THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE OF AMERICA. 



Ne\v Fruit Houses at J. B. Duke's 



THIS reproduction of our artist's drawing shows the third large range 

 of houses purchased from us for Mr. Duke's vast estate at Somer- 

 ville, N. J. 

 This last one Is situated just in front of the thirty curved eave houses 

 completed in 1909. 



The entire group of new houses will be devoted to fruit. 

 The central house, 50 x 100 feet, is the orangery. The end houses, de- 

 voted to potted fruits, are each 35 x 42 feet, and the connecting houses, each 

 35 X 58 feet, are for peaches and nectarines. 



It is said to be the largest single group of houses in this country devoted 

 solely to fruit. 



Since writing this, it has been decided to substitute an extensive formal 

 garden in place of the pool shown in the illustration.
