NOTES OF EASTERN RAMBLES. 



In a mixed business and pleasure trip, 

 we recently had the chance of seeing 

 many places which have been unvisited 

 by us for many years, and of conversing 

 with their owners. 



At Bedman's establishment, at Rah- 

 way, N. J., we were surprised at the acre- 

 age set apart for salvias. He has all 

 the varieties, and they look good. A 

 new sort, pink, sturdy habit and dark 

 green foliage, he expects to have suflS- 

 cient stock of to supply the trade in 

 1908. Portulacas, cockscombs, and striped 

 and blotched petunias are also excellent 

 .features. Tomatoes are grown to the 

 number of 500,000 plants. In plants for 

 seed of all descriptions, over eighteen 

 acres are grown on his place. 



Carnations at C. H. Allen's green- 

 houses. Floral Park, L. I., thrive to the 

 best advantage. Victory, Charles Web- 

 ber's introduction, has proven so far the 

 leader for the Long Island growers as 

 the best scarlet. 



John Lewis Childs has a large plant 

 outside of his seed and bulb houses. 

 New strains of Rex begonias, as well as 

 fine specimens of crotons, stand out par- 

 ticularly well. He has also a good gen- 

 eral collection of plants. Mr. Childs, with 

 his customary hospitality, took us in his 

 horseless carriage for a ride around his 

 property. We had long known that glad- 

 ioli were some of the leading features 

 at Floral Park, but were astonished at 

 the space devoted to this item. 



At Despatch, near Rochester, N. Y., 

 James Vick's Sons' trial grounds were 

 showing good returns. Practically all 

 the hardy annuals were in bloom. A 

 large space was set apart, we were in- 

 formed, for a contract order of 100 

 pounds of Phlox Drummondii grandi- 

 flora. Snowdrift aster was in full flower. 

 Their other varieties were looking well, 

 but the prospects are for a thin crop of 

 seed. 



At Cranford, N. J., where L. Ussing 

 has been located for over thirty years, we 

 found a class of plants which one rarely 

 can discover in this country, especially 

 grown for the New York market, such 

 as wallflowers, myosotis, yellow and white 

 daisies, etc., which are brought in for 

 Christmas. Mr. Ussing always comes 

 home from the city with an empty bas- 

 ket. He personally sells his stock. 



W. H. Keyser, Jersey City, says he 

 liad the oest trade for many years last 

 spring. He grows a great many of the 

 vegetable plants used by the seed trade 

 in New York city and has also a good 

 sale for bedding plants. F. S. P.

PEOPLE who know a good thing when they see it, and will take advantage 

 of the same, must be possessed with good judgment and are generally suc- 

 cessful. One of our successful growers has this year taken out 6ooo feet of 

 wooden gutters, which were only ; years old, and replaced the same with 6ooo feet 

 of the GARLAND IRON GUTTER, this being his fifth annual order. 



Our long list of orders of this kind is our best reference. By writing any of 

 the large growers at Chicago you will confer a favor on the
