THE COLE GLASS CO., Lancaster, Ohio 



SPRINGFIELD, O. 



The year 1911 has not been one of 

 extensive greenhouse building in this 

 vicinity, but some enlargements of space 

 and the usual amount of rebuilding and 

 repairing have been noted in the course 

 of a brief tour of inspection by your 

 correspondent. 



Charles M. Niuffer has erected two 

 houses, each 20x100, enlarged and im- 

 proved his potting shed, constructed a 

 vestibule connecting the houses with 

 his residence and secured the ex- 

 tension of the city electric light service 

 to his place. These additions and im- 

 provements will permit increasing his 

 output and add to his personal comfort 

 in the growing of roses for local cata- 

 logue houses. 



O. Jackson conducted us through the 

 houses of the American Eose & Plant 

 €o., which were found in apple-pie or- 

 der under the capable supervision of 

 Carl Glenn. Ferns are the specialty of 

 this concern and a trade in 6-inch, 8- 

 inch and 10-inch sizes is rapidly being 

 extended. Nephrolepis Eoosevelt is 

 their leader, but a number of newer 

 sports are now being closely watched 

 and the management expects them to 

 be winners. The packing and potting 

 shed has been extended eighty-six feet, 

 with a width of sixteen feet. Side walls 

 of concrete, with steel posts for gutters, 

 have been completed, on which four 

 new houses, each 21x150, will be erected 

 next spring. Delay in the arrival of 

 material and the extremely unfavorable 

 weather this fall have prevented their 

 immediate completion. 



The Good & Reese Co. rebuilt five 

 of their older houses during the sum- 

 mer, following practically the same con- 

 struction as used in the remainder of 

 the range, except that the side walls, 

 gutter posts and benches were con- 

 structed of cement instead of wood. 

 This concern reports extreme difficulty 

 in the digging of outdoor stock, so that 

 a considerable quantity of shrubbery 

 which should now be in cold storage 

 will probably have to remain in the 

 ground until spring. 



The completion of the Indian Run 

 sewer through State street brought this 

 much needed improvement within 700 

 feet of the houses of the Leedle Floral 

 Co., and the firm has just had a con- 

 tractor lay a private line for this dis- 

 tance, with which the necessary con- 

 veniences have been connected and pro- 

 vision made for carrying away waste 

 water from numerous down-spouts and 

 other pipes. Ge Dale.
