SOME BIG CUCUMBER HOUSES. 



The iSunny Brook Distillery Co., of 

 Louisville, Ky., which for some time 

 has made the growing of cucumbers a 

 part of its business, is now erecting 

 three huge greenhouses at Jacksonville, 

 Fla. One of the houses, indeed, will 

 be a mammoth affair, 114x400 feet, one 

 of the largest structures of the kind in 

 the world. Besides this house, there 

 will be two smaller ones, each 60x400 

 feet. 



It is the intention of the owners to 

 grow cucumbers exclusively, which are 

 to be shipped directly to the New York 

 market, for use in the most fashionable 

 cafes and restaurants of the metropo- 

 lis. The Sunny Brook distillery has 

 for some time been operating plants of 

 this character in all parts of the United 

 States, and it is said to be the inten- 

 tion of the company to consoHdate all 

 of its plants at Jacksonville. 



The construction, as well as the man- 

 agement of the plant when completed, 

 will be under the able direction of 

 R. L. Chamberlain, who formerly had 

 charge of the company 's greenhouses 

 in Grand Rapids, Mich. He has had 

 wide experience in this line of work. 

 The smaller greenhouses are nearly 

 completed, and work on the large one 

 will begin at once. It is expected that 

 the entire plant will be completed by 

 the middle of November. 



A large two-story building has been 

 constructed, to be used for a packing 

 house and for offices, and the plant will 

 be modern and up-to-date in every 

 detail. 



The plant is to be known as the 

 Sunnv Brook Gardens. 



MANUEE FOR LETTUCE. 



I should like to know what fertilizer 

 can be used in place of cow manure for 

 bench-grown lettuce, here in southeast- 

 ern Michigan. A. A. F. & S. 



If you cannot procure cow manure 

 conveniently, sheep manure, which 

 should be procurable at a moderate 

 j)rice in your section, will answer well. 

 Failing either of the foregoing manures, 

 well decayed horse manure will be 

 found satisfactory. I am acquainted 

 with a number of first-class lettuce 

 growers who use nothing but horse man- 

 ure. C. W. 



Greensburg, Ind. — Dille & Konzelman 

 report that their new range of 20,000 

 square feet of glass is now completed. 

 About one-half the space is planted 

 to Killarney, White Killarney, Bride 

 and Maid, the other half being de- 

 voted to carnations. They say the stock 

 is in fine shape and will be ready for 

 market soon.
