and Brides are grown here and Mr. 

 Brant has a new Bride, thornless, prolific 

 and not susceptible to mildew, which he 

 will put upon the market next season and 

 of which he and other local rose growers 

 speak highly. This company, it will be 

 remembered, took first prize this year 

 for its Beauties at the Buffalo rose 

 show. Mr. Brant has a brother in Utica, 

 in charge of the former rose plant of 

 Peter Crowe. 



Close to Mr, Badgley's are the places 

 of Ernest Lawyer, A. P. Smith and Ed- 

 ward Behre, with from 5,000 to 25,000 

 square feet of glass, all shippers to the 

 New York and Brooklyn wholesalers and 

 all prosperous because of the excellence 

 of their stock. 



Kighter & Barton have two large 

 plants, 75,000 square feet altogether, de- 

 voted entirely to rose growing, their es- 

 tablishments being models of neatness. 

 J, I, Raynor, in New York, handles their 

 output. 



Eobert Schultz is back again from the 

 road to his first love, Richmond, and as- 

 pires to be known as the Richmond King. 

 He has 20,000 square feet devoted to it 

 and says he will ship them every day 

 this summer, so New Yorkers will never 

 be out of red roses as long as Mr. 

 Schultz holds the fort. 



Close at hand is the busy mart of C. 

 H. Totty, where the genial chrysanthe- 

 mum expert was found overwhelmed with 

 shipping orders and unable to keep up 

 with the demand. Over 200 mum seed- 

 lings are being tested, largely the Pock- 

 ctt varieties from Australia, The vet- 

 eran grower, W. "Wells, of Merstham, 

 England, has promised to visit Mr. Totty 

 this fall. There is a Crimson Rambler 

 hedge on Mr. Totty 's grounds worth go- 

 ing far to see. His family go in a few 

 days to their summer home at Canan- 

 daigua, N. Y. He favors Rochester for 

 the S. A. F. convention of 1910. 



Arthur Herrington has so far recov- 

 ered from his illness as to be in evidence 

 on the street in Madison, twenty pounds 

 lighter, but convalescing rapidly. 



Near Madison is the old Schultz place 

 of 40,000 square feet, also devoted to 

 roses, where Alex. Schultz presides. 

 Close at hand is the rose plant of the

veteran, David Shannon, the genial son 

 of Emeraldia. Near Chatham we pass 

 Samuel Luro's place of 40,000 feet of 

 glass, where seven of the houses are 300 

 feet in length. Not far away are the 

 ten acres and 30,000 square feet of A. 

 J. Guttman, where D. D. Storms is fore- 

 man, and Beauties, Killarney, Chatenay, 

 Richmond, Kaiserin, Sunrise and Presi- 

 dent Taft are grown. 



As an exception to the rule, we next 

 reach the orchid factory of Lager & Hur- 

 rell, where good news is on tap and com- 

 ing prosperity to the country emphasized 

 in "the biggest orchid demand ever 

 known," to quote from Mr. Lager. Large 

 importations are arriving constantly. 

 Over 100 varieties of orchids are includ- 

 ed in the late arrivals, some of especial 

 value and beauty. A great stock of Cat- 

 tleya gigas is cut daily and sent to Jas. 

 McManus, New York. In stock are over 

 500 distinct varieties. Beautiful vandas 

 are just coming in flower. The exhibit 

 is a grand one and worthy of a day's 

 visit from every retail florist in the 

 country. 



Any trip through this section is in- 

 complete without a visit to the great en-

terprise of L. B. Coddington. Here a 

 new house 55x425 has just been added to 

 the 130,000 square feet already in use 

 for the manufacture of roses, and roses 

 only, with a little asparagus on the side. 

 A 105-foot stack, 4x4 inside, has just 

 been completed, with a boiler pit 23x110, 

 in which a twelve-ton tubular boiler of 

 150 horse-power is being installed, which 

 heats 50,000 square feet. The big, new 

 house was built by Hitchings & Co., and 

 is devoted to Killarneys. Beauties, 

 Brides, Maids and Bichmonds fill the rest 

 of the houses, many of them of modern 

 size and construction. H. E. Froment, 

 in New York, handles the entire output 

 of the establishment. 



Beyond and on the way to Summit are 

 the establishments of Ed. Marble, A. E.
