city. This estimate does not include the
vast number of small growers who hawk
their products about the streets. This
business has been marked by steady an.
nual growth for several years The sales
this year to date are estimated to be twen-
ty-five per cent greater than at the same
early season in previous years. The rapid
growth of Horticulture is in great part eX-
planned by the fact that, for the past few
years, the middle classes, and even we'll.
to do people, have had no means with
which to beautify their homes in expensive
ways. Necessity has required the study
of economy in tastes. The business of
some of the foriculturists near New
York has grown to enormous dimensions
One firm has over two acres under glass,
and their shipments by express average "a
ton and half day the year round. The
principal products Of this firm during the
year include 125,000 to 0,U00 roses,
60, 900 to $4,000 verbenas, $4,000 pansies,
$4,000 netunias, 10000 daisies, geran-
NUNS, carnations, ETC., and a thousand
varieties of foliage plants. There is
another establishment equally large, and
after these two come a score at least, each
having from half an acre to three times as
much under glass. There are about 100
fiOricuiturists whose business is of smaller
dimensions. They produce almost entirely
for the spring trade, not having green.

FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON telegram of the 14th says
8 the Secretary of War has received from
Drexel, Morgan 81 Co., of New York, propo-
sition to furnish sufficient means, at five or
six per cent interest per annum, to pay the
army from the 1st of July until the Army
Appropriation bill is passed, but the Secre-
tary declined the offer on the ground that
he cannot enter into such a contract with
out violation of law. He, however, favOrs
the plan to SO advance their pay
to officers of the army, but desires it
understood that the War Department can
have nothing to do with the transaction,
which must be purely private matter be-
tween the officers and the firm. He ex-
presses his Willingness to do all in his power
10 aid such an arrangement, provided he can
do SO without violating the law, and has re-
fcrred the question to the Attorney General
rs to what extent he can take part in the
transaction"
