WAYSIDE NOTES. 



V. Burgevin's Sons, of Kingston, N. 

 Y., planted a new house, 34x180, with 

 hybrid teas and are cutting some fin« 

 blooms. Catering chiefly to retail trade, 

 they realize the advisability of growing 

 as varied a stock as possible," and they 

 are right up to date. This house con- 

 tains Perle, Sunset, Golden Gate, Ivory, 

 Bride, Maid and Beauty. It contains, 

 also, some of the newer candidates for 

 favor, Mrs. Jardine and Rhea Reid. 

 Both of these are doing splendidly, and 

 if the latter will only hold its neck a bit 

 stiff er (for it has no reason to hide its 

 head), we have undoubtedly a grand 

 rose. This house was a feast to the eye, 

 being perfect in both foliage and bloom. 

 T^he carnations are fine. Chrysanthemums 

 are going well. The first cut is gone and 

 Ivory and Bonnaffon are in full crop. 

 Side benches are used for blooms suitable 

 for funeral pieces, and the artist who 

 does the artistic work is indeed a fortu- 

 nate person to have such a variety to 

 draw upon. It is an acknowledged 

 science to make a design look passable 

 with material of poor grade, but it is a 

 positive delight to perform the artistic 

 when one has decent stock to work with. 



Wm. Williams has purchased the Stow 

 place at Kingston, and is getting things 

 into shape. He had the misfortune to be 

 bitten on the hand by a dog, but it is 

 hoped that no serious results will follow. 



P. J. Cookingham, of EUenville, N. Y., 

 is picking fine Enchantress. He is also 

 a market gardener of note. 



J. R. Hunt, of EUenville, is an enthu- 

 siastic amateur and has just completed a 

 large house, iron frame and cement, for 

 general purposes. 



Cedar Rapids, Ia. — Ground will be 

 broken within a few days for the fine 

 new flower store and greenhouse which 

 is to be erected by Capt. Jas. G, Crozier, 

 at Third avenue and Fourth street. The 

 lot is one of the most convenient in the 

 city. It is owned by the Rock Island 

 and a long time lease has been secured 

 by Mr. Crozier. The oflSce will front on 

 Third avenue and the greenhouse will 

 run back to the alley. Mr. Crozier will 

 have a most attractive place of business 

 when his plans are completed, and he in- 

 tends to make his store of real conven- 

 ience to the public by arranging a part 

 of it so that it may be used as a waiting 

 room by patrons of the street railway 

 company.

Qirvin's Handy Cutter 



Mr. Florist, If you once Bret one of these cutters on your finger you will never 

 be without it for many times the price. Just the thing for cutting your carnations, 

 sweet peas, asters, melons, grapes, etc. Why be bothered with a knife or follow 

 th« old way of breaking your flowers when a Handy Cutter will do the work better 



and save you money and time? Don't continue 

 breaking your carnations and thus ruin hundreds 

 of young shoots dally, simply because a knife is 

 unhandy to work with, but try a Handy Cutter. If 

 you are not entirely satlsded with It you can return 

 it and ha"e your money refunded. These cutters 

 are made of spring brass, highly nickel-plated, and 

 contain a removable blade.

Looking 



Ahead 



The National Flower Show, at 

 Chicago, has demonstrated beyond 

 all question that the love of flowers is 

 growing throughout the country. 

 The people are becoming educated 

 in the right direction and everything* 

 indicates that the supply furnished 

 for 1908 must be materially increased 

 for 1909. More flowers will be used 

 next year than ever before and the 

 florists will be called upon to grow 

 and produce them. If you are up 

 to your capacity now, you will need 

 to add more glass next spring and 

 when you come to buy the new 

 house, don't forget that we are 

 foremost in the construction of the 

 commercial greenhouse. Don't over- 

 look the fact that we sell nothing 

 that is inferior in quality, design or 

 workmanship, and that, consistent 

 with high-grade goods, our prices 

 are reasonably low. We are always 

 ready and willing to furnish sketches 

 or estimates without charge and will 

 be pleased to talk matters over at 

 any time.
