GREENHOUSE BUILDING. 



We have received from the Lord & 

 Burnham Co., St. James building. New 

 York City, a copy of their new "Cjita- 

 logue of Greenhouses." It is really 

 more of a portfolio th;in a catalogue, 

 containing over fifty fine half-tone 

 plates beautifully printed on enameled 

 paper, of conservatories and ranges of 

 greenhouses erected by the company in 

 various sections of the country. These 

 show a great variety in greenhouse and 

 conservatory construction and no 

 doubt assist many prospective builders 

 in deciding upon the style of structure 

 they wish. 



The book also contains many en- 

 gravings from drawings of secfons of 

 different styles of structures, show.ng 

 the manner in which the parts are put 

 together. It is a very instructive as 

 well as interesting catalogue. Any in- 

 tending builder may obtain a copy by 

 addressing the company as above and 

 enclosing 5 cents for postage. 



COE RIDGE. OHIO. 



The manager of the Essex Green- 

 house, Mr. H. W. Turner, has just fin- 

 ished four houses, each 25x100, one 

 house 20x100 and a glass enclosed 

 shed 8x100. These houses are to be 

 planted to roses, two of them to Beau- 

 ties. Later, two carnation houses will 

 be built. 



Carnation growing will be a new de- 

 parture for them, as they have been 

 grovring roses mostly, with a few ferns 

 and asparagus, also a few bulbs. They 

 have been sending in the best Maids in 

 the Cleveland market, and some very 

 fine Golden Gates, too. 



Keep Bros, have purchased twenty 

 acres of land. They intend to move 

 their houses to this tract and will add 

 some new ones. ACME.
