adapted to one or another of the south- 

 ern states. 



All amaryllis and crinums, hedychi- 

 ums, curcumas, alpinias, phryniums, 

 cooperias, zephyranthes, pancratiums, 

 White Roman hyacinths, narcissi, tube- 

 rosas, fancy and other caladiums and 

 .alocasias and many other bulbs grow 

 here to perfection. 



Aquatics. 



Next in order are the aquatics. AU 

 tender and hardy water lilies can be 

 grown here the year around outdoors, 

 with the least attention. If I could 

 sell, for instance, all the tender water 

 lilies I could produce at $4 per hundred, 

 I would grow nothing else. 



Some Comparisons. 



To close, I will make a few remarks 

 on plants in general. Many a good 

 plant you don't see catalogued because 

 it costs too much to keep a suflBcient 

 number of stock plants to propagate 

 •from in the north. In the south it is 

 different. The florists have no trouble 

 to winter over a lot of stock plants and 

 can make cuttings the entire year, and 

 the plants here are often far superior 

 to the northern product. For instance: 

 A. Clerodendron Balfouri rooted in the 

 south from a hard- wood cutting will 

 produce large buncues of flowers in a 

 2-inch pot, where a plant from a soft 

 cutting growing in the north will not 

 produce a flower under ordinary circum- 

 stances for two years. 



There are also some plants that are 

 not grown in this country at all and 

 could be, produced in some of the south- 

 ern states, as the Laurus nobilis, the 

 acacia and others. 



In conclusion I will say that ninety- 

 nine per cent of all plants grown in the 

 north, the south should produce. 



THE DEATH ROLL.

Jonathan Aucock was born at Snaith, 

 Yorkshire, England, May 13, 1828. Ke 

 received a good education and then was 

 apprenticed to a gardener. He came to 

 this country in 1850 and for one year 

 worked at Hunter's Island, Westchester 

 County. Next he went to Annandale, 

 Dutchess County, and entered the em- 

 ploy of John Bard. Mr. Bard was a 

 man of large means who had a splendid 

 country seat on the North river, where 

 he lived a retired life. Mr. Aucock had 

 charge of his farm and garden for ten 

 years. In 1867 Mr. Aucock came to 

 Utica and bought a farm of eighteen 

 acres on the Champlin road, Whitesboro. 

 Here he established a vegetable garden, 

 which he conducted quite successfully 

 for many years. In 1876 he bought the 

 property at 610 Whitesboro street, where 

 he established a greenhouse. Later he 

 established another greenhouse on Co- 

 lumbia street, just back of St. Luke's 

 Hospital, which he conducted for ten 

 years, until 1892. Then he removed his 

 greenhouse to the side of his residence 

 on Whitesboro street and here he con- 

 ducted it very successfully until twelve 

 years ago. Since then he has lived on 

 Steuben street. He thoroughly under-
