GREEN-HOUSE GONSTRUGTiON. 



This has been a specialty with us for many years and to us is 

 due the credit for many of tiie great improvements that have been 

 made in the construction of wooden green-houses. To those that 



buy our 



Clear Cypress Building Material 



we furnish, free of cost, complete detail drawings from which any 

 intelligent workman can put up the material correctly. We have 

 plenty of time to write letters ABOUT OUR BUSINESS, and we will 

 be glad to hear from those contemplating building.

ourselves that it might have been 

 worse. We can recollect an experi- 

 ence of some years ago, when exhibits, 

 attendance, frost, and everything else, 

 were a frost. Now we don't deplete 

 our treasury and have the great satis- 

 faction of knowing that those who did 

 attend have nothing but the greatest 

 praise for our efforts. How pleasant 

 tor the hard working florist to lay his 

 bald head on the pillow or compost 

 pile of the potting bench and exclaim 

 in honest pride in the language of the 

 western statesman, "I seen my duty 

 and I dun it." 



It is rather amusing to read the ac- 

 count of our show in an Eastern con- 

 temporary- The local correspondent 

 says "It was only advertised in a gen- 

 eral way." Why did not these smart 

 fellows, whose entire life is spent 

 promoting advei'tising schemes, lend 

 us their valued knowledge in this art? 

 These fussy people who have only 

 ambiguous fault finding to offer re- 



mind one, and in fact have been shin- 

 ing examples all their lives, of those 

 great principles promulgated and 

 practiced by the "Circumlocution of- 

 fice" immortalized by Dickens, whose 

 noble mission was demonstrated in all 

 its undertakings by "How not to do 

 it." 



I forgot in last week's notes to say 

 that a plant which attracted wide at- 

 tention was a fine specimen of Acaly- 

 pha Sanderi. This plant, if it can be 

 propagated so as to get within reach 

 of the moderate pocket, must become 

 very popular. Mr. Dimmock, who 

 thoughtfully sent it for our exhibi- 

 tion, called this week, and we much 

 regret that being in bed we sent out 

 word please call tomorrow. We for- 

 got who we were talking to. We 

 thought it was Mott. Mr. Dimmock 

 was off and out of town before we 

 could catch him. 



Mr. Skidelsk}' was in town last 

 week. W. S.
