PARTIAL VIEW OF PETER REINBERQ'S GREENHOUSE ESTABLISHMENT AT SUMMERDALE, ILL. that Meteor is an expensive rose to grow as he finds that the section of Meteor houses consumes nearly double the coal required for sections which may be kept 10° cooler. Last year Mr. Reinberg was about the only local grower of Golden Gate; he had 4,000 plants. This year he has benched 14,000, which shows what he thinks of it. All his roses are healthy and strong but the grafted plants of Liberty are quite a step in advance of the own root stock. Mr. Reinberg's carnation field, a moist, friable soil, has contained 300,000 plants this season, and the stock is very vigor- ous. He has already benched a great many thousands and intends to house 140,000 altogether, as against 60,000 last year. He has dozens of varieties in the field to keep up the assortment for his trade in cuttings and plants, which is an important part of his business, but his principal varieties for cut flowers, aside from such new sorts as The Mar- quis, Mrs. Lawson. Genevieve Lord, Ethel Crocker and Peru, will be Mrs. Joost, Triumph, Evanston, G. H. Crane, Cerise Queen, America, Flora Hill, White Cloud, Armazindy and Mrs. Bradt. Mr. Reinberg thinks Mrs. Joost the best money maker of the lot and has benched it heavily. Last season he tried 500 of the bottomless pots for carnations and his experience was so similar to that of Fred. Dorner, published in a recent issue, that he has 0,000 of the pots on hand for this year's use. One of the things which Mr. Reinberg shows every visitor is a new red carna- tion of which he expects great things. It is an unnamed sort which originated in 1807 with Leopold Ine, at the National Bohemian Cemetery. The flower some- what resembles G. H. Crane in color and form but the size, while not small, is not large. However, Mr. Reinberg says he can cut three blooms to one from Crane
