m Of course, we both ad- 

 ^ luit that in the end, ce- 

 5^ ment sides will cost .vou" 

 1^ ;i s-'ood bit less than wooden 

 ^ ones. Once up, the.v are 

 ^ ui) to stay and you can 

 ^ forget about them for the ^ 

 SSI rest of vour life. 



Krum tlie illu>tration, 

 you see how the wrouulit 

 iron post is thoroughly 

 embedded in the concrete. 

 The sill can be of wood or 

 cast iron; but it does not 

 seem tiuite the thing tOf., 

 build :i wall that will last 

 lor ii lifetime :ind then 

 put a wood sill oil loj) of 

 it, that sooner or later is 

 lioiind 1o rot out. 



However, thafs up to 

 you— we will gladly sell 

 .'you either. 



Now let your eye slide 

 up to that cave plate. 

 "^ Notice the rugged strength 

 of that fitting (one on 

 Ciich side of the post) that ; 

 secures tlie eave plate to 

 tiie post. 



Notice the drip gutter 

 and the pipe that leads 

 otf all the condensation, 

 and spills it on the wall 

 wiiere it will do no harm. 



But before you entirely 

 make up your mind to 

 have one of our Ihilf Iron 

 Frame houses, let us take 

 a careful look at our Full 

 Iron Frame. It's shown 

 in our Sui)ply Book. Send 

 for it.

 Cheiri, is one of the many spring-llow-

 dled profitably in the greenhouse. The 

 double forms arc best for greenhouse

G inch or 7-ineh pots are rc(|iiired, never 

 iillowing the ]ilants to become pot- 

 liouiid. The soil should be a riidi, heavy 

 Iniiin. WalKlowers, like stocks, should 

 he ]i(dted (luite lirmly. 



When the pots aie fairly well filled 

 with loots, which should be along in 

 September, they niny bo given, for a 

 few \ve(d<s only, a we(d<ly a]iplicat ion 

 of ililiited litjuid manure. When the 

 cool weather comes, they shoubl be 

 jdaced in a tem]ieraturo of li> to 4.") de- 

 grees until about six or eight weeks 



liefore the required flowering period. 

 The plants, even when not growing 

 vigorously, should never be allowed to 

 liecoinc dry. or they will lose their 

 leaves. To brincr the plants into flower, 

 phice them in a temperature of 50 to 55 

 degre(>s. Syringe every bright day to 

 keep the foliage in a healthy condition. 

 Fiimigating once in three weeks will 

 kee)! the jdants free from aphis.

 tailer, who tired of the advantages 

 taken of his Avillingness to let anyone

 the transmitter, on which was printed 

 the following suggestion: "Brevity is
