WAYSIDE NOTES. 



Thomas Love, of South Bethlehem, Pa., 

 is one of the few veterans in the profes- 

 sion who can boast of a record of thirty- 

 six years ' continuous service in one place. 

 He has just rounded out this length of 

 time on the beautiful estate of G. B. 

 Linderman and has practically planted 

 every tree fJourishing thereon. He looks 

 good for another span of the same length 

 of time. 



Timothy Hogan, who has charge of the 

 E. P. Wilbur estate, grows annually a 

 grand lot of gloxinias from leaf cut- 

 tings. As decorative plants they are 

 gorgeous, and while not profit.nble to grow 

 commercially, a few are fine for window 

 decoration. William Scott, of Buffalo, 

 has grown a large number each year and 

 sold them at good prices. 



Ernest Ashler, of Allentown, Pa., has 

 a most unique flower store. The sides 

 are covered with mirrors of various sizes, 

 bordered with birch bark and moss. 

 Kift's flower holders are used to advan- 

 tage. This end of the business is pre- 

 sided over by his clever little side part- 

 ner, who keeps the boys hustling at the 

 greenhouse end to supply the stock nec- 

 essary for a rapidly increasing business. 



A. B. Ellsworth, of Allentown, reports 

 a busy seed business. The backward sea- 

 son has caused a rush which will soon 

 be over. 



F. Horn & Bro., of Allentown, have a 

 big stock of bedding plants, a leading 

 line with them. 



Ira G. Marvin, of Wilkesbarre, Pa., 

 is reported as having purchased a coal 

 breaker for the purpose of supplying the 

 necessary fuel to heat his big plant. One 

 of the largest electric signs I have seen 

 was being erected at the time of my visit.

ports the biggest season on record, both 

 in seeds and plants. He has also a big 

 nursery business. Here can bo found 

 everything pertaining to floriculture and 

 ornithology. Something unique is the 

 training of the loquacious parrot, it being 

 the special duty of a clever lad, during 

 spare hours, to teach this bird how to 

 talk. Above the rush and bustle, follow- 

 ing the stereotyped "Polly wants a 

 cracker," was heard such remarks as 

 "Clark, you're all right. There's no 

 flies on you." 



James B. TuUy, Binghamton, N. Y., 

 has been unable to carry on the business 

 since last fall, when he was laid out. 

 His busy side partner has kept things 

 going with the help of a reliable man. 

 Men of this kind are met with occasion- 

 ally. I understand that W. H. Graham 

 is giving up his houses, intending to de- 

 vote his whole time to the store and con- 

 servatory. W. Wilbur has the best grown 

 lot of bedding plants in the city.

 new addition to the plant of the United
