WEED KILLER 



THE VERY NEWEST AND QUICKEST METHOD OF DESTROYING WEEDS, 



GRASS AND OTHER GROWTH IN GARDEN WALKS, GUTTERS, 



TENNIS COURTS, DRIVEWAYS, ETC. 



Tbis fluid absolutely destroys :ill weeds and other growth wherever applied, 

 and its effect on the ground prevents the growth of fresh ones for a year and 

 thus saves a great deal of time and labor, as no cutting, hoeing or hauling away 

 of the weeds is renuired. 

 We manufacture the stroncest line of DISINFECTANTS on the market.

A ROOF GREENHOUSE 



The roof greenhouse shown in our 

 cover illustration was completed a few 

 months ago by S. Jacobs & Sons for 

 C. C. Trepel, on the roof of a two-story 

 building at Broadway and 89th street, 

 New York. The size of this curved- 

 eave greenhouse is 35 by 125. Many 

 obstacles had to be overcome in this 

 operation. A special permit was ob- 

 tained from the building department 

 of New York, because the building was 

 an old structure. The brick walls had 

 to be elevated, a special shaft was built, 

 take passengers to the roof. Fire law 

 regulations had to be met; a concrete 

 roof was laid, a steam heating plant 

 was installed, which heats the entire 

 building and greenhouse. Special pro- 

 visions were made for heating the 

 greenhouse at night. A difficult drain-

and an elevator was installed, so as to 

 age problem was solved. The least of 

 S. Jacobs & Sons troubles were en- 

 countered in securing the contract, al- 

 though it was a strictly competitive 

 job. This greenhouse is in perfect 

 running order, and has been pointed 

 out by many in passing by on account 

 of its artistic beauty. The best fea- 

 ture of it all is that Mr. Trepel has 

 secured a big trade by means of its 

 attractiveness.
