This is the name NJ. r. Hayden has civ

Newport pike, about mile and hal

are SIX OF the largest and best modern
built green houses TO be found In th,
country. From 1900 to 10000 feet OI
glass roofing sparkling and shimmerng
in the sunlight is highly suggestive ol
a crystal palace.
Another reason IL that beneath these
flashing sheets of crystal are 81, 900 rose
plants in all stages of development
from the tiny shoot making its first
effort TO develop into the beautiful to
the great Marechel Neil which grows

you believe Marechal Neil rose vine

Mr.. Hayden Oh Friday pointed out a
shoot that only three weeks ago was a
bud scarcely visible. Now 1t is eigh.
teen feet long. This Is wonderful, do
you say?
We should think it was. The old
Marechel don't like living cut of doors,

Thermometer. There are thousands of
varieties of roses, but Mr.. Hayden
has selected about seventy-fve of
the best and whoever gets roses
from him is sure to get the best.
But roses are but part of the flowers
grown by Mr.. Hayden. He has fully
10000 other flower plants, amongst
which are the choicest collection of
geraniums, coleas, fucL sias, hell o ropes,
violeIs, pansies, verbenas, lantanas and
numerous others that would occupy col.

These six green houses constitute indeed
Flora's domain, over which she reigns
with supreme beauty and dignity.
Mr. Hayden for the first time is
making speciality of roses. He read
of others raising and selling roses at a
dozen for dollar, and he asked himself
why not L" To think with him was
but TO execute and for the first he may
be called real rose culturist.
This is his first venture and ut the
start he intends o put u hardy ever
blooming roses on the market for a dol
lar. His catalogues will be ready for
mailing and livery by the first of
February. If he sells 5000 this year
he will raise 100, 900 next year.

fact must be taken az an evidence of
the increase OF an intelligent and re-
fined taste.
