The Florists^ Review 



October 20, 1921 



Come and See Our New Varieties of 



CHRYSANTHEMUM 



You will not be able to see them all in bloom at one time, 

 but any time you come, between now and Thanksgiving 

 Day, you will see several varieties that will interest you. 

 Some of the early ones are already cut out. Did you get 

 some of our Thanksgiving Pink last spring? 



BAUR & STEINKAMP 



3800 Roolrwood Ave. 



INDIANAPOLIS, IND. 



Long Island. Short stops were made at 

 the Flushing Country Club, Fresh Mea- 

 dow golf course, W. K. Vanderbilt estate 

 at Great Neck, Mrs. Henry Phipps' es- 

 tate, the Links Club, composed of 100 of 

 America's richest men; the N. F. Brady 

 estate, the nurseries of Lewis & Valen- 

 tine Co., noted for large specimen trees 

 and shrubs. Forty tree-moving ma- 

 chines are used here. All are homemade, 

 there being a foundry, sawmill, etc., on 

 the place. Lewis & Valentine at their 

 Long Island, New York and Philadel- 

 phia nurseries employ about 600 hands. 

 Harbor Hill, the charming estate of 

 Clarence H. Mackey, was next seen. 

 Here is a splendid French garden and 

 beautiful, far-reaching views. The next 

 stop was at the Engineers' Club, Boslyn, 

 where a bountiful lunch was spread, fur- 

 nished by W. R. Coe, of Oyster Bay. 

 The tables were liiioly decorated. Later 

 Mr. Coe's grand new estate, which con- 

 tains a great wealth of new, rare and 

 beautiful trees, shrubs and other hardy 



{(lants, was inspected under Mr. Coe 's 

 eadership. A large camellia house con- 

 tained fifty-two varieties of these 

 plants, probably the best collection of 

 specimens to be found in America. The 

 formal gardens are in exquisite taste. 

 An avenue of beeches three-quarters of 

 a mile long, with a double row of trees 

 on either side, is the finest of its kind in 

 America. Much valuable material here 

 came from the Arnold Arboretum, 

 Europe and California. 



At the estate of George D. Pratt, 

 where the superintendent is John F. 

 Johnston, the plantings are in fine taste 

 and the garden, with its verdant lawns, 

 broad grass steps and magnificent box- 

 woods and cedars, is unequaled in Amer- 

 ica. Short stops only were possible at 

 the estates of F. W. Woolworth, Capt. 

 J. R. De Lamar and E. F. Luckenbach. 

 The last call was at the princely estate 

 of Daniel Guggenheim, Hempstead 

 House, formerly called Castle Gould. 

 The immense formal gardens and exten- 

 sive ranges of greenhouses were inspect- 

 ed ere daylight failed, ending an inspec- 

 tion tour of some of the most extensive, 

 beautiful and noted estates on Long 

 Island. 



Blchmond, Ind. — E. G. Hill and Mrs. 

 Hill, with Fred Lemon and Mrs. Lemon, 

 went to Toronto and the florists' con- 

 vention via automobile, having a most 

 enjoyable trip.
