than this single sentence of Mr. Feurs- 

 tenberg? The words were spoken with 

 an earnestness that left no doubt of 

 their sincerity, an earnestness that 

 spoke volumes of the history of the 

 great range of glass at North Wales. 



The greenhouses of the Florex Gar- 

 dens at North Wales are planted to 

 roses; carnations, snapdragons, sweet 

 peas and asparagus are grown in smaller 

 quantities. The expression, "smaller 

 quantities, ' ' is used relatively, for noth- 

 ing is grown in what most of us would 

 consider a small quantity at North 

 Wales. The place is big in every sense 

 of the word. There are nineteen varie- 

 ties of roses under cultivation. They 

 all look well, remarkably well. 



Mr. Feurstenberg led the way through 

 the houses, pointing out this and. that 

 variety with his rose cane which evi- 

 dently is intended for that purpose and 

 to correct Eugene, as he playfully re- 

 marked to Mr. Bernheimer. Mr. 

 Feurstenberg believes the gem of the 

 rose collection is his September Morn. 

 The rose is considered of rare value; 

 the name is considered too long, so let 

 us call it Morn. There are 11,000 Morns 

 at the Florex Gardens. Some of the 

 beds are in full crop, the substantial 

 Enchantress-pink buds making so 

 lovely a picture that Mr. Feurstenberg 

 solemnly proposed a quarter entrance 

 fee as a trifling return for value re- 

 ceived. 



Prima Donna comes next in point of 

 interest. Donna is brighter in color 

 this season than of yore; in fact, the 

 contrast between Morn and Donna is 

 striking. Champ Weiland, with its un- 

 mistakable Killarney resemblance, is 

 on trial. So is Pink Ophelia, bearing 

 the family likeness and a certain re- 

 semblance to good old Maryland. Mr. 

 Feurstenberg 's heart warms toward 

 their own sport of White Killarney, a 

 sport that blooms more freely at the 

 Florex Gardens than Waban, white. 

 Their sport in pink Mavourneen was 

 out of crop. Daily Mail, or Mme. Her- 

 riot, is prized for its lovely color. 

 Sweetheart is prized for its association 

 and its strong habit of growth. 



Next to the roses, interest centers in 

 the wonderful new barn. It is fireproof, 

 built of hollow tile, and so perfect that 



bigger profits, better baskets

the blooded Holsteins can turn on their 

 own fresh water. There you have it — 

 the dairy, planned for its fertilizer by- 

 products, has the latest mechanical im- 

 provements. There is a little basin, 

 which, when pressed by the cow's nose, 

 wells forth with a flow of fresh water. 

 It ceases the moment thirst is satisfied. 



There is the milking machine, now dis- 

 carded, the separator, the cooling de- 

 vice, the silo and what-not-else besides. 

 It is wonderful. 



Eeturning to the greenhouses, there 

 is an interesting arrangement of double 

 crops, with pompons and peas alternat- 

 ing. The pompons are harvested about
