SHOKT ODD-LENGTH ROLLS OF WIRE NETTING, AT 

 FULL ElOLL PRICES OR LESS. 



We have the following lot of wire netting- of vari- 

 ous sizes and widtlis in shoi't or odd-lengtli rolls. 

 Very often a person wants a piece and ran not buy 

 it cut from a full roll without paying double price. 

 You may be able to find in this list just what you 

 need, or very near it. Even if you want more than 

 a full roll you will find the prices at which we offer 

 these pieces to be in most cases less than full-roll 

 price. 



If any can use light 3-inch-mesh netting, 5 and 6 

 feet wide, we have a few rolls that we will close out 

 as follows: 

 2 rolls 3 in., No. 20, 60 in. wide, 150 ft. long, at $2 50 



2 72 " 150 " " 3 00 



8 " " " 19, 72 " 150 " " 3 25 



Of 2-inch mosh No. 19 wire, we have the following 

 remnants and short rolls at g c per square foot. 

 The figures at tlie left give the width in inches, and 

 the other figures give the length of each piece in 

 feet. Multiply this by the width in feet, then take 

 three-fifths of the result to nnd the price of each 

 piece.

SPECIAL SECTIONS AT SPECIAL PRICES.

three leading manufacturers. We ofl'er these, while 

 they last, at $2.50 per 1000; 2000 for S4.i50; 3000 for 

 $6.50, or 6000 for $10.00. At the rate they have been 

 going they are not likely to last long. When these 

 are gone we shall have none but our extra polished 

 sections to offer, and the No. 2 grade selected from 

 them in manufacturing. The sizes on band heie

 You may find in it something you can use at trifling 

 cost. 



IMPROVEMENT IN MAKING SASHES FOR HOT-BEDS 

 AND COLD FRAMES. 



We have just commenced making something that 

 I am sure will be hear- ily welcomed by all who use 

 sashes for plant-beds. One serious ditticultj- in 

 shipping is the high rate necessarily charged for 

 sash made up; therefore I have devised a sash that 

 can bo shipped in the flat, and that can be put to- 

 gether in a very few minutes by any one of ordinary 

 ability. For my own use 1 would put them togetli- 

 er with screws; but as screws usually cost about 5 

 cents for each sash, our friends who wish to work 

 with very «;lose economy can use wire nails in place. 

 If the wire nails are clinched on a block of iron, I 

 do not know but they will be about as secure as the 

 screws; and I think they can be nailed a little more 

 rapidly. Another thing, the glass slides in grooves; 

 and, if you choose, you can use them without paint 

 or putty. In fact, the glass is a good deal more se- 

 cure than where paints und putty are used. They.
