Various Notes. 



From Milburn to Madison, through 

 Jersey by auto unfolds a beautiful pano- 

 rama of mountain and dale, and many 

 a lake of glass. Henshaw Bros, was the 

 first stopping place, where five modem 

 houses 24x150 are devoted to roses. 

 Eight acres of ground denote future pos- 

 sibilities, and carnation culture is on 

 the cards. This plant has been estab- 

 lished five years. Conrad Siebert is fore- 

 man. Here the new rose, Minnie Hen- 

 shaw, is growing splendidly, a beautiful 

 cerise pink, large, sweet, a strong grow- 

 er, and wonderful keeper. The quantity 

 grown for the market is all contracted 

 for by one of the big Broadway florists. 

 It looks like a valuable acquisition. The 

 Henshaws are young men of fine char- 

 acter and ability, and will grow rapidly 

 in reputation and success. They are 

 nephews of Grandpa Henshaw, of Staten 

 Island, one of the young old men of 

 American horticulture, like Dr. Hexamer, 

 Chas. Allen, and Edgar Sanders. Maids, 

 Brides and Kichmonds are grown here, 

 and the output is handled in New York

by A. M. Henshaw. Mrs. W. Henshaw, 

 who has been ill for a long time, is con-

Next come the eight houses of Ander- 

 son & Christensen, 18x100, devoted ex- 

 clusively to fern culture, where scores of 

 thousands of all useful varieties are 

 grown and shipped yearly to every part 

 of the country. The plant has been es- 

 tablished for eight years. Here the 

 largest stock of cibotium in America 

 may be seen, in from 3-inch to 12-inch 

 pots. The varieties of ferns grown in- 

 clude all the best sorts, both for speci- 

 mens and for filling ferneries. Mr. An- 

 derson has just returned from a summer 

 at his old home in the land of the mid- 

 night sun. 



On the highway leading to Madison 

 appear the great establishments of L. M. 

 Noe, L. A. Noe, and Henry Hentz, and 

 not far away is the home of the Brides- 

 maid, where Mr. Moore still holds sway, 

 but the shades of evening made post- 

 ponement of a call at these places neces- 

 sary. One could spend a week within 

 teiK miles of Madison, visiting profitably 

 the homes of the rose growers, and still 

 have duties unfulfilled. 



Near Summit is the big house of V. 



Hamann, 26x250, devoted to Mrs. Law- 

 son carnation. Nearer Madison we pass 

 John Voight's place on the hillside, and 

 Ben Lapp's, where progress is evident 

 yearly. Lyman B. Coddington's great 

 plants at Murray Hill and New Provi- 

 dence cover a quarter of a million square 

 feet. Here roses are grown. Some of 

 the new houses devoted to Beauties are 

 .50x350, and the stock now is superb. 

 The cut is handled in Twenty-eighth 

 street by H. E. Froment. 



Charles, the right bower of Theo. 

 Lang since 1894, is n(jw added to the 

 force of Ford Bros. To look at their 

 stock of Ivory, pink and white, on its 

 arrival Saturday one would have ac- 

 knowledged the need of extra help, and 

 the wisdom of the record size ice-box 

 here. 



Wm. C. Grimshaw, late of Atlanta, 

 Ga., has taken a position with Alex. Mc- 

 Connell. 



"Van Praag has added to his novelties 

 a large stock of the popular nursery 

 rhyme flower boxes. Out of town flo- 

 rists may realize their value and beauty 

 by the price, which is $1 each. The top 

 of the box is good enough for framing. 

 The novelty ideas in all lines — vases.
