WESTEJILY, R. I. 



Charles Monroe, of New Haven, 

 Conn., who took possession last Decem- 

 ber of the big greenhouse range on 

 Beach street formerly owned by S. J. 

 Eeuter & Son, Inc., when it went into 

 receivership, has the reconstruction 

 work at the range well under way. 

 There are thirty-one greenhouses on the 

 ground and already more than. a third 

 of them have been stocked with roses, 

 sweet peas, chrysanthemums, aspara- 

 gus, ferns and numerous other kinds of 

 stock. 



After the Eeuter Co. went out of busi- 

 ness the range lay idle for several 

 months. Consequently there were many 

 repairs to be made, the greater contract 

 being to reglaze many of the houses. 

 Of the thirty-one houses a majority of 

 them are 35x200 feet and there is over 

 a quarter of a million panes of glass 

 in them. Much also had to be done to 

 the heating system, but now the re- 

 pairs are practically completed. 



Little has been known of the work 

 that has been going on at the green- 

 houses since Mr. Monroe took posses- 

 sion. At the range two days before 

 Easter over 28,000 sweet peas were cut 

 and disposed of. Three of the larger 

 houses are now used for growing sweet 

 peas, which are in their splendor. Two 

 more houses are being planted with 

 sweet peas, which will be ready for the 

 lioliday trade. 



Mr. Monroe is planning to have 150,- 

 000 chrysanthemum plants and already 

 two of the larger houses are growing 

 11,000 mums each. Two of the 200-foot 

 houses will be devoted to carnations and 

 21,000 plants have been started. Five 

 houses have been stocked with roses, 

 wliich already have furnished cuts. Two 

 greenhouses are producing asparagus 

 and ferns. 



A force of fifteen men is at work at 

 the range and the houses are being filled 

 with plants as rapidly as possible. 

 Within a few weeks the proprietor ex- 

 pects to have all of the houses benched 

 and producing, 



Mr. Monroe has been a retail florist 

 in New Haven for several years and 

 he promises within a short time to put 

 the old Renter range, one of the largest 

 in New England, in condition so that 

 it will have a larger output than ever 

 before. W. H. M. 



Anderson, Ind.— The old firm of B. H. 

 Klus & Son has been taken over by 

 William Klus. The Klus property con- 

 sists of three greenhouses. The business 

 will be extended.
