This, added to the fall earlier in the

 up to the average. W. N. Craig. 



WITH PRIVATE GARDENERS. 



H. J. Osterhoudt, gardener on the 

 Clyde estate, at ^ew Hamburg, N. Y., is 

 an enthusiast on dahlias, and is pushing 

 the show to be held in September, which 

 promises to beat the record. He has 150 

 varieties under cultivation and says they 

 are all distinct and good. This is a beau- 

 tiful place and reflects great credit on 

 the able superintendent. 



Jas. Keeley, gardener to the Sands es- 

 tate, showed me some fine specimens of 

 the English Frame cucumber, which 

 equals in flavor the famous Telegraph 

 and is as long and thicker than that va- 

 riety. 



A. A. Hunt, at Millbrook, N. Y., has 

 made many improvements since assuming 

 charge of the Mrs. Dan. Lamont estate, 

 which is one of the most charming on the 

 banks of the noble Hudson river, Mr. 

 Hunt was associated for several years 

 with Wm. H. Head, at the famous M. T. 

 Plant estate, at Groton, Conn., and will 

 introduce many ideas conceived there. I 

 noted specimens of Betinospora plumosa 

 aurea and E. Veitchii twenty-five feet 

 tall, perfect trees. The glaucous Picea 

 Kosteri is also extensively planted. The 

 entrance to this charming estate has been 

 made most inviting by Mr. Hunt, 

 with a pond of hardy aquatics backed 

 with bright hued plants. 



E. Hicks, gardener on the H. H. Flag- 

 ler estate, at Millbrook, is doing some 

 fine landscape work at this new place. 

 Much of the seed is being supplied by 

 W. C. Russell, who was formerly super- 

 intendent at the Dieterich estate, but is 

 now located in the village and doing a 

 good business as landscape artist, seeds- 

 man and florist. The Bennett school, 

 •with its 500 pupils, makes the demand 

 for flowers good and Mr. Eussell gets the 

 patronage. 



J. Bovington has charge of the Wing 

 estates, which comprise three of the 

 finest plots in this section. There is 

 something doing all the time, and to keep 

 up a rotation of crops is one of the se- 

 crets of the successful gardener. 



John Baxter, gardener to D. Odell, at 

 Peekskill, N. Y., has made a thorough 

 test of hardy grapes and finds Niagara 

 the best white in commerce. The bunches 

 are thinned out carefully and produce 

 berries equal to that old favorite. Buck- 

 land Sweetwater. 



Robert Hutchinson recently took charge 

 of the James Shewen estate, at Cold 

 Spring, N. Y., and is making many 

 changes and improvements. A combina- 

 tion rose and carnation house has been 

 completed by the Lord & Bumham Co., 

 who will now erect a handsome palm 

 house. Mr. Hutchinson held a responsi- 

 ble position at the beautiful estate of the 

 Duke of Westminster and proposes to 

 make his new charge a model after 

 Eaton Hall. Robert Hutchinson, Jr., 

 came over with his father and has charge 

 of the pretty place of Captain Jenkins,

at Balmville, having as neighbors W. 

 Correz, superintendent at the Burton es- 

 tate, and Duncan Aird, of the Van Du- 

 sen establishment. Mr. Aird is a special- 

 ist on carnations; some of the finest 

 blooms handled in Newburgh are from 

 his houses. A splendid collection of 

 conifers and flowering shrubs are cared 

 for, a duplicate of which is seen at 

 Downing Park, under the care of Charles 

 Hueble. M. 



Shawnee, Okla. — John G. Brenner, of 

 Indianapolis, Okla., has purchased 200 

 feet of ground on Broadway and Bell 

 streets, and will erect a range of green- 

 houses at a cost of about $18,000. 



Cloverpoet, Kt. — Among the prepara- 

 tions made for the Bre<^enridge fair 

 was the erection of a building which 

 will be known as the new Floral Hall. 

 It is a commodious and well finished 

 structure, with abundance of light. The 

 managers concluded that the horticul- 

 tural display last year was so creditable 

 as to entitle this department to more 

 suitable quarters.
