Interior of Patented V-Bar Greenhouse Erected on the 

 Estate of Mr. Carll Tucker, Mt, Kisco, N. Y. 



V'Bar Greenhouses 



Ideal for Growing 



We have been guided, in the scientific construction of the Lutton V-Bar 

 Greenhouses by the experience of the men best qualified to know what is 

 needed, the Gardeners themselves. The light, graceful, rustless V-Bar not 

 only makes the greenhouse beautiful to look at, but adds many years to 

 its life. Note particularly in the above photograph the almost entire 

 absence of shadows. The eave line is unobstructed. Side ventilation is 

 obtained by means of cast-iron wall panels built into the foundations. 



Exclusive and peculiar to the Patented Lutton V-Bar Greenhouse is the 

 extra hipfh headroom over the side benches. This is due to the fact that 

 a side light 24" wide x 30" high is used, and either 24" or 30" radius curved 

 eave. 



Just as important, however, is our indestinictable type of plant benches 

 with galvanized iron frame, porous tile bottoms and slate retaining sides. 



No other greenhouse can have the V-Bar construction, as it is patented. 

 The V-Bar itself shows up small when viewed from the side, and the con- 

 densation gutter can easily be seen in the photograph. 



The man who has a Lutton V-Bar Greenhouse knows that it is the most 

 durable, lightest, strongest, most sanitary and efficient type of greenhouse 

 luiilt.

THE CLEVELAND HORT. SOCIETY 



The regular meeting of the above society 



was held Aug. 9 at the home of C. F. Irish, 



arborist, with President J. M. Stevens in 



the chair. The president requested all mem- 

 bers present to stand in silent respect in 

 memory of the late George Jacques, who 

 was superintendent for W. G. Matlier, Lake 

 .Shore Hoiilevard, for the past seventeen 

 years, and a nienilier of tliis society since it 

 was organized. 



After the regular routine of business was 

 finished the advisability of holding a I'all 

 show this year as planned was discussed. 

 It was the consensus of opinion that a show 

 1111 a large scale would possibly conflict with 

 jilans for the national show to be held here 

 next Spring, and it was liiially arranged to 

 hi lid a small show among tlie members onlv 

 Ml as to keep up tlie interest in the growing 

 of exhibit inn mums, the show to be held 

 some time in November. A vote of thanks 

 was tendered Mr. Irish for his hospitality.
