UnuBual PoimiiLi 

 In ThoSo Yoiminigj, Jfo^s 

 New HoMsa 



"X/W R. YOUNG has, what we believe 

 to be, a model rose house of 

 our Reconstructed Construction. 



It is 48 feet wide and 500 long; 

 and divided in two compartments, 

 by a central passage. There are 

 seven lights of 20 inch glass be- 

 tween rafters, making a spacing of 

 12 feet 2 inches. This extra wide 

 spacing reduces the number of col- 

 umns and posts by a third and the 

 number of glass laps by a quarter, 

 over the old 8 ft. 4 inch spacing. 



The ridge sash are operated in 

 lengths of 5 continuously connected 

 sash, with a light of glass between 

 the lengths, so the ends will not 

 bind or stick. This makes so good 

 a fix. that we recommend its use to 

 you. 



A strong point about the sash 

 operating apparatus is that there 

 are three instead of two arms at- 

 tached to each sash, which, of 

 course, greatly stiffens them, pre- 

 venting warping, and insuring their 

 closing evenly and snugly. 



In addition to this rose house, we 

 have also erected for Mr. Young, 

 from time to time, six orchid houses 

 each 30 x 500. 



To our notion he has one of the 

 most up-to-date ranges in the coun- 

 try. The way it is run, would be a 

 joy to any efficiency crank. 



The Reconstructed Construction 

 of the big house is fully described 

 in our New Supply Book, that has 

 just come from the printers.' Send 

 for it.
