Frederick, Md. — Frederick's educa- 

 tional botanical gardens will be formal- 

 ly opened on Thursday evening. Sei> 

 tember 2, when the Governor of Mary- 

 land and leading officials of the United 

 States government will come to Fred- 

 erick and participate in the official 

 ceremonies. 



The botanical gardens reflect credit 

 to this community. They are not only 

 a valuable asset to the community, but 

 an illustration of co-operative commu- 

 nity work. Mayor Fraley has worked 

 tirelessly with the assistance of Frank 

 C. Hargett, the superintendent, in mak- 

 ing these gardens a successful ven- 

 ture. 



The officers of the gardens: Exec- 

 utive committee, William P. Gude, 

 Washington; George W. Hess, Wash- 

 ington; Richard Vincent, Jr., White 

 Marsh, Md.; Mayor Lewis H. Fraley, 

 Frederick, Md.; Frank C. Hargett. su- 

 perintendent. 



There is now a movement on foot 

 to secure a public park, a part of 

 which will be devoted to the further 

 development of these gardens. 



The Metropolitan Patented 

 Eave prevents ice and snow 

 from sticking on the green- 

 house. 



The Eave is one 

 continuous piece 

 of cast iron — 

 90% of which is 

 in constant con- 

 tact with the 

 heat inside. 

 This heat pen- 

 e t r a t e s right 

 through the 

 eave, and as 

 soon as the 

 snow touches it, 

 it melts imme- 

 diately. None 

 other than the 

 Metro p o 1 1 1 a n 

 Eave can honestly make this claim. 



A heavy snow has broken through 

 many a greenhouse and ruined an ex- 

 pensive crop. The Metropolitan Pat- 

 ented Eave will avoid this. 



lU'fore ordering a greenhouse give us 

 the oi)portunity to prove our claims. 



This Is Bnt One Of The Many Im- 

 provements We Have Made In 

 GreenhoDse Gonstruction.
