LOWELL, MASS.— John Haynes has 

 added a house 20x75 and J. J. McMan- 

 mon one 20x100. The stock in the Ed- 

 wards greenhouses was frozen during 

 the last cold snap. Christmas trade 

 was very good, though flowers were 

 scarce, owing to the several weeks of 

 dark weather that preceded the holi- 

 day. The trade in holly and green is 

 about out of the florist's hands, as 

 every fruit and drug store of impor- 

 tance sell them at such low rates that 

 the florist can't afford to handle them. 



FREMONT, O.— A. S. Horn & Co. 

 contemplate the erection of a large 

 range of greenhouses in the near fut- 

 ure.

[ Greenhouse Woodwork I 



g Open-air-dried Cypress Lumber is more durable, and better suited to Green- J 



■ house conditions than kiln-dried stock. But you cannot get it from those ■ 



J that are engaged in the business in a small way— even though their entire J 



~ business is confined to greenhouse material— for it take;, a long time for the g 



^ lumber to thoroughly dry and this means an investment in lumber that only p 



g those of large capital can make. The only way to have air-dried lumber is M 



g to buy green lumber and hold it until it dries. Those that order dry lum- H 



J ber from the producers of Cypress get kiln-dried stock. It is cheaper for H 



g them to kiln-dry than to hold the stock long enough to season it in the open = 



~ air. We carry a large stock and fill all orders with open-air-dried Cypress B 



^ clear of knots, sap and all other defects. M
