GREENHOUSE ROSES.
Two Acres o. American Beauties Under
Giass--Ralsing winter Ffowers.

heaisau8 inter kI0WOfN.
Two acres OF American Beauty rose
bushes all under one roof OF glass in the
little town OF North Wales, Pa, are nod
beginning TO produce their crop OF blooms
This greenhouse is the largest in the
world, and so great is the demand FOR
American Beauty roses that another green
house even larger is now in course OF
erection beside It.
At the mention of roses the average
city dweller thinks OF the bushes which
grow on the lawns OF country places
bushes that produce masses of pink
blossoms every June. and have done 80
In many instances from generation to
generation. But the greenhouse rose
bueh differs in various respects from the
June rose bush OF the lawns.
The greenhouse rose bush lives but a
single season. for the forcing process to
which Il Ii subjected is such a strain upon
its vitality that blooms OF subsequent
years would be OF little commercial value.
Cuttings are planted in January and care
fully nurtured during the ensuing sum-
ner. By the following Christmas the
first buds appear. o..
The plants are six 10 eight feet tall and
are supported on wires stretched hori-
sontally through the greenhouse. Until
Easter the cutting continues. each plant
yielding FIVE or more flowers. The
choicest blossoms sell for 81 so each, the
price ranging from that down to 80 a
dozen.
The high prices readily obtained for
American Beauty roees induced a Phila-
delphian 70 undertake the erection OF a

a dozen greenhouses Of the ordinary
kind money could be saved in the first
cost OF material as well as in the subse-
quent cost Of heating by erecting one huge
greenhouse.
Mechanics were reluctant to undertake q
to put up a glass roof OF the dimensions
required, but finally man was found who
erected a greenhouse $50 feet broad 81

quent spraying with water Is necessary
and 276 spigots are placed at convenient
intervals throughout the greenhouse
In this house 4S. 900 plants. all American
Beauties, grow every year, producing
more than 200 900 blooms. The benches
on which the beds are arranged IL placed
In a row would be two and three quarters
miles long.
The new greenhouse which N now about
half finished, will be the same height
and width a. the older house, but will Be-
100 feet long. In the part OF the structure
that has been completed %. 900 tomato
plants are growing this winter.

HIS FIRST FRAME SLED.
story OF wreck by q Man who Remen,-
bers when Most Boys Used Pungs.

DNNb Wh0h NhVoN e'gSS ASuu os'oSs
when I was boy" said 9 man whose
boyhood was some time back. -the now
almost universally sold frame sled had
not yet come into common use. In those
days lots OF boys had pung sleds, a
pung being a solid heavy sled, short
bodied and with runners OF solid wood
these being iron shod. More boys had
pungs than frame sleds. ..GN
AT that time was introduced q solid
runner sled that was called clipper
This was q sled made narrower and
longer than pung and with much lower
runners. these tapering out with . long
projection in front. The clipper was ehod
with round iron: these shoes being rnade
fast securely at both ends. but long
enough so that along the middle fection
OF the runner they stood out a quarter
Of an inch or so clear. giving them littls
spring. The clipper sled was supposed 10
be very tast. Any Boy thai Swnsd a
You zee some clippers In use now,
II had pung that my father made for
me in the wood working shop where he
worked. Like everything else he ever
made. this sled was well and Thoroughly
built. and then he got u ironed in the
blacksEAith shop. where they put ON IL
not this himsy strap iron but fitted shoes
Of fiat iron a sixteenth OF an inch thick. and
then he had IL painted in the paint shop.
where they first rubbed Il down and then
ished of with a coat Of varnish. That sled
was probably the best pung ever built.
But wanted frame sled. more and more
boys were getting them. and the next
winter my father bought me one,
Most Of the frame sleds were built
a little higher then than they are now
and most Of them were made with
braces Of rod iron extending from the
uprights to the runners. My new frame
sled was high built sled and u was not
iron braoed; but its forward pair Of up
rights were set somewhat angling. thus
bracing Il structurally and making Il
plenty strong enough FOR the weight Of
anybody OF my age. IL was q lig}t

for it. knew re was likely to break II.
but he sort OF pushed me away and took
the sled while stood by mortally afraid
OF whas would happen TO IL and hoping
that it would oome out all right. and then
this man picked up the sled and held il
up In front OF him and stepped back
thr0e or four steps from the top OF the
hill and then ran forward and threw the
sled down and threw himself upon it and
he smashed IL fat!
Il suppose now that the stuff the sled

couldn't stand the strain. When that
heavy man threw himself ON the sled the
