The accompanying illustrations show the excellence of the construction adopted by E. G. Asmus for his new plant at Closter, N. J., where he has been making a very large cut this winter. The house was built a year ago and is 55x400 feet. It contains 12,000 plants, mostly Ameri- can Beauty, and the growth has been a pleasure to the proprietor all season.

The whole house is glazed with 24x30 glass, making it very light. The smaller illustration shows the boiler house, a most novel style for a highly necessary adjunct to a successful rose house. The building is made of irregu- larly shaped broken rocks, roughly dressed. Mr. Asmus has just built a propagat- ing house 11x200 feet and has recently signed a contract with the Pierson-Sef- ton Company for one of their all-iron, "U" bar houses 55x400, which is to be ready to plant July 1.
