CHOICE SELECTIONS IN PLANTS, F. R. PIERSON CO., TARRYTOWN-ON-HUDSON, N. Y. 
VIEWS of our Scarborough Rose 
houses, where our nurseries and 
experimental grounds are also situated, 
our offices and extensive Palm and 
general plant houses being at Tarry- 
town. These houses, each over three 
hundred feet in len L , covering two 
acres of ground, are devoted exclusive- 
ly to the production of winter-flower- 
ing roses. The rosebuds cut from these 
houses the past year amounted to over 
one million flowers. These houses con- 
tain every improvement in regard to 
durability and labor-saving appliances ; 
the rafters and purlins are of wrought 
iron, securing very light roofs and ex- 
1SII11P' : 
treme durability. The water is warmed 
in very cold weather, before using, by 
the exhaust steam from the steam - 
pump that supplies the houses with 
water ; liquid manure is all pumped by 
steam, and everything to secure the 
highest development of our stock, and 
at the least expense, has been sought 
for and secured, and they are conceded 
by all who have examined them to be 
without question the finest range of 
greenhouses devoted to rose culture in 
the United States, and we believe, in 
consequence, we have exceptional fa- 
cilities for supplying strong young 
1 healthy rose stock at the lowest pos- 
sible prices. These houses are worth 
examination, as they are conceded to 
be model houses in every way. Vis- 
itors are always welcome.
