SFBINGFIELD, MASS. 



Mark Aitken has now nearly com- 

 pleted the four houses which form the 

 beginning of the new range of glass on 

 his farm at Agawam. The four houses, 

 each 34x300, are of Lord & Burnham 

 construction. One house will be used 

 for carnations, another for chrysanthe- 

 mums, another for violets, cosmos and 

 sweet peas, and the fourth house for 

 palms, ferns and lilies. Two boilers 

 have been installed, one of 125 horse- 

 power and the other of 75 horse-power. 



Early in the spring, work will be 

 begun on a fifth greenhouse of the 

 same size as those just finished, and 

 this house will be devoted to roses. 

 Mr. Aitken has also made ambitious 

 plans for the attractive development of 

 the entire farm and will carry a large 

 stock of outdoor plants and shrubs. 



The water for the range is pumped 

 from a driven well twenty-seven feet 

 deep and an apparently inexhaustible 

 supply has been found. It is pumped 

 by a gasoline engine into a 10,000-gallon 

 tank. Air is pumped into the tank at 

 the same time, and a pressure of about 

 seventy-five pounds is maintained in 

 this way at all hours of the day and 

 night. 



Mr. Aitken has been in business in 

 this city for eighteen years, and during 

 that time his trade has increased iintil 

 it has far outgrown his old quarters on 

 Osgood street. He began his career as 

 a florist more than twenty years ago, 

 by going into business with his father 

 in New Haven, Conn., when he was 14 

 years of age. When they came to this 

 city they started business as Aitken & 

 Son. John Aitken died twelve years 

 ago, and about the same time his son 

 bought the old Hersch greenhouses on 

 Osgood street, where he has been 

 located until he bought the Agawam 

 farm last spring. He had only about 

 23,000 feet of floor space there and the 

 new plant will just about triple that 

 capacity. 



Fall Kiver, Mass. — J. M. Meads is 

 now the sole proprietor of the Rolling 

 Rock Greenhouses, on Marsh street. The 

 business was founded by Meads & Dur- 

 fee, but in June of this year Mr. Meads 

 assumed entire control. He has a down- 

 town store on Quequechan street. He 

 gives special attention to hardy plants 

 and he furnished the plants for the 

 grounds of the city waterworks this 

 year. The greenhouses derive their 

 name from the Rolling Rock, which is 

 a short distance from them.
