SPRINGFIELD, ILL. 



■, The Growers' Specialty Co., a Spring- 

 field corporation, recently organized un- 

 der the laws of the state of Illinois, has 

 begun active work, at the corner of Wal- 

 nut street and the Baltimore & Ohio 

 Southwestern railway tracks, upon what 

 promises to be one of the largest green- 

 house plants in the state. Edward C. 

 Holzworth, president of the new corpor- 

 ation, has just returned from Cincinnati, 

 where he closed a contract with the 

 Greenhouse Structural Co. for the con- 

 struction of the iron framework for the 

 first five houses. The company con- 

 templates the erection, eventually, of 

 fifty houses, at an estimated average cost 

 of $2,000 each. 



About one-half of the plant will con- 

 sist of specially coristructed forcing 

 houses, for leaf lettuce, head lettuce, 

 radishes, tomatoes, peppers and other 

 vegetables. Another large section of the 

 houses will be used for the cultivation of 

 roses, carnations and various other flow- 

 ers. 



In addition to this, the company will 

 be one of the largest growers of mush- 

 rooms in the west, as the entire space 

 under the benches in the vegetable 

 houses, as well as 10,000 square feet of 

 other space, will be devoted to the pro- 

 duction of this fungns. 



The company now owns, clear of all 

 incumbrances, sufficient real estate to 

 accommodate the first twenty houses, 

 and has secured options on adjacent 

 property sufficient for thirty more. Two 

 large boilers are bought and paid for, 

 and a carload of glass is now stored on 

 the premises. 



Very little wood will be used in the 

 construction of the houses, the frame- 

 work being iron and the foundation and 

 side walls concrete, thus making the 

 buildings practically fireproof and re- 

 ducing the c«Bt for repairs. 



The concrete work for the houses now 

 under construction is being done by the 

 Springfield Sand & Cement Co., while 

 the iron framework is being supplied by 

 the Greenhouse Structural Co., of Cin- 

 cinnati. 



The present officers and directors of 

 the corporation are: Edward C. Holz- 

 worth, president and treasurer; F. W. 

 Lsney, vice-presideet, and S. A. Wight, 

 secretaiy, while among the stockholders 

 are such well-known men as Charles C. 

 StooJL of Beardstown, and in Springfield, 

 O. B; Caldwist, of tlje Johnston-Hatcher 

 Co.; C. H. Freita^, president of the 

 SpringfieU Sand & Cement Co.; B. M. 

 Perkins, of the Perkins Ice & Coal Co.; 

 B. T, Twlbott, W. J. Hoyt, and others of 

 equal prominence. 



MiNNiA^OLifi, Minn. — The Hiawatha- 

 Gardens Co. wfll erect another green- 

 house, 25x100 feet, and put in a new 

 heating plant. The firm w§l also build 

 a storage cellar, warehouse and new of- 

 fice, to care for the increased business.
