COLD-FRAME OR HOT-BED SASH. 



GET OUR NEW FREE BOOK: How to Make and Run a Hot-bed 



Some years ago we had a call for hot-bed sash and made up a 

 small order. Our wood-working facilities being most complete 

 we found it possible to manufacture sash of first-class quality at 

 a price slightly under that charged elsewhere for an article of 

 similar quality. Orders continued to come in occasionally, and 

 we finally listed cold-frame or hot-bed sash in our catalog. 

 Since then the demand has grown each year. 



We make the sash of regular size, 3 ft. 4 in. by 6 ft. for four 

 rows of glass 8 in. wide. Each sash holds 28 panes of glass, size 

 8 by 10 in. If any prefer larger glass we will furnish sash for 

 three rows of 11-in. glass at the same price. Sash ai'e made of 

 cypress and are almost impervious to decay. Sash are usually 

 shipped from here knocked down at a low rate of freight, and 

 can be put together by anybody, as they are mortised and tenon- 

 ed in the regular way. They are 1§ in. thick, outside bars about 

 2^ in. wide, and inside bars about \\ in. The bars are grooved 

 to slip the glass in place. 



Each season we ship sash in carload lots to large seed-houses, 

 and we have complimentary reports on their quality. It is both 

 interesting and profitable work to maintain a hot-bed, and every 

 one who has a garden spot should 

 build a cold-frame. We have prepar- 

 , ed a small book entitled "How to 



Make and Run a Hot-bed, ' which gives full directions for this 



work, and tells what crops are most easily grown. Copies are 



sent free upon request. Prices on sash are as follows: 



One sash, in the flat, for sample, without glass, 90cts.; 5 in the flat, 85 cts, 

 each; 10 in the flat, 80 cts. each; put together, 10 cts. each extra. Glass 

 8x10, just right for the above, $2.50 per box of 90 lights; 5 boxes, $8.30 

 each; 10 boxes, $2.20 each. Prices of glass subject to change. Get
