Various Notes. 



John Young has coinmeneed to cut 

 Idealities from his 7l)()-foot house at Bed- 

 ford Station. Jle says he wishes he had 

 two more houses just as large. "The 

 wish is father to the thought,'' they say. 



A goodly iiiiinber of the wholesalers 

 are nursing attacks of hay fever, but 

 there are no hayseeds among them. The 

 new president of the S. A. i\ is one of 

 the \i(dims.

ty-ninth street, corner of Lexington ave-

 erection of a conservatory at Far Rock- 

 away, amounting to over $1,400, and 

 seems well satislied with the business of 

 the year. 



Ilitchings & Co. arc now casting their 

 boilers at the new foundry at Elizabeth. 

 X. J. The plant will be completed and 

 the lirm fully established in the new lo- 

 cation by tlie first part of November. 



The I'ierson T-Bar Co. is receiving 

 many orders from Canada this fall, the 

 fact that there is no gutter or eaves in 

 the construction appealing to the llorists 

 of the northland, because thereby the 

 snow storms lose their menace and im- 

 portance. 



Lord (.Sc Burnham are building an ex- 

 tensive addition to the [ilant of the Bo- 

 tanical (l.ardens at Washington. They 

 .also have a .$20,000 contract for a build- 

 ing at the Agricultural College at Stoors, 

 (oiiii., and one of similar pr()])ortions at 

 the Siddiers' Home at Washington. 

 These ami other large plants at Cornell, 

 .\mlierst and other colleges demonstrate 

 the uiii\cisality of interest in tloricul- 

 tiire taken everywhere by (uir educa- 

 tional institutimis.

 Jersey growers last week, lie is quite 

 sine his large store will be none too deep 

 for the Hood of stock he has arranged 

 for. 



.\. Lecakes \- < (1. are .already receiv- 

 ing an average of l.nod strings of snii- 

 lax weekly. Four thousaml a week is 

 the winter record. (Jood leucotlioe and

 more ferns are already in storage than 

 were used all Inst season.

 this week to the new store, at 1 '_' West 

 Broadway and '2-7 (ireeiivvich street. 



The Kervaii < 'o. now occupies both 

 doors of till' new store on West Twenty- 

 (Mglith streid. Regular supplii^s of wild 

 smilax are arriving daily, and fresh pal- 

 metto canes are now in abundance. This 

 firm has faidlities for .a large winter's 

 trade. .Mr. Kervaii, Sr.. has just re- 

 turned frmu the (irami .\rmy reunion, 

 at Saratoga, X. N'. 



K'lissin (Sc llanlliiig rejiort a large 

 shipjiing trade. Their baskets and 

 sheaves are of their own manufacture. 



Ceneral coini)laiiit is made of the 

 slowness of colle(dimis in every line of 

 the trade, but if advance orders with the 

 bulb men and wholesale sup|dy houses 

 are a safe indication of prosperity, this 

 will b(^ the best se.ismi ever kiiuwu ill
