A BUSINESS PROPOSITION. 



All the talk of there being enough 

 glass to supply the demand for cut flow- 

 ers, particularly in the middle west, sim- 

 mers down to a plain business proposi- 

 tion. One man of experience who had 

 not previously owned his own place fig- 

 ured it out that by growing Beauties 

 there were wages, interest on the invest- 

 ment and a good profit to be had. So 

 last spring he put up a range covering 

 16,500 square feet. He used a little over 



400 boxes of glass because he built high 

 houses and spared no reasonable expense. 

 The result was that his place stood him a 

 little over $9,000, but he had room for 

 some more houses and heating capacity 

 to double his plant. He benched 8,000 

 Beauty plants. There are growers who 

 talk about returns of $1.25 a plant, but 

 this man's experience leads him to count 

 on from 70 to 90 cents as the return in 

 an ordinary season with $1 in an excep- 



tionally successful year. At 70 cents it 

 will give $5,600 for expenses and profit, 

 and at 90 cents $7,200, which should make 

 it a good business proposition. Interest 

 on the money invested may be figured at 

 $540. Expenses, of course, will vary with 

 the severity of the winter. The net ought 

 to pay for an addition to the glass next 

 year which can be operated at little addi- 

 tional expense and will still further im- 

 prove the investment for a careful, capa- 

 ble grower.
