GREENHOUSES 



In our issue of April 25, mention was 

 made of the intention of S. J. Renter 

 & Son, Westerly, R. I., to erect a new 

 greenhouse this season. We made a 

 mistake in the name of the builders, 

 however. The contract goes to the 

 King Construction Company. The 

 house will be 42 by 175, flat rafter 

 construction and work will commence 

 within a few days. 



Are supplied In 3 different Iron 

 Frame Types; also In the Semi Iron 

 or Pipe Frame st.vles, so we can of- 

 fer you a strong, practical Sunny 

 House at the price you can afford 

 to pay.

OLD BONES AS FERTILIZER. 



Dear Editor ; 



If any of your readers can give some In- 

 formation about using old bones to ad- 

 vantage in the field or greenhouse soil the 

 writer would be very grateful. We have 

 some that have become verv hard fi'cim 

 lying in the sun; in fact, too hard to use 

 safely in the bone-grinder, as there is 

 danger of breaking .some of the Icpth 

 What shall we do to facilitate the grinding 

 of this hard bone and thus cheat the rae- 

 inan and feed the plants? 



ECONOMY. 



If "Economy" has some grapevines 

 or apple trees, the bones may be buried 

 whole underneath them and will be 

 absorbed. But if it is desired to grind 

 them they can be quickly softened bv
