The Weekly Rorists' Review. 



March 10, 1908. 



WAYSIDE NOTES. 



John Ralph, of Saratoga Springs, 

 N. Y., is much pleased with the house 

 recently built by Hitchings & Co. 



H. W. Bensell has charge of tl^e green- 

 houses on the John Schafer estate, at 

 Ballston Spa, N. Y., and has built up a 

 good shipping business. 



Fred Goldring, at Slingerlands, has a 

 fine stock for Easter. The lily prob- 

 lem is uppermost just now. 



R. W. Zobel, of Albany, N. Y., says 

 that many growers make the mistake of 

 pushing the lily and then retarding, 

 which is one cause of disease. He does 

 not check the plant when once started 

 and he is conceded to have the cleanest 

 and most uniform batch in this section. 



Sambrook & Co. are shipping in fine 

 carnations from the new plant at Berlin. 

 They are near neighbors to the gladiolus 

 king, Arthur Cowee. 



Mrs. L. Gloechner, of Albany, has 

 added two houses, each 33x150 feet, by 

 Hitchings & Co. and the Pierson U-Bar 

 Co. 



John Hartmann, of Winfield Junction, 

 N. Y., had an exciting experience re- 

 ceatly, when he brought a load of palms 

 and cut flowers to decorate the Alhambra 

 Gardens. During the temporary absence 

 of himself and helper, someone stole the 

 two-horse team, wagon and contents. At 

 the time of this writing Mr. Hartmann, 

 with the assistance of the police, was 

 still on the hunt for the lost property. 



J. C. Hatcher, of Amsterdam, N. Y., 

 will open a branch store in Schenectady, 

 April 1, with everything up-to-date. His 

 son, George, will have charge. At the 

 time of my visit the whole force was 

 busy making some handsome pieces for 

 shipment to Pittsburg. 



J. W. Hilton, of Amsterdam, predicts 

 a busy Easter and has a fine lot of 

 stock for the occasion. M. 



Baton Rouge, La. — The business here- 

 tofore conducted by F. W. Heroman is 

 now run under the name of F. W. Hero- 

 man & Son, Fred I. Heroman having 

 been taken into partnership. 



Janesville, Wis. — C. G. Dwight has 

 let the contracts for the erection of three 

 houses, each 27x261, to be used in the 

 growing of roses and carnations for the 

 wholesale market. The framework of 

 the houses will be of modern iron and 

 steel construction. The capacity of the 

 heating plant will be double what is re- 

 quired for the three houses. An ex- 

 perienced Chicago grower has been en- 

 gaged and will take charge of the place 

 May 1.
