A visit TO the green house and gardens OF
Mr.. F. NJ. Pennock would surprise our cit
liens with the results which have been ac-
complished in a few months. Here are
four thousand square feet in glass houses,
with basement heated throughout by the
most complete steam aud hot water appli-
ances, with a convenient office supplied
with city water for spraying plants. The es-
tablishment is chiefly devoted to the grow
ing Of carnations for bloom and plants,
Gala and Easter lilies, and lilies of the val
lev Hyacinths and narcissus are also ex-
tensively grown for winter flowers. Some
Of these Mr.. Pennock has in pots, and is
prepared to supply at reasonable rates
Another feature OF the business IS the sup
ply Of all kinds of cut flowers and decora-
tions for funerals, weddings and other spe-
ciaI occasions, supplying what he does not
grow from leading city florists, at ruling
prices
Orders for flowers and for plants may be
left with Messrs. Light & Watson. In the
coming spring a full line Of bedding plants
will be supplied as we'll as ali kinds of veg
etable plants. It appears to b. Mr. Pen
nock's aim 70 build up permanent bust
uess FOR a.. sale Of flowers, plants, bulbs,
..,,s ..ui ornamental shrubs, and the trans
formation he has so quickly wrought IN
neglected field is an earnest Of the success
of che Charles Town Gardens.
Any of our distant subscribers desiring
ANYTHING in the above line will do well to
write TO Mr.. PennOck who ships flowers aud
plants, in good order, to distant points,
