 '"■'iibled at the Milwaukee Northern 

 |<"»iiinal, where a special car met and 

 tr.insported them to the greenhouses. 



' ho first houses inspected were those 

 '""taining Asparagus plumosus, with a 

 '•"^0 crop of asparagus seed. Next 

 ^^^'ij! a house of Asparagus Sprengeri 

 :j;'<l smilax, which were in fine shape. 

 ;.''f visitors then looked over twelve 



•a houses devoted to the growing of 

 '"ses. This section was particularly in- 

 ^ 'resting, as t^ere is a fine crop of the 

 ,;,'-uitifui Mrs. Charles Russell rose. 



"<^se houses contain an exceptionally 

 •|'ce lot of Prima Donna, as well as a 



"o showing of Ophelia. There is also 

 ', large assortment of the other .varic- 

 '«> and among these i^ a big lot of

The boiler equipmen A of this estab-

 There is a chimney 12^5 feet in height, 

 which provides a fine d" raft at all times. 

 The plant covers nearliy five acres and 

 has approximately 225,OC00 feet of glass. 



The Holton & HunUtel Co. also has 

 another plant in operatzsion, which, wl^ile 

 not as large ag the onos at Brown Deer, 

 is by no means, ^ sraal^l place. .
