Edmond A. Harvey extended a cor- 

 dial invitation to visit him at his place 

 in Delaware county, where those fa- 

 mous carnations, sweet peas and mi- 

 gnonette are grown for the Leo Niessen 

 Co. It was a splendid November day, 

 not dull and dreary, as the melodra- 

 matic story writers love to say, but 

 one of those days when the crisp air 

 and bright sunshine make the two-mile 

 walk end all too soon. It was just be- 

 fore the close of the popular lunch 

 hour, giving a few minutes to enjoy the 

 landscape and a new tile house that 

 Mr. Harvey is building; silent testi- 

 mony to the success of his business 

 enterprise. While Mr. Harvey's father 

 and brother take a deep and active in- 

 terest in the greenhouses, this enter- 

 prise is more particularly his own. The 

 large farm is the special pride of his 

 brother, Evans Harvey. Alban Harvey 

 lends the weight of his name and coun- 

 cil to both enterprises, giving each of 

 the young men the advantages of a 

 father's help. 



The place is devoted to carnations, 

 sweet peas and mignonette. The carna- 

 tions occupy all but one house; there 

 are 40,000 plants on the benches, di- 

 vided among a few of the best varie- 

 ties. Winsor, planted in the tables in 

 Maj^, may be described as the standard 

 pink. Enchantress still has a limited 

 space at its command. Mrs. C. W. Ward 

 appears to be the coming pink; foliage, 

 flower and stem were all fine. White 

 Perfection stands almost alone among 

 the whites; Alma Ward is its sole com- 

 petitor. Mr. Harvey doubts whether 

 Alma Ward is free flowering with them. 

 The scarlets and reds are an important 

 class; Beacon, Victory and an undis- 

 seminated seedling of C. W. Ward 

 occupy considerable space, especially 

 the first two. The plan followed with 

 these reds is interesting, for here to-

matoes will be grown early next year. 

 Mr. Harvey says that the price of toma- 

 toes, though higher now than in the 

 spring, does not warrant a fall or a 

 winter crop. 



The new house built last summer and 

 fall is planted with sweet peas. Flor- 

 ence Denzer, a standard white for 

 winter blooming, constitutes about 

 twenty-five per cent of the stock; 

 Christmas Pink, about sixty per cent, 

 and Wallacea, the catchy name given 

 to that sterling lavender, Mrs. Alexan- 

 der Wallace, about fifteen per cent. 

 Some idea can be formed of the sweet 

 peas from the size of the house, 64 x 

 250, a vast affair, seemingly none too 

 high for the vigorous, long-legged peas 

 that are climbing skyward so rapidh'. 



Mignonette is given space in two of
