FOLEY PIPE FRAME GREENHOUSES 



require no nails for attaching roof bars to ridge and gutter sills. 

 Galvanized ties and galvanized screws are used entirely. 



An 



Exclusive 

 Foley 

 Feature 



All Hcrew holes in bai's 

 aroaccmately bored at 

 factory. 



Greatly 

 adds to 

 Strength of 

 House 



A Our patented malleable iron bar bracket hooks over top of flange on channel gutter and is then driven firmly in 

 place with a hammer. No bolts or drilling of gutters necessary. Screw hole in roof bar is bored at factory. End of 

 roof bar is exposed, allowing free circulation of air; end of bar can be easily painted, thereby preventing decay. 



B Method of attaching roof bars to ridge. Galvanized ridge and bar tie below is screwed lo under sides of ridge 

 and roof bars. On top of roof a screw is driven through tongue of bar into ridge. 



C Galvanized sill and bar tie where wooden gutters are used. Also long screw through tongue of roof bar, se- 

 curely fastens bar to concentric sill. 



D Bars cut concentric principle, permitting condensation from drip grooves in bars to fall free of sill into drip 

 conductor, thereby preventing decay so commonly found where the old style bevel sill and bevel cut bars are used. 



The boring of the roof bars at the factory and furnishing galvanized ridge and sill ties with galvan- 

 ized screws eliminates the poor job and extra work which "toe-nailing" invariably means. Actual tests 

 have proven that this improved construction of ours is considerably stronger than the old way. 



This is not an experiment. It is just one of the many features which make the "Foley House" super- 

 ior to any other type.

The eleventh annual dinner of the 

 Nassau County Horticultural Society 

 was held in the Oriental hotel, Glen 

 Cove, January 23. Nearly 100 members 

 and friends sat down to a sumptuous 

 repast, which made one forget the high 

 cost of living for a while. The tables 

 were decorated with cut flowers and pot 

 plants. After everyone had taken good 

 care of the inner man and nearly every- 

 one present was enjoying his Eobert 

 Burns, President James McCarthy, with 

 a few well chosen words, presented to 

 James MacDonald a small present, as a 

 token of appreciation of his services as 

 president during the last year. William 

 Stewart, of Boston, Mass., was then in- 

 troduced as toastmaster for the evening. 

 Toasts were responded to as follows: 

 For the Nassau County Horticultural 

 Society, John F. Johnson; New York 

 Florists' Club, A. Guttman; the seed 

 trade, William Sperling; the nursery 

 trade, W. E. Maynard. A telegram of 

 good wishes from M. C. Ebel, of Madi- 

 son, N. J., was read and best wishes also 

 were received from the Massachusetts 

 Horticultural Society and the Horticul- 

 tural Society of Boston. Many of the 

 important nursery and seed houses in 

 the country were represented by mem- 

 bers or by salesmen. Among those who 

 helped to relieve the monotony of 

 speech-making by singing were: Messrs. 

 Ferguson, Twigg, Wilson, Jones, Collins 

 and French. 



At the conclusion of the most success- 

 ful dinner in the society's history every- 

 body crossed hands and sang "Should 

 auld acquaintance be forgot t" 



Harry Goodband, Cor. Sec'y. 



Kind Greenhouses 



KEEP SUMMER WITH YOU THE WHOLE YEAR ROUND, 



On account of their sturdy special construction, which permits of great 

 strength without the need of heavy, shadow-casting supports, these houses 

 are so warm and sunny that they are filled with a riot of bloom and fruit 

 when Jack Frost has stripped the garden of its beauty. 



The ventilating and heating systems are the result of years of experi- 

 ence in building for professional growers. Things just have to grow in a King. 



Write today for Bulletin No. 43. See how beautiful and how productive 

 a greenhouse can l»e erected for the price you want to pay.
