THE GARDEN MAGAZINE 



July, 1914 



An up-to-date home 



deserves an up-to-date 



refrigerating plant 



The old-fashioned ice-box has no more 

 right in a fine, modern home than an 

 obsolete heating system. Let us de- 

 monstrate to you the sanitary features 

 and other advantages of the 



JhM System of 

 Refrigeration 



(Using the A-S Machine) 



Unlike the damp, ice-cooled refrigerator, the 

 low, dry temperature made possible by this 

 system prevents the breeding of disease germs 

 in the refrigerator. Foods also last longer than 

 when cooled with ice and have a better flavor. 

 The home that is equipped with the J-M System 

 is independent of the ice supply at all seasons, 

 and always enjoys a bountiful supply of pure 

 ice for table use. 



Lastly, this system puts an end to the dirt and 

 muss of the ice man. 



Most economical system on the market, and 

 different from all others. No ammonia or 

 fumes of any kind. Absolutely safe. Machine 

 runs by electricity or any other power. Simple 

 in operation.

the terraces, the pool with its fine groups of statuary 

 and seats, the Sicilian garden, the orangery, the 

 great walks with their fountains and surrounding 

 statues, the court at the Picture Gallery, and 

 Charlottenhof , now an Italian villa, and surrounded 

 by beautiful grounds. This wonderful garden has 

 two great rivals, each possessing a different type of 

 beauty — Kew Gardens (London) and Versailles. 



Schwetzingen (6 miles south of Heidelberg, by 

 rail; open to the public daily). — This striking 

 garden of 117 acres was laid out in the French style, 

 about 1750, for the Grand Duke of Baden, who had 

 it embellished with beautiful statues, temples, 

 fountains, pools, and canals, and a Turkish villa 

 of unusual interest. To-day the garden is in a sad 

 state of neglect. 



Herrenhatjsen (Suburbs of Hanover; open 

 to the public). — This interesting old garden is in 

 the French style, and while it is not well kept, it is 

 well preserved, and still has many features of 

 beauty. It was laid out about 1760 with great 

 trimmed hedges of oak, shady avenues, excellent 

 statuary, fountains, and pools, a cascade of unusual 

 design, and a terrace, called the "terrace of the 

 dancers," from the statues of female dancers that 

 adorn it. This is the ancestral home of the reigning 

 family of England, once kings of Hanover. 



Wilhelmshohe (Suburbs of Cassel, which is 90 

 miles north of Frankfort-on-the-Main; open to the 

 public). — This great park was first laid out in the 

 French style, but was altered to the landscape style 

 about 1815. There are many fine trees, and plea- 

 sant walks and drives from which charming views 

 may be had of the city lying in the valley below. 



The one striking feature at Wilhelmshohe is the 

 great cascade, 200 feet high, at the top of which 

 stands a great tower 300 feet high, capped with a 

 giant Hercules 20 feet in height. This feature is all 

 that remains of the formal gardens. 



Karlsruhe (Open to the public). — The Schloss 

 Garten, or Palace Garden was laid out in 1755. 

 The garden at the front of the palace is carefully 

 and .beautifully kept, while part of the great formal 

 garden in the rear of the palace has been converted 

 into a park in the landscape style. The other 

 portion still retains the radiating walks of the formal 

 style. 



Linderhof (8 miles from Oberammergau [car- 

 riages], which is 62 miles south of Munich; open 

 daily to the public from May 15th to Oct. 16th). — 

 The garden at Schloss Linderhof is an excellent 

 example of the Italian style, in a purely Italian 

 setting. It was built for King Ludwig II of Ba- 

 varia in 1878. The arrangement of the terraces, 

 trellises, temples, statuary, fountains cascade, and 

 foliage features make this garden the most charming 

 example of the Italian style to be found in Germany. 



There are many schloss gartens and parks laid 

 out in the English style all over Germany that are 

 most instructive, such as Schloss Garten, Stuttgart; 

 Schloss Garten, Mannheim; Schloss Garten, Olden- 

 berg; English Garden, Munich; Palm Garden, 

 Frankfort; Tier Garten, Berlin; Hofgarten, Dussel- 

 dorf; Berger Park, Bremen; Masch Park, Hanover. 

 Many formal gardens in France and Germany were 

 changed to the landscape style in the first half of the 

 19th century and are to-day beautiful parks.

Two New Plants 



The Society of American Florists and Ornament- 

 al Horticulturists gives notice of the following reg- 

 istration of new plants: 



By Peter Henderson & Company, New York City, 

 a "sport" from the geranium Double General 

 Grant. Habit and foliage same as parent, flowers 

 deep salmon; name, General Funstan. 



By the United States Nursery Co., Roseacres, 

 Miss., a sport from the climbing American Beauty. 

 Identical with the parent in growth, foliage and 

 general appearance, except the color, which is a 

 deep, pure pink. The variety is very floriferous, 

 and the flowers maintain their color until the pet- 

 als fall; name, Climbing Pink American Beauty. 



The Gulf Coast Horticultural Society 



The growers along the Gulf Coast, interested in 

 the culture of Satsuma oranges particularly and 

 also in certain lines of truck growing, have recently 

 organized the Gulf Coast Horticultural Society. 



Its territory will embrace a narrow belt along the 

 coast including Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, and 

 portions of Florida. The first meeting was held 

 about the 17 th of April with good attendance and 

 the movement launched, and a second meeting was 

 held on April 24th to complete the organization. 

 Alabama has a flourishing State Horticultural 

 Society and this movement is in no sense intended 

 to be antagonistic to, or in conflict with, the State 

 Society. 



New York Flower Show, 1915 



Arrangements are being made for the third annual 

 spring flower show in New York City to open at 

 the Grand Central Palace March 17th, next year. 

 Mr. F R. Pierson is again chairman of the Com- 

 mittee, and Mr. John Young, secretary and business 

 manager. The successful events of this year and 

 of last year have abundantly demonstrated that 

 the metropolis will respond to a flower show that 

 is worth while.
