SOUTH ROY ALSTON, MASS. 



E. B. Hanson's model cucumber 

 houses, three in number, are now com- 

 pleted and plants are being set out. The 

 buildings are on an elevation, with noth- 

 ing to obstruct the sun. The frames are 

 of iron, with cement walls, and suffi- 

 ciently wide to allow a team to be driven 

 through the center to supply or remove 

 the soil, and many modern conveniences 

 have been adopted, among which are au- 

 tomatic alarm bells, connected by elec- 

 tricity with the residence of the pro- 

 prietor, the superintendent and the 

 boiler room, so that in case of the tem- 

 perature of the houses rising or falling 

 so as to endanger the plants, an alarm is 

 sounded and the bells continue to ring 

 until attention is called to the condition 

 of the house. There is also a tell-tale as 

 to the condition of the moisture in the 

 air, and thermometers set in the beds 

 show the temperature of the soil. 

 Twenty-eight pipes, three inches in 

 diameter, in each house, furnish heat; 

 the total length would exceed three miles 

 of pipes. Two of these houses are 30x 

 150 feet. The other is shorter, on ac- 

 count of being used as a propagating 

 house early in the season; afterwards 

 plants are transplanted and grown as in 

 the other houses. The boiler house is 

 20x55 feet, with cement walls and floor, 

 and contains a boiler of 100 horse-power 

 for heating. Water is furnished from 

 an artesian well 105 feet deep, which 

 yields 20,000 gallons a day, pumped 

 either by windmill or gasoline engine, 

 as occasion requires, into a 5,000-gallon 

 tank. The cement chimney to the boiler 

 house is fifty feet high, thirty-six inches 

 in diameter, and adds to the attractive- 

 ness of the plant. 



CARNATIONS

 large flower and exceptional keeping qualities. It is in perfect 

 health, and has that early and free flowering habit thjit character- 

 izes a paying commercial variety. $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 

 1000. 



PINK DELIGHT. Clear waxy shell pink. The variety that 

 won over Enchantress at the A. C. S. meeting, Indianapolis,
