As the animal Is kind and gentle, and
can be driven by child. Mr.. Hayden
refused to part with him.
The hot houses were next inspected,
and here much WAS found TO interest
! and instruct. On every hand are flow
ers, beautiful fiowers, and q person
Z would almost think they had been trans
, ported to fairy land. There are six of
these houses, each 124 feet wide and "a
t feet long, and all are connected.
/, 1t required $4,000 square feet Of glass to
! construct them, in addition to the other
~ material.
They are supplied with water frc.,
the reservoir or tank already mentioned

u cistern capable Of holding 13, 900 gallons
for use In times of drought, when ther,
might be q possibility of the regular

the sash, and this is done by an inge
nious arrangement, that not only lifts
but holds them In any position desired
and works 30 easily that 1t can be ope
rated by child. In one of the house
is what is known as the potting room
where plants are put In pots for th
market. Two large bins are filled wit
pots, one of which contains $1,000 an
the other $4,000, In addition to larg

Two handsome Marechal Ne

will commence putting out roses II
his trade next spring, and although
sold a large nun Der this year at

Outside the hot-houses there are sew

The people seem each year to be grow
