A MILLIONAIRE NURSERYMAN. 



The Port Arthur Nursery Co., of Port 

 Arthur, Tex., is just completing its 

 range of greenhouses. Concrete has 

 been used for the foundations of the 

 houses and for the walls under the 

 glass. All the walls and the sides of 

 the solid beds are also made of con- 

 crete. The houses are all high-light. 

 The materials for the houses and also 

 for the heating plant are from a 

 prominent Chicago firm. 



The nursery company has secured the 

 services of George Doner, formerly of 

 Vieksburg, Miss., who will be in charge 

 iif the greenhouse department.

BAR HARBOR, ME. 



Mrs. John S. Kennedy has the largest 

 of the many fine shore estates in Bar 

 JIarbor, an<l it is kei)t beautifully, the 

 superintendent, W. T. Burton, being a 

 first-class gardener in every branch. 

 There are quite a numl)er of green- 

 houses here, containing splendidly 

 grown gra]>es, figs, peaches, nectarines 

 and melons. In the ]ilant house, tuber- 

 ous begonias, .\llamanda Williamsi, 

 gesneras. achimenes, fuchsias, Lilium 

 speciosum and auratum and gloriosas 

 showed extremely good culture. The 

 Italian garden here is a most charming 

 one. Clematis .Tackmani was flower- 

 ing beautifully along the backs of the 

 side borders. Actinidias are used con- 

 siderabl.v for ]iergola effects; in fact, 

 this is the most pojnilar climber at Bar 

 Harbor, never winter-killing, and it 

 stands the salt spray better than any 

 other climber. Along the side borders 

 of the Italian garden, Aconitum Napel- 

 lus and bicolor, physostegias, phloxes, 

 mostlv pure white, various liliums, 

 Astilbe Davidi and Chrysanthemum 



A BLUE ROSE 



The Greatest 



Rose Novelty 



of the Century 



It flowered with us this sea- 

 son and was greatly admired. 



The New Rambler (Violet Bine), hailed 

 by the German roae growers as (he 

 forerunner of a genuinely cornflower 

 bine roae, is a seedling of Crimson 

 Rambler, very vigorous and hardy, and 

 free blooming.

maximum King Edward VII were fine. 

 Other beds contained pink verlienas, 

 snapdragons, pentatemous, heliotropes 

 and other varieties, all splendidly 

 flowered and growing with a reckless 

 aJiandon imjjossible in inland districts 

 or farther south. 



A. Vj. Chilman, at .Iosei»h T. Bowen 's, 

 Hull's Cove, always has something good 

 to sliow to visitors. Fine batches of 

 gloxinias, Francoa ramosa. Campanula 

 pyramidalis, tuberous begonias, achim- 

 enes and sterptocarpus were noted; 

 also large pots or tubs of blue and 

 wliite agapanthus and Lilium specio- 

 sum. In the flower garden, Verbena 

 Bink Perfection was beautiful, also the 

 |)ink petunia. Bar Harbor Beauty. Gla- 

 dioli were certainly fine. We never 

 saw these so well grown as at Bar 

 Harbor. All the estates here grow col 

 lections of the best named sorts. Sal 

 piglossis, pentstemons, Gilia coronojii- 

 folia. Duke Zeppelin and Lafayette 

 licgonias, sweet j)eas of superb qualify, 

 with 12-inch to 15-inch stems and big 

 Mowers, hybrid tea roses, riirysantlie- 

 nium King Edward, perennial phloxes, 

 Shirley poppies and a host of other 

 summer annuals and perennials were 

 all a complete sheet of bloom. Rarely 

 have we seen tuberous begonias, zonal 

 geraniums and blue lobelias flourishing 

 as here. With the beautiful, verdant 

 lawns, they were strongly I'eininiscent 

 of Great Britain.
