PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED. 



"Some Greenhouses We Have Built." 

 Published by Lord & Burnham Com- 

 pany, New York. This is the ninth 

 edition of this valuable work, en- 

 larged and completed up to present 

 time. Its one hundred pages are de- 

 voted to illustrations and accompany- 

 ing text matter covering the entire 

 subject of Sectional Iron Frame Green- 

 Houses, their planing, location, con- 

 struction, heating and accessories, and 

 describing progressively the various 

 types — from straight roof lean-to up 

 to the most elaborate combination cur- 

 vilinear ranges. 



The constructions figured and de- 

 scribed in this volume are the result 

 of over half a century's experience 

 and progress in greenhouse designing 

 and manufacturing. Especial pains is 

 taken with the subject of location of 

 a house or range of houses so that it 

 will properly harmonize with its sur- 

 roundings and in its relation to the 

 trees and other objects In the immedi- 

 ate landscape. All the houses shown 

 can be duplicated or made the sub- 

 ject of endless combinations, either 

 elaborate or simple as the buyer may 

 select as duplicate plans of the work- 

 ing drawings of all the erections 

 shown in this catalogue are filed and 

 estimates can be made without delay. 



Straight roof lean-to— even span- 

 three-quarter span — one compartment 

 or several: curved eave type in simi- 

 lar progression — curvilinear type in 

 like sequence — and then combinations 

 of these various types in endless va- 

 riety and with varied architectural 

 treatment, are shown respectively as 

 noted, and in each case an exterior 

 view, interior view and ground plan 

 are given. Then comes a series of 

 houses specially designed for special 

 uses, as fruit forcing, palm growing, 



rose or carnation growing, etc., and a 

 detailed description of all the parts 

 that contribute to the complete house. 

 If the reader wishes to gain valu- 

 able knowledge on iron-frame green- 

 house construction, let him send for 

 a copy of this book. It "fills the hill."

The Culture of the Chrysanthemum, 

 by W. Wells, Merstham, England, 

 Revised Edition for 1910. This is a 

 revised and enlarged edition of this 

 most interesting and instructive man- 

 ual on the Chrysanthemum for Ex- 

 hibition, Decoration, Cut Flower and

 cuts showing cultural, processes, etc., 

 and is an invaluable hand-book for 

 the up-to-date chrysanthemum grower. 



Morrisville, N. J.— Prof. Hugh Fin- 

 lay has been elected teacher of horti- 

 culture and gardening in the New 

 York State School of Agriculture. 

 During the season of 190S he acted as 

 landscape gardener at the Mt. Herman 

 Schools. He also studied at the New 

 York State School of Agriculture at 

 Cornell University. As he is a born 

 horticulturist, florist and gardener, 

 with his practical training and enthu- 

 siasm it seems that he is sure to make 

 a success of that branch of the new 

 school. 



A lily bulb is a small 

 matter to make so 

 much fuss about. 



There would be no 

 need of fuss if we 

 could convince bulb 

 growers that Horse- 

 shoe Brand Lily bulbs 

 will average more 

 blooms per thousand 

 bulbs than any other 

 brand; that they are 

 packed well and keep 

 better; that they are 

 secured from only the 

 finest fields in the 

 world; and that their 

 actual cost is less than 

 inferior goods. 



Don't be fooled — at 

 the present time there 

 is no brand put up 

 that will equal Horse- 

 shoe Brand.
