WAYSIDE NOTES. 



Some men are born geniuses. J. S. 

 Cunningham, at Cold Spring, N. Y., is 

 one, being sexton, undertaker, landscape 

 gardener and florist. No branch is 

 neglected for the others; he says it is all 

 in the business and dovetails one into the 

 other. He has just finished a house 

 24x100 feet. This addition gives him 

 quite a range of glass for carnations, 

 which seem scarcer than usual at this 

 time though we have had plenty of sun- 

 light. Growers claim that the plants 

 have made softer growth and the holi

a center of horticulture. New houses 



ZLF?^^ "P' P^o^"ci°g some of the 

 finest stock m the Hudson valley. The 

 Newburgh Floral Co. has adopted plans 



and oflSce. A sunken garden with 

 aquatic ponds, is to be a f^eature! Sn 

 Crete and plate glass will be used in the 

 construction of the houses. This section 

 of the town bids fair to be the most 

 aristocratic and Dr. Waite deserves much 

 credit for his foresight in erecting so 

 handsome a structure. 



The Yuess Gardens Co., of Newburgh, 

 has plans for a big addition to its plant 

 to be begun as soon as ground can be 

 broken. The firm reports a good season, 

 with orders in plenty for the holidays! 

 Carnations are selling at $1 and $1.50 

 per dozen. The finest scarlets are Beacon 

 and Prospector. The latter has a bril- 

 liant color and is the freest of all. The 

 bloom IS rather undersized, but the color 

 and freedom of habit make it a profit- 

 able kind to grow to sell at retail. Bulb 

 trade has been good and prospects for 

 spring seeds are exceUent. The cold 

 storage plant is filled with lilies for sum- 

 mer delivery. 



Valentine Burgevin's Sons, of Kings- 

 ton, N. Y., introduce each year some- 

 thing new in decorative art and rightly 

 attribute their success to keeping abreast 

 of the times. This season combination 

 baskets and ferneries of the choicest 

 ware will be shown. Their customers 

 need not go to the metropoUs to see the 

 best offered. 



William Williams, on Broadway, 

 Kingston, keeps up the reputation of 

 this swell neighborhood and has a fine 

 stock for holiday trade. m
