BLOOMSBUBQ, PA. 



The location of the Dillon green- 

 houses was changed last fall to a 

 new site nearby. The newer houses 

 were removed and a new plant 

 erected on a sidehill with a corridor 

 at either end of the range, making it 

 complete, with packing room, ofSce and 

 ice vault. The verbena, which made 

 the place famous, is still largely grown, 

 but more attention is paid to roses. 

 Radiance is popular. A few Perles are 

 still grown. J. L. Dillon, Jr., has taken 

 charge and promises to make good. 



Wm. Ahlers has purchased the plant 

 formerly owned by the Bloomsburg 

 Floral Co. and has it running in fine 

 shape. Eoses are the main crop. 



TO CLEAN GREENHOUSE GLASS. 



Can you tell me what is a good solution 

 to use in cleaning glass in greenhouses? 

 I have seen an advertisement of some 

 sort of mixture for this purpose, but it 

 would cost too much to purchase it in 

 Chicago and have it shipped to this 

 part of Oklahoma. W. W. 



Without knowing what substance it 

 is that you desire to clean off the glass, 

 it is not easy to state what would be 

 the best cleanser. If you wish to re- 

 move soot or something of that char- 

 acter, it will be necessary to use either 

 a solution of lye or of caustic soda, 

 both of which are easy to get and are 

 not costly. But keep these solutions 

 away from the putty as much as pos- 

 sible, and also from the hands of the 

 operator, as the potash and soda are 

 both injurious to putty or to the skin 

 of the hands. W. H. T. 



New Ulm, Minn.— George Dill, of St. 

 Paul, has made arrangements for the 

 construction of greenhouses here. Last 

 fall he purchased three lots, one block 

 west of the fair grounds. On that site 

 he intends to erect two houses, each 

 18x100, and expects to be ready for 

 business about April 15. His son, John 

 Dill, who has been employed as an ex- 

 pert florist in one of the largest St. 

 Paul establishments, will have active" 

 charge of the greenhouses here and 

 the firm name will be Dill & Son.
