PLANS FOR HORTICULTHURAL BUILDING. 



A. W. LATHAM, SECY. 



At the suggestion of some of the officers of our society and after 

 consultation with a number of the florists, fruit growers and 

 others interested, the accompanying plans were drawn as embodj^- 

 ing the most desirable features for a structure to be used for the ex- 

 hibition of fruits and flowers. An examination of the ground plan 

 will show two rooms, the smaller one for flowers and the larger for 

 fruits. These rooms are separated by a glazed partition, through 



Ground plan of proposed Horticultural Hall. 



which two archways are cut. The fruit exhibition room is 80 feet 

 long by 72 feet wide, and contains, besides the World's Fair Booth 

 (to be removed from its present site), tables which will hold from 

 2,500 to 3,000 plates, depending on size of plates and distance apart. 

 The tables planned for are the same size as the two wider ones in use 

 in the present building and surrounded by the usual rail. There 

 are tables of one-half width ranged along the two walls. This room 

 is ventilated and somewhat lighted from above, but is also provided 

 with many windows on its two sides, coming down within three feet 

 of the fruit tables and provided with curtains to keep out the sun.
