Norwood. 



Cornelius van der Breggan was at 

 the door of the great rose-filled shed 

 to escort his visitor to Robert Craig, 

 who was working among the dracaenas. 

 Such drac«enas! Not strictLy speaking 

 an Easter plant, biit such glorious 

 stock as to deserve a space at the top. 

 Aurora, De Smetiana, Kelleriana and 

 a host of others, grown as I have never 

 seen them grown in this city before. 

 Passing, for the time, through the 

 crotons, pandanus, that wonderful Ficus 

 utilis, the tall areeas and the short 

 Teddy Juniors, we come to the gigan- 

 teum lilies, clean, well budded and well 

 timed, a fine lot of French hydrangeas 

 and a superb collection of roses. Some 

 are trained as umbrellas, some as 

 globes, and some as baskets. There 

 is the red Dorothy Perkins, much fa- 

 vored here; Tausendschon, Lady Gay 

 and Dorothy Perkins. AH are well 

 grown. 



Twenty Years at It. 



Edward Reid had been in the whole- 

 sale cut uower commission business 

 twenty years March 4. He commenced 

 business within half a square of his 

 present location, at 40 South Sixteenth 

 street, in the basement. Later he 

 moved to better quarters at 1526 Ran- 

 stead street and two years ago to his 

 present fine quarters at 1619-21 Ran- 

 stead street. Some of Mr. Reid's 

 growers have been shipping to him 

 since the day he commenced business 

 and some of his customers have been 

 entrusting their orders to him since 

 Easter, 1894. Mr. Reid puts his whole 

 heart into his business now, as he did 

 then. Stuart H. Miller has been with 

 Mr. Reid through nearly three-quarters 

 of his business career. 



Ontario Street. 



"People say my lilies and my spi- 

 raeas are the best they have seen; I 

 have a timing machine." So modestly 

 and facetiously Godfrey Aschmann de- 

 livered himself on a sunshiny after- 

 noon, the first day of spring. The 

 azaleas are in six of the best varieties 

 and form one of the main crops of the 

 place; they are good. Cinerarias were 

 fine, the colors just beginning to show 

 brightly. Hydrangeas, part French and 

 part Otaksa, were in fine time to harden 

 and color nicely. Of hyacinths. King 

 of the Blues, Grand Maitre, La Gran- 

 desse and Gertrude give purple blue, 

 white and pink, while in tulips Mu- 

 rillo, Tournesol, Couronne d 'Or and Rex 

 rubrorum all are doubles. In daflFodils, 

 Double Von Sion is used. Mr. Asch- 

 mann 's stock is evenly good and covers 

 all the popular sizes. His timing 

 machine clearly works well, as shown 

 by the few plants that are early or 

 late. His parting injunction to his 

 visitor was to put the juice into it. 

 Have I done sot 



Second and BristoL 



Aschmann Bros, claim that the 

 hustlers atill hustle. This claim is 

 borne out by the condition of the place. 

 It is filled with good stock, carefully 

 grown. Their spirseas are exception-

ally fine this year, as, too, are their 

 lilies. They have some good hydran- 

 geas and daisies. In roses they have 

 forced Beauties and Richmond success- 

 fully; both varieties are well filled 

 with buds, not too far advanced. The 

 azaleas are the pride of the place. 

 Four-fifths of them are Madame Van- 

 der Cruyssen, the balance in four good 

 sorts. They find this is the way people 

 want them and both brothers are good 

 judges of the market.
