NEW CASTLE. IND. 



Notes of Local Growers. 



f 



Most all of the growers here have all 

 their season's work completed. "Weiland 

 & dinger have most of their carnations 

 housed. They are in first-class condi- 

 tion. This firm grows most all of its 

 stock in the field, with the best results. 

 Their roses are also in good condition. 



The Benthey-Coatsworth Co. grows al- 

 most all old tea roses, having given up 

 Beauties last season. Their Kichmonds 

 are in fine shape. 



William Dittmann's new houses are 

 the largest in town, and are fine. They 

 are built high, and get all the light 

 possible. They are planted to Beauties, 

 which are in excellent condition. His 

 old range is planted in Brides and 

 Maids, and these also are in fine shape. 



At Heller Bros.' everything is in the 

 usual fine shape. This firm has the 

 largest range of glass in town, over 

 250,000 feet of glass. Their Beauties 

 are in excellent condition and are al- 

 ready producing 36-inch stems. Their 

 Bride, Maid, Eichmond, Chatenay and 

 Killarney are in the pink of condition, 

 and are sure to bring bountiful crops 

 the coming season. They have two 

 houses of second-year Bichmonds that 

 promise great results. 



This firm also has a large mail order 

 business. Although they have been in 

 this business only a few years, they have 

 built up a fine trade with all parts of 

 the country. At present they have over 

 350,000 roses growing in the field, and 

 possibly another 200,000 young propa- 

 gated plants under glass. Among the 

 latter we noticed a batch of over 6,000 

 of the new rambler Lady Gay, which 

 has created such a sensation everywhere. 

 It is a vast improvement over Dorothy 

 Perkins. 



Their 25,000 carnations are grown in 

 the house all summer, Mr. Heller claim- 

 ing they get much better stock, and 

 earlier, than by growing in the field. 

 They have all the standard sorts, with 

 several promising seedlings and im- 

 ported varieties. Queen and Bountiful 

 are grown for white, but the firm likes 

 Queen the better. One house of Lawson 

 is in fine condition, also two houses of 

 Enchantress. A visit to this interest- 

 ing establishment is time well spent. 



H. B. 



Utica, Mich. — On account of ill 

 health, C. B. Kidd has decided to dis- 

 continue his business here. 



Beaver, Pa.— W. S. Kidd has just 

 completed an addition 9x60 feet to his 

 greenhouses. He will use the space for 

 ferns and palms. He will begin work 

 soon on an extension to his potting-shed.
