HORTICULTURE 



June 1. 1907 



This is a section o! the up-to-date 

 Iron Frame rose house that we are 

 adding to the range. The man who 

 builds now is sure of having the house 

 up in time for early stocking. ■ 



Range at Pomfret Center, Conn. 



HERE YOU HAVE GREENHOUSE BUILDING AT ITS BEST! A nicely 

 balanced arrangement ; an effective contrasting of the straight and curved roofs in an 

 almost perfect location. It forms one of the most important and ornamental features 

 of the grounds, and is just in sight through the trees, from the residence. 

 The palm house, general greenhouse and carnation house form the center, which is flanked 

 on the left by a two compartment, curvilinear grapery and on the right by the orchard 

 house for potted fruit. Orchard houses are constantly growing in favor because of the 

 double purpose for which the house can be"utilized, and the almost immediate returns 

 the fruit gives. If you are thinking of building look thoroughly into our kind of houses, 

 or better yet, see a salesman. Lord & Burnham Co., Greenhouse Designers and Manu-

While Saying So Much in a 



detailed way of exactly how the U-Bar 

 itself is constructed, we have neglected 

 to show you a section from which to 

 get a line on the proposition in gen- 

 eral. This 18 foot section makes 

 plain the simplicity and lightness of 

 construction better than any amount 

 of our talk. See how clean cut and 

 perfect is the connection of sill and 

 U-Bar. A single center column with 

 branch stays is all the support neces- 

 sary. The ventilating hand wheel is 

 placed most conveniently, and the 

 rod and mitre gears under the bench 

 are entirely out of the way. The 

 benches are galvanized steel frames, 

 tile bottom and either slate or cypress 

 sides. It is beyond all comparison the 

 most perfectly designed and equipped 

 greenhouse made. The new catalogue 

 tells you exactly how and why it's 

 made the way it is made. Send for it.
