 form us that they have postponed 

 building plans for the present, owing 

 to their failure to get full title to 

 some ground which was needed. The 

 title is only a matter of time, so the 

 postponement is only temporary. 



CEMENT GREENHOUSE BENCHES. 



Cement is rapidly taking the place 

 of wood in the construction of green- 

 house benches and thus far has filled 

 the bill satisfactorily for all who have 

 given it a trial. The main considera- 

 tion is to have the material properly 

 mixed and then used to the most prac- 

 tical advantage. The Wittbold system 

 of construction, for which E. H. Hunt 

 of Chicago is agent, has been winning 

 general approval for its simplicity and 

 thoroughness. 



The forms invented by Louis Witt- 

 bold make a bench in one continuous 

 piece of cement, including posts, floor- 

 i»g, side and end boards. Posts are 5 

 inches in diameter and the rest one 

 inch thick, reinforced by No. IS gal- 

 vanized wire net. Experience has 

 shown that two rows of posts set 4 ft. 

 apart are ample to support a 5 ft. 

 bench and three rows tor wider bench- 

 es. Any florist can construct his 

 benches without expensive labor by 

 the use of the simple Wittbold devices 

 and the cost of labor, cement and re- 

 inforcing material will not exceed six 

 cents per square foot. This price is 

 based on actual experience with ma- 

 terial bought at Chicago market prices. 

 In a recent interview C, M. Dickinson 

 of the E. H. Hunt Supply House stated 

 that there was a raiiidly increasing 

 demand for his booklet of information 

 on cement bench construction which 

 he is sending out free upon applica- 

 tion. We advise our readers to apply 

 for a copy. It is an up-to-date presen- 

 tation of an up-to-date proposition. 



We take occasion to again call at- 

 tention to the very useful "Standard 

 Pipe Card" which is being sent by 

 Kroeschell Bros. Co., 466 W. Erie 

 street, Chicago, to all who apply for 

 same It contains in a concise forin 

 a large amount of useful information 

 for pipe workers and greenhouse men.
