Nephrolepis Scholezii. Samuel Batchelor 

 exhibited some well-grown roses. 



North Wales. 



Eugene Bernheimer said, in his engag- 

 ing way, that the greenhouses at North 

 Wales were well worth seeing. And when 

 Mr. Bernheimer wants you to do a thing, 

 it is difficult indeed not to do it. So Ben- 

 jamin Gibbs, Mr. Bernheimer 's right 

 hand man, was consulted as to the exact 

 psychological moment for such a visit. 

 Mr. Gibbs chose the time so well that a 

 perfect day and a galaxy of floral lights 

 were there at one and the same time. 

 David Fuerstenberg, whose creative ge- 

 nius has made the Florex Gardens ; Henry 

 C. Geiger, whose painstaking care pre- 

 vents leakage at the Florex Gardens; Eu- 

 gene Bernheimer, whose energy and en- 

 thusiasm puts life into the Florex Gar- 

 dens; George Samtman, under whose 

 knowledge and skill the plants thrive at 

 the Florex Gardens, all were there. Each 

 vied with the other in courtesy and in 

 willingness to discuss the hundred and 

 one points of interest. 



The Florex Gardens have vastly im- 

 proved since the incipient stage of a year 

 and a quarter ago; additional buildings 

 have been put up, grounds laid out, rub- 

 bish cleared away, new glass added; in 

 fact, everything has been done that could 

 be done to put the place in first-class 

 condition. The Florex Gardens today 

 consist of the mammoth house so well 

 known, containing 45,000 American 

 Beauty rose plants, one-half in solid beds 

 (these are in their second year), the other 

 half young plants in benches; and two 

 houses of smaller dimensions, partitioned 

 in the middle, one and a half planted in 

 carnations, the remaining half in Beauties, 

 increasing the total number of the queen 

 of roses to 47,000. The Beauties, Mr. 

 Samtman said, were far finer than at this 

 time last year ; the plants showed remark- 

 able vigor throughout the summer and 

 are now of good size, well set with buds,; 



The ro6f of the mammoth house harf 

 been repainted. The carnations were a 

 thrifty looking lot of indoor-grown stock. 

 White, soft pink, bright pink and scarlet 

 were represented by White Perfection, 

 Enchantress, Winsor and Beacon respect- 

 ively. Queen and Boston Market are also
