Greenhouses and ReSiience of William A. Kintzele, at Michigan City, Ind. 



KINTZELE SHOWS SU0C5ESS. 



W. A. Kintzele has been in business 

 at Michigan City, Ind., for many years. 

 That they have been prosperous years, 

 no one can doubt, for just two years 

 ago Mr. Kintzele rebuilt his range south 

 of the city, putting up Moninger bolted 

 houses of iron-frame construction, 27x 

 250 feet. Then, the following year, he 

 started on the erection of a dwelling of 

 a fairly pretentious character and of 

 good size. The range and the house 

 are both shown on this page. 



Mr. Kintzele grows a general line of 

 stock, in which he does a wholesale and 

 retail business. He at one time con- 

 ducted a store in Michigan City, but 

 disposed of it in 1910 in order to de- 

 vote his whole time to the greenhouses, 

 where his success has kept him busy. 



HAYDEN'S NEW HOUSE. 



In addition to installing a complete 

 new heating system throughout the en- 

 tire range, M. F. Hayden, at Wilming- 

 ton, Del., has just finished building an- 

 other greenhouse, 42x100 feet. It is 

 of King iron-frame construction, of the 

 pipe rafter type, supported by two runs 

 of posts, with cross ties and cross braces. 

 This is the type of house that has also 

 been erected at the Florex Gardens, 

 North Wales, Pa., and by the Montgom- 

 ery Co., Hadley, Mass. An interior view 

 of the new house is given herewith. 



NEW YORK. 



The Market. 



Afte^ a week of storm, humidity and 

 summer dullness, more cheerful condi- 

 tions have developed. The demand, ex- 

 cept for asters and gladioli, is about 

 equal to the supply and apart from the 

 flood of these the shipments, especially 

 of roses, are readily absorbed at better 

 prices than have of late prevailed. 



Carnations have passed for the 

 present.
