, that it 's no 

 wonder he was captured quite young, 

 and was a husband and father at 21. 

 Such boys don 't wander around loose 

 very long. 



The failure of Mr. Foss has been men- 

 tioned. The failure was worse than we 

 had first supposed. The stock in the 

 greenhouses was recently sold at $150. 

 "We believe this was the only asset, while 

 the liabilities amount to $10,000, mostly 

 borrowed money. Mr. Foss does not 

 seem to have been particular or partial 

 in spreading his favors in this line, but 

 toucher, rt wide circle of friends and 

 acquaintances, including several shrewd 

 bankers. Where all these contributions 

 ■went is a mystery, but those most deeply 

 interested seem to trouble little to find 

 out. It's high finance all right, but not 

 frenzied and too deep for the ordinary 

 mortal to understand.

trade and who is in town, Kasting's 

 wholesale house is the place to learn it 

 ;)11, and there we found Mr. Gilmann, of 

 violet fame, from Rhinebeck. Mr. Gil- 

 mann is a violet man ^nd there is no 

 spot or fly on him. As he ships his en- 

 tire product to Mr. Kasting, it is natu- 

 ral he should pay us a visit occasionally. 

 Mr. (jiilman says: "1 could grow vio- 

 lets in the neighl>orhood of Buffalo as 

 well as 1 do on the HutLson. " There is 

 no doubt about it, and he that says you 

 cannot grow violets in this or that local- 

 ity is laboring under a fallacy. They 

 have never really tried. They have given 

 up the struggle as soon as met by a 

 minute but stubborn foe. That is the 

 moment a good gardener fights and con- 

 quers. W. S. 



CORFU, N. Y. 



One wishing to be well repaid should 

 make a visit to the Wm. Scott Co. 's 

 Corfu place. Carnations as grown here 

 are the best I have seen this season. 

 Nine large houses are devoted to this 

 flower, but the variety that is first and 

 last to my mind in this place is Enchan- 



tress, with its 3 Mi -inch bloom on a 3-foot 

 stem, and lots of them. White Lawson, 

 Queen, Bed Lawson, Mrs. Lawsof and 

 Harlowarden are grown and well thought 

 of. We found Boston Market here in 

 fine shape and Glacier fine but off crop. 

 Flamingo is good but a trifle shy. David 

 Scott says that with early cuttings he 

 thinks this variety will pay. Prosperity 

 here is all but what its name would in- 

 dicate. The plants are healthy and 

 fine but so shy that David says you 

 iiave to hunt to find the blooms. David 's 

 time these days is pretty well occupied 

 going from residence to his houses, as he 

 is recently the father of a young Scott 

 of the third generation and judging from 

 his smiles it is his first. Five houses 

 here are all devoted to roses, which are 

 looking well, but are now in light cut.
