NEW CASTLE, IND. 



Notes of Local Growers. 



Mo^t all of tlio jjrowcrs here have all 

 ilioir t^i'axin's work comiiK'teil. Weiland 

 & OlinjTfr liav.' most of tiieir carnations 

 hoiisoil. Tlu'V are in lirst-elass condi- 

 tion. This firm grows mi)st all of its 

 stock in the liehl, witli the best results. 

 Their roses are also in good condition. 



The Henthcy-Coatsworth Co. grows al- 

 most all old tea roses, having given np 

 Heauties lasl season. 'J'lieir Jxichmonds 

 .•ir<' in fine shape. 



William lUttmann's new houses are 

 the laruf^t in town, and are line. They 

 are Imill high, and get all the light 

 possible. They are jtlanted to lU'aiities, 

 which are in excellent condition. His 

 cild range is ](lanted in J^.rides and 

 Maids, and these also are in line shape. 



At Jleller Hros. ' everything is in the 

 usual fine shape. This firm has the 

 largest range of glass in town, over 

 L'oO.UOU feci of glass. Their Beauties 

 .•ire in excellent cunditidn and are al- 

 ready j)roilucing ;!()-inch stems. Their 

 Bride. Maid, Ivichmond, Chatenay and 

 Killarney aie in the pink of condition, 

 anil are' sure to bring bountiful crops 

 the coining season. Tiiey have two 

 houses of second-year Kichmouds that 

 promise great results. 



Tiiis firm also has a large mail order 

 business. Although they have been in 

 this busines.s only a few years, they have 

 built up a fine "trade with all parts of 

 the cimntry. At present they have over 

 :},")(). 0(N) roses growing in the field, and 

 possibly another l:0(),000 young propa- 

 gated plants under glass. Among the 

 latter we noticed a batch of over G,0()0 

 «if tlie new rambler T.ady Gay, which 

 has created such a sensation everywhere. 

 It is a vast improvement over Dorothy 

 Perkins. 



Their 125,000 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. 

 Tlicy iia\c all tin' standard >nit'<, 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.
