elapsed it would take a Philadelphia law- 

 yer to discover any serious breach of the 

 business courtesy that has actuated the 

 wholesale florists at all times. It is sure- 

 ly conceded even by those who proscribe 

 individual firms that the right to show 

 courtesy to friends is not competition 

 with the legitimate retail business. The 

 effects of present conditions will appear 

 flisadvantageously to ma'ny when autumn 

 arrives. 



Special Train to Cincinnati. 



Frank H. Traendly, F. E. Pierson and 

 John Young, the transportation commit- 

 tee of the Florists' Club, announce a 

 special train for the conventionists, which 

 will be a second section of the Second 

 Empire, leaving the Grand Central sta- 

 tion at 12:40 p. m., Monday, August 16, 

 stopping at Albany, Utica, Syracuse, 

 Kochester and Buffalo, so that by the 

 time the train leaves the scene of last 

 year's splendid convention it will be 

 well loaded. The fare is $15.15 from 

 New York and berths $4. The club's 

 house committee will keep open house 

 with a well stocked larder. If you want 

 a lower berth, write Secretary Young 

 at once. Saturday there were only 

 enough left to go around and if you 

 do not want to climb, you would be wise 

 to let him hear from you without de- 

 lay. 



A Visit to Scarboro. 



A veritable crystal palace is the plant 

 of the F. R. Pierson Co. at Scarboro, 

 divided into six sections, each about 

 54x300 in size, the latest 375 feet long, 

 and each one requiring an acre of ground 

 and totaling over 100,000 square feet of 

 glass. Two of these immense houses 

 have been built this season. In the latest 

 a great force of men are busy at one end 

 completing the cement construction, while 

 at the other sections the soil is being 

 wheeled into the solid benches, and fol- 

 lowing this White Killarney is being 

 planted, 25,000 of them in this house 

 alone. The whole great plant is to be 

 devoted to Killarney and Winsor, except 

 for a small section set aside for the test- 

 ing of new varieties of roses and carna- 

 tions. Practically four large houses will 

 contain white and pink Killarney and two 

 will be devoted to Winsor carnations, the 

 money-making power of these having been 

 demonstrated last season, with a record 

 of double value over any other varieties. 



There is room for two more of these 

 big houses on the land nearest Scarboro, 

 and many more in the other direction, so 

 there is no limit to growth if it should 

 seem desirable. Lord & Burnham Co. has 

 completed the construction work of the 

 buildings perfectly. The heating system 

 is yet to be installed, under F. R. Pier- 



son's own direction. The scheme of solid 

 benches has so appealed to him that the 

 whole area will have this system of plant- 

 ing, cement partitions, walks, sides, etc. 

 Practically the whole structure is fire- 

 proof; even the sills are cement, and 

 every detail has been carried out with the 

 idea of permanency, or, as Mr. Pierson 

 puts it, "to last a hundred years." The 

 whole property here has advanced enor- 

 mously in value since 1907, a purchase of 

 twenty-five additional acres at that time 

 having increased to five times its original 

 valuation and purchase price. The glass 

 area alone here shows an expenditure of 

 over .$100,000. 



Mr. Pierson cannot say too much in 

 favor of White Killarney, as practically 

 evidenced by its enormous planting. He 

 says white roses every day in the year 

 may be depended on, and in any quantity. 

 This devotion to specialties sounds a valu- 

 able hint to growers everywhere, the un- 

 limited field for the best of anything 

 being here forcibly emphasized. The New 

 York Cut Flower Co. handles the output 

 of this range, and the Beauty range ad- 

 joining, as well as the stock of the Paul 

 Pierson range at Ossining, over 150,000 

 square feet. 



The Pierson Co. will make an exhibit 

 at the Cincinnati convention, as usual, 

 and some new ferns will add interest to 

 the display.
