Clticas (EL Boddington Co., 
New YorK 
This energetic firm of seed, bulb and 
plant dealers has recently purchased a piece 
of property at Sparkill, N. Y., for the 
further development of its constantly in¬ 
creasing business. It is but a year ago 
when we mentioned the fact that Clucas 
& Boddington Company had moved from 
its Fourteenth street store to more commod¬ 
ious warerooms, at the corner of Jane and 
'Greenwich streets. The volume of business 
done during the past year has shown a great 
increase over that of previous years, and has 
practically demonstrated that the move to 
the present location was not made any too 
soon. The store and warehouse room is 
utilized to the fullest capacity, and it would 
have been next to impossible to have hand¬ 
led the firm’s present extensive trade had 
the change in question not been made. 
It is some months since the firm decided 
that a nursery and trial grounds would be a 
useful adjunct, and at last the concern has 
been fortunate enough to secure the Worth 
estate at Sparkill, N. Y. This property 
consists of upward of thirty acres of choice 
farm land, with two dwellings and many 
serviceable outbuildings erected thereon. 
Some 50,000 gladiolus have already been 
planted; and a regular nursery for herba¬ 
ceous plants will be established as fast as 
time will permit. 
Deciduous and evergreen nursery stock will be added when the season for planting such stock arrives. 
There is a beautiful residence on the estate, and this will be the home of Mr. Clucas and his family after July 1. 
NOTHING SUCCEEDS LIKE SUCCESS 
Since moving to larger warehouses, little more than a year ago, we have this Spring found 
it necessary to extend our business by adding a 
NURSERY AND GREENHOUSE DEPARTMENT 
We have purchased upward of thirty acres of the best nursery land in the vicinity of New 
York, located at Sparkill, Rockland County, N. Y. 
Upon this tract, we are now growing a large and varied stock of the most desirable Roses, 
Flowering Shrubs, Conifers, Ornamental Trees and Herbaceous Plants. 
More than fifty thousand Roses, together with large quantities of Peonies, Hardy Phlox, 
and other herbaceous plants are now growing there. Bay Trees and Clipped Box and Yews 
will be among our specialties.
