Quick and Easy 



That is the way the DAISY APPLE 

 BOX PRESS works. A simple press- 

 ure of the foot brings the arms up over the ends 

 of the box, automatically draws them down and 

 holds them in place while being nailed. The 

 fastest and only automatic press on the market.

One of the most interesting- of the hor- 

 ticultural exhibits at the Exhibition was 

 that of The Lord & Burnham Co., Ltd., of 

 Canada, with a complete and full sized 

 curved eave greenhouse, 18 feet by 25 feet, 

 with a service building- 14 feet bv 20 feet at- 

 tached to the rear. This g-reenhouse re- 

 presented their standard g-reenhouse con- 

 struction, description of which follows: 



The superstructure rests on an eig-ht- 

 inch concrete wall, which extends about 

 2 feet 6 inches above level of the house. 

 This wall is capped with a combination 

 cast iron sill and gutter. The gutter has 

 a large part of its surface exposed to the 

 inside temperature of the house, and thus 

 readily frees itself from snow and ice. 



Springing from the sill are the steel 

 rafters, placed 8 feet 4 inches apart. Three 

 lines of angle steel purlins on each side 

 of the roof equally placed between the 

 rafters secures a rigid frame and firm sup- 

 port for the bars and glass in the roof. The 

 steel framework is so designed that none 

 of the metal is exposed to the outside at- 

 mosphere, thus ensuring freedom from 

 damage by the continual expansion and 

 contraction of the metal, from sudden 

 changes in temperature. 



All wood used throughout is clear air- 

 dried Gulf Cypress. 



All members in the construction are se- 

 cured in position with bolts or screws, 

 which practically makes a portable struc- 

 ture. A glance at the illustration will 

 show you that the eaves are curved. This 

 feature adds a very graceful and attrac- 

 tive appearance to the greenhouse, and 

 also ensures a roof free from snow, as 

 there is no gutter or other member at 

 this point. 



Two lines of ventilating sash are placed 

 at the roof, and are operated with Lord & 

 Burnham Company's patented ventilating 

 machinery, which furnishes ample ventila- 

 tion under all conditions. 



The plant beds are constructed through- 

 out of cast iron, which makes them strong 

 and practically indestructible. 



The glass used in glazing is 16 inches 

 wide, of good quality. 



The Lord & Burnham Co. is an old and 

 well-established firm, and are to-day the 

 largest builders of greeoihouses in the 

 world. 



The Lord & Burnham Co., Limited, of 

 Canada, has lately been organized to 

 manufacture and erect greenhouses and 

 handle greenhouse supplies in Canada.
