Among the best known of the more recent additions to the ranks of New England rose growers are McAlpine Bros., of Exeter, N. H. After care- fully studying the rose growing situa- tion for some time, as well as the gen- eral features and market conditions in and around Boston, W. A. and George F. McAlpine decided to erect one large rose house as a good business invest- mfsnt. Suitable land was procured at Exeter, N. H., where there is a gocl soil for roses, as well as a pure atmosr phere, and a Lord & Burnham house, 60x400, was erected and planted in the summer of 1911. The brothers, in order to achieve the best results, decided to divide their labors. William A., who had had some years- of experience as salesman for William H. Elliott, his uncle, and for the J. A. Budlong & Son Co., of Auburu, K. I., decided that he was best fitted to attend to the firm's interests at the selling end, in the Boston Flower Ex change, while his brother, George F., who had spent some years at W, H, Elliott's big Madbury establishment as foreman and achieved marked success there, took charge of the growing tnd, at Exeter. The new firm's name, Mc- Alpine Bros., New England Rose Con- servatories, Exeter, N. H., soon became known in flower growing circles. The first year the young firm achieved such success that their roses were eagerly sought after by the most critical buyers, and it was therefore de- cided to erect another Lord & Burnham house, 60x400, early in 1912. This was planted the same season and the prod- ucts of the two houses are of such qual- ity that they are already known beyond the confines of New England. No time or space has been wasted by experimenting on new and untried sorts, only such as the public demands being grown. The varieties raised are: American Beauty, Killarney and White Killarney, Ki
