SALE OF GREENHOUSES.
Reinberg a. Weiland Plant at New
Castle Disposed OF.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
NEW CASTLE, Ind, Nov. 12.-An I'M
portant sale of greenhouse interests has
occurred in the Reinberg 81 Weiland plant
here, by which Peter Weiland, the junior
member of the firm, becomes sole owner of
the plant, which is valued at about $4,000.
Peter Reinberg, of Chicago, was the for
mer partner. Besides growing roses, to
which ten large houses are devoted, Mr..
Weiland has considerable ground planted
in peonies and lilacs. The old-fashioned
''piny" is growing In popularity and there
is great demand for the flower at Decora-
ton time. The peony has been greatly inn
proved and some very fine varieties, among
them the popular Festiva Maxima, are
found at the Weiland plant. There are
perhaps $500 peony plants In all and 800
lilac bushes. The difference In the lati-
tude at this point and that of Chicago
and other northern shipping points makes
the out of door flower culture profitable,
because a crop of flowers comes in from
two to three weeks earlier than at the
northern points.
Peter Weiland is one of the y%oungest
managing florists il the United States.
