NEW INDUSTRY STARTS.
Green House Operated by L. L. War
den Doinu Good Business.

Lewistown now has a green house,
although not a great many OF the
people here are aware of the fact.
Luther l.. Warden, n of our own
young men. has put in a complete
outfit at his home in the western part
of the city. As yet 1t Is far from COM
plete. but he is working at it all his
spare time and even now the flowers
he raises will bear favorable compar-
ison with those shipped in from out
side points.
The flower house is near Mr.. War.
denis residence and is 80 by IL feet
in size. 1t is heated by hot water heat
from the furnace in the dwelling
house and the air is kept at an even
temperature at all times. The stands
or tables now in the green house are
only temporary wooden ones, but Mr..
Warden expects to put in the most
modern iron tables in the spring and
will at that time enlarge his business
greatly.
He has some GOO %carnation plants
and the demand for these flowers arc
so great that he never has any to
lnTOW AWAY. BeSlueS lit CdlldtiohS
there are roses, geraniums and violets.
There are also a number Of varieties
of ferns, and other foliage plants.
Probably the most remunerative
part of the green house is that given
over to the raising of lettuce and rad.
dishes. Mr.. Warden has been sup
plying. the restaurants and stores here
for some time with his lettuce, which
is always fresh and crisp. He has
two or three beds of this in various
stages of growth and a large bed OF
, adishes which will be ready for the
Christmas trade.
Lewistown has long needed a place
of this kind and Mr.. Warden is going
at the business in the right way and
will undoubtedly make a success o.
the venture. Lewistown Is CROWNS
and the demand for flowers is increas
ing every year. Mr.. Warden expects
to make many changes in his place II
the spring and will have an up-to-dat'
green house in every respect.
