CONCERNING THIS MODEL ROSE HOUSE 



TT ERE then is an up-to-date rose house for private 

 ^ A places, one in which from August ist to February 

 I St, ii,ooo perfect top notch roses were cut from 

 500 plants. 



With this particular arrangement of side-walks three 

 things are accomplished : 



All the plants on these 5-foot side benches can be as easily worked 

 as the centre bench. 



The plants are far enough from the sides 

 to protect them from chi Is. 



The ventilation following the roof-line and 

 down the sides does not strike directly 

 against the plants, as it does when 

 there is no side-walk, but coming 

 in contact with the heating pipes, 

 reaches the plants tempered. Mildew, 

 the rose grower's bugaboo, as a result 

 is more easily prevented. 



Now just take these advantages in 

 combination with our Sectional Iron 



fl 2S'-o'- 



bECTlON JOHN .ASHE RDSK HOUSE. 



Frame Greenhouse, with its e.xceptional lightness, and 

 absolute proven duralnlity, and you have the up-to-date 

 rose house. 



We have recently printed a book on " Greenhouses 

 As We Build Them," for Colleges, Institutions, Parks 

 and Private Places. We want to send superintendents 

 and gardeners this book, and when writing, it will be 

 a great help to us in completing our list of private 

 places if you will kindly mention employer's name.
