Crystal Palace is situated on the Newp RI
'P ke, about one and half miles from
/ this city, and consists of his residence
and seven large greenhouses, supplied
with every modern improvement for the
successiul cultiva ion oi plants and flow
ers. Each Of thcss houses are over one
hundred feet in length, and six of them
stsnd 10 row, on line wi h The DWELL
log, while the other is in the re4r,
The necessary heat is supplied by q
large automatic furnace an boiler. W hich

this apparatus, those having greenhouses
were oDlige during the winter to have a
man oa<duty all night to watch the fire,
a ID see that II maintained an even tenn

this apparatus regulates the heat aud it

of the greenhouses is furnished with
benches on each ride, and also In the cen
tire, exten ling the entire length, with the
exception of passage way about the
m ddle, which communicates with the
adjoising houses Some of th sc benches
arc filed with potted plants, while others
are covered with loan, In which the
plants are started.
In consequence Of the great aud grow
log demadd for roses, Mr.. Hayden is de
voting more than usual attention to them
this spring, and four OF these large houses
are nearly filed with this "Queen Of
Flowers
The FIRST house contains nothing but
roses, embracing ell the new varieties,
and the finest and best of the old and
we'll known kinds Among the new and
desirable varieties is the american

since Ia the gardens of Mr. Bancroft, the

rose has turned out even better u an was
expected, and now produces flowers OF
enormous size, very ane form, beautifully

and dellcately scented. UPder Mr.. Hay

Hayden has succeeded In improving this
rose until he now has flowers six inches

delightful. One OF the most singular va

1n addition to the roses named Mr..
Hayden has over one hundred other
choice varieties, many of which are EN-
braced In what are known as the "dollar
roses These are the plants that he aur-
nishes at the low rate Of one dollar .
dozen, and for which the demand has In
other seasons exceeded the supply. This
year he has over one hundred thousand
of these plants, all OF which are stronger
healthier, and better than ever before.
Each plant Il set in three-inch pot, and
II carefully set out aecordll & 10 dire tlons
will commI nee blooming at once, and
give q succession OF beautiful flo ere all

the winter, with layer of leaves three or
four inches deep, VITA about the same
depth of coal ashes on top, they Ill
stand the most severe weather, and come
out bright ard be utiful in the spring,
amply rep ying the small amount of
labor required tor their protection
With good, healthy roses at one dollar
dozen there is no excuse for sny one
who has lit lie patch OF ground being
without su ,cesslon OF beautiful flowers,
for, as said before the,e plants will COM
mence blooming at once They are vastly
different from the ntferabl puny things
that are sent out by some florists as they
have received the most caref i culture TO
render them strong and hardy. Mr..
Hayden also has q choice selection of
gersniums. petunias, carnations, be
gorias, co Gus, and all other varieties of
plants suitable for out-d Jor planting in
summer, or for the parlor or conservatory
