THE GARDENERS^ CHRONICLE OF AMERICA. 



Why Metropolitan Construction Was Used 

 by the N. J, Agricultural Experiment 

 Station, at New Brunswick, N. J. 



HERE IS THE STORY: E\er\ g-ower knows to what test the 

 Government .mil State experiment stations put their greenhouses. 

 The construction and lieating system must be far above the or- 

 dinar> in order to produce the desired results. The greenhouse 

 on the extreme left was not built by us, but when a new one 

 was wanted we were awarded the contract. Tliis greenhouse (the 

 one in tlie center) was constructed of the MetroiioHtan patented 

 iron wall construction. Two years later they needed a third 

 house, and would have none but our construction— that's the one 

 to the right. 



Here is what Dr. J. G. Lipinan, Director of the New Jersey 

 Agricultural Experiment Station, has to say about our work: 

 "In so far as I know, the work done by you was eminently 

 satisfactory, and I trust that we shall have occasion in the 

 future to request your company to bid on other work." 

 If contcmf^latiug the huildirig of a f^reeuhoiisc, let us xubrntt plans
