ready to be connected up. Butting up 

 against the boiler-shed, two new houses, 

 each 22x120 feet, and 7 feet high to the 

 gutters, will be built to take the place of 

 several old houses. It was at first in- 

 tended to grow roses in these houses, but 

 as the season is so far advanced, carna- 

 tions will take their place. A large shed 

 is also being torn down, to make way 

 for a driveway between the two ranges. 

 A house of La Detroit, planted after the 

 violets were thrown out, looked fine and 

 is bringing good returns. A house of 

 Kaiserin is bringing its third crop. More 

 violets will be grown for 1908 than for 

 some time. Mr. Klagge's early crop of 

 asters has been destroyed by stem-rot. 



By the time we reached the Breit- 

 meyers' large plant it was 5:30 (quitting 

 time), but' a glance through the houses 

 was suflScient to tfell us that the men have 

 not been idling. The rose and carnation 

 houses have a good start for next season. 

 One new house is being erected, which 

 will be devoted to violets. The Breit- 

 meyers are going more extensively into 

 violet growing the next season; about 

 35,000 will be planted. 



Leopold Mallast was tlie last man 

 visited. Mr. Mallast has but a small 

 place, compared with some others, but 

 what he has he certainly knows how to 

 handle. His Lawson and other carna- 

 tions, sent in last year, were second to 

 none on the market, while his violets 

 were by far the best around town. A 

 new dwelling is taking all of his spare 

 change at present — so he says.

 its work without trouble and annoy- 

 ance, saviDK its cost by the economy 

 in coal bills.
