A new propagating house, 10x100, with two side benches, will be completed this month, and early next month begonia propagation in it will commence in earnest. The houses here are not at all modern, but it would not be easy to find an establishment with a finer grade of pot plants than are grown by WoUrath & Sons, in Waltham. W. N.
