NEWS NOTES 



••• 



Binghamton, N. Y. — J. G. Brock, who 

 for the last three years has had charge 

 of the landscape work on the estates 

 of W. S. Kilmer, has opened offices, as 

 a landscape gardener, at 208 Press 

 building. He has had a life experience 

 in the profession. 



Grand Eapids, Mich.— The Wealthy 

 Avenue Floral Co. is planning to be- 

 gin the rebuilding of its greenhouses 

 as soon as the spring and early sum- 

 mer rush is over. The old houses, 

 which were erected one at a time as 

 the business expanded, will be replaced 

 with strictly modern structures. 



New Rochelle, N. T.— F. C. Hitch- 

 cock, at 39 Birch street, has forced 

 75,000 bulbs this season. The single 

 daffodils have done splendidly, but a 

 large proportion of the tulips have been 

 blind. "According to my experience 

 with bulbs," he says, "if they are 

 dried out and allowed to rest a month 

 or so before being planted, they force 

 much better." 



Sochester, N. Y. — Colin Ogston, gar- 

 dener at the Kimball conservatories, 

 has a type of Gypripedium insigne that 

 throws two flowers on a stem. A grand 

 lot of seedlings can be seen here, with 

 no two alike in beauty of marking and 

 coloring. Some especially fine IsBlias 

 were here seen in bloom, including L. 

 superbiens, Gouldiana, alba and Stella. 

 In carnations, Scarlet Glow is superior 

 here to Beacon, both in habit of growth 

 and quality of bloom. 



Ironton, O. — Weber Bros, have been 

 in business here for nine years and 

 have completely rebuilt the range. The 

 work of rebuilding has been done in a 

 most substantial manner and cement 

 construction has been used as largely 

 as possible. Even the gutters, as well 

 as most of the benches, are of concrete. 

 The range now comprises about 20,000 

 square feet of glass, and another house, 

 28x100, is in process of erection. The 

 contract has also been let for a new 

 office and workroom, to be built in the 

 spring. The members of the firm have 

 a feeling of great relief and satisfac- 

 tion, they say, when they compare the 

 present new and durable buildings with 

 "the old shacks" which they at first 

 owned.

This one we erected in Montreal. See how grace- 

 ful and attractive it is— how different from the usual 

 run of the "cut-and-dried" kinds you see hitched on 

 so many houses ! 

 U-Bar conservatories are not only attractive, but 

 Thisisthe U-Bar they are in every way practical. That's saying a lot. 

 — *he Bar Uut it is the U-Bar that makes them so. We are the only

 famous green- cQnstructlon is patented. Send for catalogue — it
