Various Notes. 



The completion of the Harriman estate 

 at Arden will be of much benefit to nur- 

 serymen in this vicinity. 



Greenhouse building is progressing in 

 all directions on a gigantic scale. Every 

 builder of reputation has more bookings 

 than ever before known at this time. 

 Jacobs & Sons say an increase to their 

 factory size and facilities is an absolute 

 necessity. 



The estate of John Scott, at Flatbush, 

 with over 60,000 square feet of glass, 

 shows marked advance and prosperity. 

 Every popular palm, fern and decorative 

 plant for retail florists is here in quan- 

 tity. A force of over twenty men is con- 

 stantly employed under the management 

 of David McKenzie, with George Scott as 

 foreman. Scottii ferns in all sizes are 

 the leading specialty. Many houses of 

 gardenias are in bloom. The trial of the 

 murderer of the lamented John Scott be- 

 gan Wednesday, October 13, in Brooklyn. 



Close to the Scott establishment is the 

 model plant of Peter Wagner, where 

 some 30,000 square feet are devoted to 

 ferns, palms and decorative plants. One 

 of the new houses, as an exhibition sec- 

 tion, is as neatly maintained as the best 

 retail conservatory on a fashionable New 

 York avenue. 



Alfred Zeller, on Clarkson street. Flat- 

 bush, has his usual fall display of plants. 

 The Otaheite orange is, as usual, one of 

 his specialties. This is his last year in 

 this section of his holdings, he having 

 sold the property to Louis Schmutz, who 

 will take possession in the spring. Its 

 value is $25,000. 



The auction sales continue every Tues- 

 day and Friday. Retail florists have been 

 recent visitors, much to the gratification 

 of the persuasive auctioneers. With three 

 sources of supply and some excellent 

 decorative stock, local and imported, the 

 retailer has his innings. 



Among the novelties this fall another 

 new fern, the Giatrasii, is making a bid 

 for patronage. It looks like a cross be- 

 tween Boston and Scottii, and is a won- 

 derfully strong and compact grower, and 

 even in the bench develops into a plant 

 of shapeliness and beauty. 



H. C. SteinhoflF, of West Hoboken, 

 finds the city encroaching fast on his 

 property, running a new street through 

 its center and pushing him out to his 

 country farm up the state, where he has 

 just built another new greenhouse and 

 where he has ample room for a big, 

 modern plant, which will come to com- 

 pletion rapidly. But a portion of the 

 present glass area and the oflBce building 

 and old homestead will be retained. Some
