ITHACA, N. Y. 



A vegetable gardening train was run 

 over the New York Central lines last 

 week. Although farm trains have been 

 run by various railroads in different 

 states, this is the first train ever sent 

 out for the vegetable gardening inter- 

 ests alone. It consisted of two cars, 

 one containing an exhibit of vegetables, 

 greenhouse material and models, seeds, 

 model hotbed, potted plants, implements, 

 cultivators, seed drills, charts, photo- 

 graphs, publications, etc. 



The train was in charge of F. S. 

 Welch, agricultural representative of 

 the railroad, and Prof. A. C. Beal, of 

 the department of horticulture. Stops 

 were made at Newburgh, Kingston, Cats- 

 kill, Coxsackie, Albany, Schenectady and 

 Troy. The stops were usually for one 

 day, but Catskill and Coxsackie were 

 visited in one day. Lectures were given 

 on greenhouse construction, planting 

 home grounds and school gardens, by 

 Professor Beal; on growing early plants, 

 planting and transplanting vegetables, 

 planning gardens and home gardens, by 

 A. E. Wilkinson; on intensive vegetable 

 growing, irrigation, harvesting, pack- 

 ing and marketing, market gardening 

 and growers' organizations by Paul 

 Work. 



There was a large attendance, and 

 great interest was manifested in the 

 exhibits and the discussions. 



Bockville Center, N. Y.— The George 

 T. Schuneman Co., formerly at Baldwin, 

 N. Y., is now in business here. Mr. 

 Schuneman makes a specialty of the 

 growing of violets and has won many 

 prizes for his exhibits of these flowers. 



NEW CARNATION 

 BENORA 



Strong rooted cuttings 

 ready for immediate delivery 



$6.00 per 100 

 $50.00 per 1000 



This variegated carnation, sent out by Mr. 

 Peter Fisher last season, is the finest varie- 

 gated variety, and one off the very best car- 

 nations off any color, ever sent out. 



It has immediately attained a commanding posi- 

 tion among the very choicest sorts, and will add to 

 Mr. Fisher's already enviable list of introductions. 

 It is indispensable. 



It is a very early and free bloomer, matures 

 quickly, making vejy perfect flowers of the largest 

 size on long stems; does not split the calyx.
