talk by advising him to build and him
self attend to q small greenhouse. The
advice was accepted, and in very short
time the business man began to see that
it was good. Ills strength returned; his
sleep came back; his interest in his
greenhouse grew. AS it grew he took up
the study of botany. One day he was
advised to make shipment to Chicago
of some fine roses that he had grown I'M
der his glass. Their sale was instant
upon their arrival at the lake metropo-
lis, and in a short time the orders outran
the supply. Then more greenhouses were
built, trained gardener was engaged,
and last year, when the old gentleman,
whose life had been prolonged to so years
by his new found occupation, died, his
greenhouses numbered eight, and the an
nual net income therefrom had grown to
between So, 600 and $4,000. Many promi-
nent men of the day, who have not cared
to turn their love for flowers to CONNER
cial advantage, have retained their health
and vigor by hours daily spent among ia
vorite plants, conspicuous examples being
Charles y. Dana and the late Jay Gould.
The flower shows of these days have
come to be among the leading events of
the social season in all the large cities,
and those held this fall in New York,
Chicago and elsewhere have not been
less attractive or well attended than
their predecessors, notwithstanding the
financial depression of the present year.
The chrysanthemum is the ain stay of
the autumn exhibitions, as i the rose of
the spring shows, and at Dor Il the orchid
is prominent OF this most interesting
flower America boasts many noted pri-
vate collections. chief among which are
those of the estate of the late F. l.. Ames
of Boston, ErastUs Corning of Albany,
W. S. Kimball of Rochester, G.. CT. Roeb-
ling of Trenton, Henry Graves of Orange,
n. j.; Hicks Arnold of New York. II. II.
Hunnewell of Wellesley, Mass, and the

The expense to which some of these
fanciers go TO crafty their taste for rare
flowers is V cry great. The orchid hunt
er's adventures in the jungles of Asia
are as thrilling as those of the man who
goes to shoot tigers and lions and ele-
plants Some of the commercial grow
ers expend large sums and search the
ends of the earth for rarities in orna-
mental shrubs. The tree ferns, of which
a picture is given here, were brought at
heavy expense from Australia, where
they had been growing in the wilderness
for fully 700 or 500 years before they
were taken up and brought on a three
months journey half way round the
world TO be replanted under glass on the
slope of the Orange mountains.

come c.--Cr-. auu ircre - r region ~
the Orange mountains II New Jersey, 90
miles inland. where flower growing Is
by al odds the leading industry Of sew
eral towns. Roses, chrysanthemums,
orchids, carnations and violets are the
specialties there, and so advantageOusly
placed by Dame Nature are the suniit
southern slopes Of the hills that the
blooms produced are Of extraordinary
size and rare beauty.
It Is estimated by Mr.. Manda, whom /
have before quoted in this article, that
the various greenhouses between Morris
town and Orange, On the slopes Of the
Orange mountains, are rooted with
about 100 acres Of glass, and some idea
Of the extent Of the business done may
be obtained from the fact that during
tho rose season, which lasts from Oct.
10 May /, the daily shipment of buds
averaged last year not less than 20, 0O0.
Horticulture for profit in that locality
grew out Of the success that attended
the efforts Of the gardeners employed by
a number Of New York business men

and one Of the most extensive establish

NUNS and orchids, has been built up

Many of the cut flowers furnished to New
York are raised by growers in many out
lying towns, and this is also true of ev
cry big city. The lily of the valley, SO
popular this year, is almost entirely the
product Of small establishments.
Some Of the stories Of the rapid max
ing OF money by men who have under
taken tho cultivation and sale of flowers
are veritable romances Of business sue
cess. Here is one:
In the spring of 1882 a business man of
20, who was located in small town in
Ohio, was obliged, by reason Of the
failing strength that comes with old age,
to go TO his physician for advice. The
man of medicine looked his prospective
patient over and told him that it was not

er hOrIculturistS the increase since 1890
when figures were obtained by the census
bureau, has been much more rapid than
ever before. II is in some quarters, in
deed, held that tine volume of business
has doubled in the last three years.
In 1850 there were $50 establishments
in the United States devoted to the rails
ing of flowers, employing 16,S47 men
and / ,9J8 women. 1t cost about 81 ,O0O.-
GOO n year TO buy the coal burned in
maintaining n temperate heat III the
greenhouses, and their managers g.
pended about 81 .2jO GOO in advertising.
For postage on their catalogues, circu-
lars and business correspondence $780,
600 more was at that time expended an
nually, and the yearly sales of cut flow
ers and shrubs aggregated S26, 211 500. IL
The growth of Horticulture by private in
dividuals has grown in like proportions,
and the amount of money permanently
invested and annually expended IN this
direction must be enormous-greater in
deed in relation to the flowers grown
than in commercial Horticulture, where
the utmost possible economy of time,
money and space is scientifically applied.
The attention paid to flowers and orna-
mental shrubs by municipal authorities
has also increased materially. OF Amer
lean cities, Chicago probably spends
most money on flowers in the public
parks, while Boston's expenditures are
considered to be in the best taste. New
York is behind many cities in this re-
gard, although it's collection of trees in
Central park is notable and interesting
one
This increase IL the production of flow
ers has come of course in response to
popular demand-a demand that has I'M
doubtedly received much stimulus from
the constantly growing beauty and pro-
fusion of the blooms, for in some direc-
tons the florists of America are now the
most accomplished in the world. The
chrysanthemum, for instance, which is
a native OF Japan and was carefully cui-
tivated for many years in England before
any scientific attention was paid to it
here, is nowhere else produced in such
beauty as in the United States. This Is
also true of the carnation, and as for the
queen of flowers, the rose, the develop
ment here has distanced even the wonder
full roses of France, the American varie-
ties being the despair of rose growers in
every other land. Within the past few
years, in fact, the expectations of rare
plants and flowers from this country have
exceeded the imports, the excess this
year being very large.
With the increase in demand has come
a gradual elevation of taste, and the
gaudy carpet beds" at one time SO great
a fad, are being displaced by a much
saner, less obtrusive arrangement of
towering plants. There is no doubt that
this improvement IN taste has been great
" fostered by the botanical gardens at
Washington, Harvard university, Am
herst and Cornell and the Shaw gardens
at st. Louis. The growth of a love for
beautiful trees. closely allied to the love
of flowers, has been promoted largely by
the various arboreal collections of the
country, among which the Arnold ar
