Montrose - One of the oddest industries in the State is a butterfly farm near Montrose. Frederick Newhart, who is a man 60 years old, has at least eighty thousand butterflies. He has a quarter of an acre of ground enclosed with a fine wire netting eight feet high. This is one huge flower bed, with patches of grass here and there, and several large pools of shallow water with wide muddy edges. Here the great army of bright winged butterflies are kept. There are many varieties, probably fifty different kinds. In one corner of the garden is a huge glass house for winter quarters. Newhart lives alone and, having considerable property, keeps butterflies as a mere fad.
