WAYSIDE NOTES. 



At the J. C. Rogers' greenhouses, in 

 Peabody, Mass., where C. Simpkins is 

 superintendent, is a unique collection of 

 standard zonal geraniums, heliotropes 

 and fuchsias. They make a grand show- 

 ing during the season and as decorative 

 plants cannot be surpassed. A specialty 

 is also made of varieties of the Martha 

 Washington or show type. These are of 

 splendid colors and size. Some hand- 

 some specimens of Cattleya Trianse are 

 in full bloom, 



J. M. Ward & Co., of Peabody, report 

 the largest Eaater business on record. 

 They make a specialty of flowering 

 plants, which are increasing in popular- 

 ity. 



At E. T. Gerry's, in Newport, R. I., 

 under the care of Arthur Griffin, super- 

 intendent, can be seen a fine showing of 

 the rare and beautiful Gloriosa, which as 

 a decorative plant cannot be equaled, 

 either for graceful habit or richness of 

 color. Something seldom seen on this 



side of the pond is a border of Laran- 

 dula Spica. I met Richard Gardner, 

 who pointed this out to me here. 'Twas 

 like meeting an old friend. 



At the E. J. Berwind place, Newport, 

 Bruce Butterton is completing what will 

 be the show place of Newport, in addi- 

 tion to possessing an almost complete col- 

 lection of coniferae. 



In Warwick, R. I., rapid strides are 

 being made by the Pierson U-Bar folks 

 in the building of a fine range for 

 Senator Aldrich. Supt. Greene says they 

 cannot be built too soon to suit him. 

 We shall see great crops of orchard 

 house fruit grown here. Manager 

 Burke, of the Warwick Greenhouses, who 

 does most of the planting on the island, 

 says he does not remember so late a 

 season for planting. It has helped the 

 nurseryman to catch up with his orders, 

 but the gardener will be late with early 

 vegetables. 



As a proof of the hardiness of 

 Azalea amoena, E. W. Clark, of New 

 London, Conn., pointed out a large speci- 



men that has stood several years in a 

 sheltered corner, while hardy rhododen 

 drons near-by were partially killed. 



Friends of Rennie & Thomson, ot" 

 Providence, R. I., will regret to learn 

 that this young firm has been forced to 

 liquidate. The chief reason was un 

 favorable location. They fitted up an 

 up-to-date place, but it was a case of 

 Mohammed going to the mountain an<i 

 not bringing the mountain to Mohammed 

 At present their plans as to the future 

 are not formed. W. M. 



Hareisburg, Pa. — The building occu 

 pied by John A. Kepner, at 33 and 3" 

 North Second street, is being improve' ■ 

 with a new front. 



MoLiNE, III. — ^Work has been starteil 

 by Contractor H. C. Quade upon a fine 

 new brick building for William Knees 

 at 1827 Fifteenth street. It will b« 

 used as an oflSce and store and will b( 

 modern in every particular. On thu 

 same lot Mr. Knees will erect a first 

 class greenhouse, 27x110 feet.
