Baltimore County Has a Burbank-He
Produces New Flowers and Plenty of
Them.-There are a number of gardens in the
vicinity of Baltimore which are well worth
while, but there is probably none so extensive
.c.-1 I.nk IS
at Glyndon, says the Baltimore Nea0s. Mr..
Atkinson is not florist by profession. He is
one of the agents for the North German Lloyd
Steamship Company, but out of business hours
he is an amateur flower grower of real ability
and be has even tried his hand at crossing
flowers and producing new blossoms with
great success. He may, indeed, be called the
Burbank ofMaryland.
The garden at his pretty home at Glyndon
covers IL acres OF ground. 1t is not all like
those which are carefully laid out by land
scape gardeners. There are no round beds, no
geometrical designs, no graveled walks no
prim borders. II is an old fashioned garden
a mass of riotous color and with no carefully
marked boundaries. The roses are nearest the
roadway, and there are rows upons rows Of
bushes-about 1,500 in all. One long furrow
is planted with climbing roses, which grow
over trellises in wonderful profusion, and
are at this time mass of crimson or pink
flowers.
At the roots of these bushes are great beds of
purple and yellow faced pansies, which sway
smilingly in the wind. Following the climb.
ing roses are rows of other sorts-white,
yellow, pink, red, tall and short, sweet and
scentless.
After the rose garden comes part-a small
part-of the gladioluses, for gladioluses are
Mr.. Atkinson's special He has 10000 of
these plants, and about the first of August
thew will be in flower, and the effect, as they
Re will hou m ho kf,
be appreciated.
Lilies Of the valley jostle the gladioluses.
Never were so many of these beautiful flowers
seen in this community as bloom gloriousIy
in the garden in the spring. Mrs. Atkinson,
who takes as much pride in the flowers as her
husband, says that she has picked in single
morning enough lilies of the valley to make IL
or Is bouquets as large as bride could carry.
And then there are peonies l-bush after
bush covered with great blossoms in all the
tints and growing in such profusion as to stag
ger the ordinary observer.
The irises are in blossom now. There are
quantities of these also and Mr.. Atkinson sent
to Japan for the seed. They are in shades
which range from white with lavender tips,
through all the shades of lavender and dark
red to a velvety purple that is almost black.
There are dozens of these in the garden, rows
of giant hydrangeas and profusion Of sweet
peas. Among the curiosities are two cherry
trees from Japan. These very celebrated trees
bear blooms which resemble small, pink roses,
are very double and exhale distinct, but deli
cate odor of tea.
A large row of English walnut trees bear all
the nuts which the family can use during the
winter, and in the part given over to vegetables
there is row of French artichokes, the sort
very seldom seen in this part of the country,
in which the edible part is the flower, thistle
like growth.
1t takes constant labor on the part of three
men to keep this lovely garden in the delightful
condition which Mr.. Atkinson likes-a condi-
ton which gives the impression of q sort of
luxuriant wildness, which is perfect art.
The flowers have been so selected that there
is always. somewhere in the garden mass of
bloom. Peonies follow lilies Of the valley,
roses and irises peonies, and so on. until in
August the $50. 900 gladioluses burst into bios.
som and make the whole place gay.
Here and there in the garden are long bord.
ers of currant or raspberry bushes which add
their more material charms to those of the
flowers, and are almost of as much picturesque
| value.
