CANANDAIGUA, N. Y. 



A Visit to Robert Ballantyne. 



The estate owned by Mrs. F. F. 

 Thompson, over which the genial Eobert 

 Ballantyne presides, is one of the most 

 beautiful spots imaginable. Overlooking 

 the fine stretch of water composing 

 Canandaigua Lake, the planting has been 

 so arranged as to permit charming views 

 in every direction. 



At the time of my visit everything 

 was looking its best. The new Japanese 

 garden, just finished, is considered to be 

 the finest in America. Native experts, 

 assisted by Mr. Ballantyne, have been at 

 work on it for a year. The flower gar- 

 den was a blaze of color. Every known 

 variety of hardy annual that flourishes 

 here is grown, giving the place an ap- 

 pearance of immense experimental 

 grounds. One variety of aster, Mikado, 

 was the gem of the collection. 



To enumerate every good thing would 

 take up too much space here, but those 

 luscious muskmelons were irresistible. 

 The variety is Irondequoit and it is con- 

 sidered to be a gem for both frame and 

 hothouse. It is not a new variety and 

 deserves wide cultivation. Creole Beauty 

 is another grand sort. Chasselle's Vibert 

 ia a fine white grape for indoors. Or- 

 chids are grown extensively. A clever 

 contrivance for cypripediums is a square 

 tub with slats placed one inch apart, the 

 tub standing on legs and thus allowing 

 a free circulation of air. The plants 

 are in perfect health. 



Among bedding plants, the old favor- 

 ite single General Grant is the most pop- 

 ular geranium. Jean Viaud is another 

 excellent variety. M. 



New Haven, Conn. — Andrew Mc- 

 Crea's store, on Meadow street, is said 

 to be noted for the tasteful, artistic 

 character of the window displays. 



Bbookling, Mass. — Olmsted Bros,, the 

 landscape architects, have planned naany 

 changes on the Do Forest estate, at Cold 

 Spring Harbor, L. I. THe contemplated 

 improvements include a large Italian 

 garden, pergolas, fountains and water 

 gardens, with a complete change in the 

 drives and the system of planting.
