RAMBLING JOTTINGS. 



E. A. Baker, of Ilion, N. Y., is com- 

 pleting the erection of a fine office and 

 show room. This work was interrupted 

 by the busy holiday season, which cleaned 

 him right out of stock. 



W. D. Snell, of Herkimer, N. Y., Bays 

 he was never so busy as during the holi- 

 day season. He grows most of his stock 

 at the branch plant at Mohawk, where he 

 expects to add to the 30,000 feet now 

 eompleted. 



J. O. Graham, of Little Falls, N. Y., 

 •ays Santa was extra good to him. Since 

 the rush he has been kept busy receipting 

 bills — some are not so fortunate. A 

 promising son is learning the art of 

 growing Lorraine begonias with Joseph 

 Traudt, of Canajoharie, who is renowned 

 beyond the valley of the Mohawk for his 

 success in the culture of this plant, which 

 was even more popular this season than 

 ever before. It is a climb up to Mr. 

 Traudt 's place, but one feels, well repaid 

 with a visit, and the grand scenery sur- 

 rounding his snug place is worthy of note, 



H. C. Hatcher, of Amsterdam, N. Y., 

 will dispose of his place across the river 

 to a prospective wholesale grower, who 

 can find a good market here for every- 

 thing grown. The increasing plant at 

 Hoflfmans, situated between Amsterdam 

 and Schenectady, necessitates this step. 

 George Hatcher says he finds the demand 

 for orchids steadily increasing. At the 

 time of my visit he was putting up a 

 eorsage bouquet, consisting of violets, 

 valley and cypripediums, that would 

 bring smiles of pleasure to the cheeks of 

 the fair wearer. 



Thontas Barson, of Johnstown, N. Y., 

 has the sympathy of the craft with him 

 in his sickness. He was down with bron- 

 chitis just at the busy time. His better 

 half did herself proud, putting in her 

 best work, and pulled through in good 

 shape. 



Robert Main, of Gloversville, N. Y., 

 expects to retire from our attractive pro- 

 fession after the spring rush. The south- 

 ern fever has a strong hold on him at 

 this season of the year, but old Boreas 

 will soon let up and, as Fred Goldring 

 remarked at Slingerlands, N. Y., a day 

 or so previous, while testing a new Lord 

 & Burnham boiler with the thermometer 

 10 degrees below zero and a biting wind 

 blowing at the same time, " If we had no 

 winter we would not know what summer 

 was. ' ' Perhaps he has a relative in the 

 ■coal business and rejoices at his success. 



Washington, D. C. — A greenhouse on 

 the grounds of Trinity College, at Hare- 

 wood and Michigan avenues, has been de- 

 stroyed by fire. The house was erected 

 last fall and was well stocked with plants.

The secret of success in 

 market gardening is earliness. 



The Sunlight Double Glass Sash 

 makes it easy to have the earliest 

 and best plants. They will be 

 ready as soon as the field is ready 

 to receive them. The resulting 

 crops will get the top-notch 

 prices. 



Sunlight Double Glass Sash 

 lets in all the light all the time. 



Mats and boards for covering are 



no longer needed saving expense 

 and labor. 



Throughout the entire day the 

 plants get benefit of the stimulat- 

 ing sunlight and earlier, better 

 crops result. 



The two layers of glass do 

 the work. A fi-inch cushion 

 of dry air between acts as a trans- 

 parent blanket over the plants 

 and protects them even in zero 

 weather. 



Agents Wanted. The wonderful 

 success of Sunlight Double Glass Sash 

 makes it one of the best agency prop- 

 ositions open to enterprising men.
