host. He presents his friends to the 

 manager, W. E. Fowler, and gives them 

 the freedom of Morton. 



The progressive management of the 

 Highland Rose Co. has made many 

 changes in the past year. Old varieties 

 have been discarded, new varieties 

 planted and a large greenhouse is being 

 remodeled. The principal range con- 

 tains about 18,000 rose plants. One- 

 third are Ophelia, carried over. The re- 

 maining two-thirds are divided between 

 Premier, Columbia, Butterfly and Pil- 

 grim, all freshly started. They looked 

 extremely well. The second range is 

 planted with Columbia, now producing 

 fine blooms, and Double Killarney. There 

 is also a good house of Asparagus plu- 

 mosus nanus. The house which has 

 been remodeled has concrete sides, 

 fresh supports and has been painted and 

 reglazed. This house is planted with 

 Ophelia. 



It was unanimously agreed by the 

 party as it returned to town Wednesday 

 afternoon, September 28, that the time 

 had been greatly enjoyed.
