HOETICULTUEE 



October 28. 1916 



IT was one of last Spring's first f^Iorioiis 

 days that lured me away from the office, 

 and foiiiul me with camera in hand, 

 heading for Mt. Kisco, and the Jesse L. 

 Straus houses, where Chas. Young has the 

 reputation of successfully courting the God- 

 dess Flora. 



Location conditions considered, the green- 

 house as laid out; fits its place admirably. 



Naturally, one expected to find palms in the 

 palm house, but instead it was "chock- 

 ablock" with Easter plants in their height 

 of bloom. 



The sight made me wonder why more gar- 



deners didn't use their 

 use. 



The growing houses you notice, altho curved 

 eave, have continuous over bench side ven- 

 tilation. In tliis case the sash are hinged 

 to an angle iron, and the gutter is at the 

 sill. But now, with our new modified 

 Curved Eave Construction, the gutter is 

 above the sash where the curve starts, and 

 having a longer sweep than in the old one. 

 it gives higher sides and makes a neat and 

 thoroughly architectural way to take care of 

 the side sash and side ventilation. 

 When you are ready to build, say when and 

 where, and we'll be there to talk it over 

 with you.
