FLORAL PARK, ;^.Y, 



In 1874, when John Lewis Childs lo- 

 cated on the Hempstead plains and turned 

 a portion of that unsightly sedge into a 

 flower garden, which grew larger every 

 year, he was building better than he an- 

 ticipated, for from the foundation upon 

 which he only hoped to build a success- 

 ful business has developed a beautiful 

 and largely self-supporting village. At 

 present there are not as many large 

 fields of flowers at Floral Park as 

 formerly, for the reason that the town 

 is growing fast and the land became 

 too valuable as residential sites, and Mr. 

 Childs thought it best to purchase more 

 land further east. He therefore secured 

 about 600 acres at St. James and Stony 

 Brook, and nearly 200 acres at Franklin 

 Square and Garden City. But there are 

 enough flowers grown at Floral Park 

 each year, to maintain its reputation as 

 the floral village. Last season Mr. Childs 

 sold over 3,000,000 gladiolus bulbs, 

 which were shipped to all parts of the 

 world. Some of his special stock he has 

 grown on his place at Pasadena, Cal., 

 which he calls the California Floral 

 Park. He has a four-story brick build- 

 ing here, 80x100 feet, which is used for 

 storing gladioli and other bulbs, but 

 still its capacity is barely sufficient to 

 meet the requirements. His seed build- 

 ing, in which the offices and retail pack- 

 ing and mailing departments are lo- 

 cated, is entirely covered on the outside 

 with Boston ivy, which makes it one 

 of the prettiest office buildings located 

 on Long Island. Ex-Postmaster Arthur 

 H. Goldsmith is general manager for 

 Mr. Childs, while Isaac S. Hendrickson 

 has charge of the wholesale department. 



The publishing department, where Mr. 

 Childs has all of his printing done, is 

 run under the name of the Mayflower 

 Publishing Co., and occupies a two-story 

 brick building, in which is installed the 

 machinery necessary for turning out 

 catalogues. Major John F. Klein is 

 manager of the printing department. 



In the department of floriculture is 

 J. Boscoe Fuller & Co., who do a gen- 

 eral catalogue business and ship quanti- 

 ties of bulbs, seeds and plants to all 

 pxxlip of the United States, as well as 

 to l l; y| g # .jponnt>!^a3. Frederick JM-

 Stryker and William Siebrecht. They

 AllM^'who is one of the pioneer seeds- 



men of Long Island, has an office and 

 storeroom in Floral Park, but has most 

 of his seed grown in the eastern section 

 of the island.
