The Finest Place in America. 



Florists all over the country will be 

 interested in a visit paid this week to 

 Riverton, N. J., where the establishment 

 of Henry A. Dreer is situated. The 

 greenhouses never looked better than on 

 that afternoon, and a few notes gathered 



in the two and three-quarter hours' stroll 

 through them may prove valuable. Only 

 the most important features are here 

 recorded. A house of specimen plants 

 of Adiantum Farleyense was in beauti- 

 ful condition, the 6-inch and 8-inch sizes 

 being both well grown, showing cultural 

 skill of no mean order. A whole range 



of a dozen benches was devoted to 

 Cocos Weddelliana, a rare sight. The 

 plants were in 2-inch, 3-inch, 5-inch and 

 6-inch pots, most of them singly, some 

 made up. The larger sizes were superb, 

 something seldom seen in this country, 

 the plants being tall and graceful to a 

 degree. Kentia Forsteriana, in the 

 large, decorative sizes; filled many 

 houses, the plants being uniformly of a 

 rich, glossy green that bespoke perfect 

 health. Phoenix Boebelenii is making a 

 strong bid for popularity, the medium 

 sized plants being very pretty and yet 

 combining strength with beauty. 



The cold house is an interesting sight. 

 Bay trees, tree-shaped or standard and 

 pyramidal, presented an imposing appear- 

 ance. There was boxwood, both standard 

 and ball-shaped, and also small stock for 

 window boxes. Aucuba Japonica, also 

 Laurus cerasus, were there, too. A bench 

 of Rex begonias, in great variety, 

 is beautifully colored. Among the ferns 

 for small ferneries Pteris Wilsoni stands 

 out prominently. A block of Ficus elas- 

 tica was well grown, of medium height 

 and very attractive. Pandanus Veitchii 

 was nicely colored. I could, as Mr, Bay- 

 ersdorfer often says, "write a whole 

 volume, would space permit," of this 

 most interesting placo^ where things are 

 done well and done in quantity.
