The superintendent, George Collins, informs us that at the present time sixty-five men are employed in the greenhouses. Mr. Reinberg with judgment and fore- sight has already got in the greater part of his winter supply of coal. He has con- tracted for 250 carloads. A walk through the houses will gi-ve one a fair idea of the immensity of the place and the labor necessary to keep the machine running, from planting and propagating to cutting and marketing the blooms. One hundred houses are devoted to the rose, which Mr. Reinberg makes his specialty. Here are found American Beauty, La France, Sunrise, Bride and Bridesmaid, Ivory, Perle, Chatenay, Liberty, Golden Gate, Kaiserin and Perle von Godesberg. Every plant has a thrifty appearance which reflects great credit on Mr. Collins and his corps of assistants. The Sunrise houses pre- sent a remarkably attractive appearance, the beautiful foliage, full of buds and flowers being a sight not easily forgotten. Mr. Reinberg is emphasizing his Chat- enay, which appears to be as good com- mercially as it is beautiful. One of the high roofed houses in the new range is devoted to Golden Gate. The fumigation which is done in the range materially damages the delicate coloring of this rose and hereafter it will probably be grown in a house of its own. The carnations grown here cover numerous profitable varieties. Five entire houses are devoted to the Lawson, every bench looking thrifty and strong. A few benches of the new Adonis are also doing well. Flora Hill, Murphy's white, and the dainty Queen Louise are all look- ing nice. The plants are remarkably free from disease. Some new white varieties are being tried, with encouraging success thus far, but more will be heard of them later. White Bradt, however, is not com- ing up to the expectations of its exploiters
