Ed JOURNAL :-On recent ramble
chanced to stop at Rochester. N. y, the
Floral 9 ty, ard called on James Wick. |
the great Florist of America. Mr.. Wick, ,
is very condescending, oblIging man,
and runs bus every half hour from his
ofn e on State Street to his gardens, two
miles out on Y st Avenue, for the accom-.
mediation Of visitors. Having rode out to
this paradise was perfectly delighted as
roamed over his acres of tritomas, ver-
benas, gladiolas, &C., &c. Also called on
Little & Hooker, Elwanger & Barry,
Frost & Co., Jones & Grover, all of whom
are extensive nurserymen. Found them
in the very midst Of the packing season.
These four firms will ship $50, 900 worth
of stock this Ill, all of which looked very
flne and cannot fail TO please their nu-
merous customers. Elwanger e Barry
have five acres of dwarf pears and will
ship over 800 barrels OF this delicious
fruit this season, at.$J0 per barrel, which
is a very remunerative Investment, being
81 900 per acre.
After few days among these scenes Of
| practical beauty, took the RS for Mag
ara Falls, arriving at +. NJ. and repaired
to hotel for dinner. While on my way,
