TWO GOOD BENCHES.

 the inlerein-e is that they wer(! somewhat, 

 e\|ieii.si\e to build, liul thev are practi- 

 i-ally indest rm-tible. 



Bassett & Washburn Style. 



At Hinsdale, III.. Hassett .Sc Washburn 

 have experimented with pretty nearly all 

 types of bench construction, but have re- 

 lurnetl to a. style which f(wv others use 

 and which is thought to iiave been origi- 

 nated on tiieir place m.iny years ago. 

 They set peeky cypress |iosts and (ui toj> 

 of these run ])ecky cypress sii-ing(^rs that 

 are l'.\4, laid with the -1 inch side up. 

 These stringers are s[)aced just far 

 enough apart so that one of the ordin.-iiy 

 drain tiles just covers from center to 

 center of the insich^ stringers, cdiuiiig out 

 ilusli with the outside sti-ingers. On top 

 of the tiles a (i-iindi side board is run to 

 confine the soil. Tlies(i ln'indies are not 

 spe(-ially expensive. The drain tiles cost 

 if It to $10 ])er thousand and never wear 

 dut. The pecky (-y|)ress stringers do not 

 rot and some of those in use 1kiv(^ been 

 in the beiK-liOS for many years. Neither 

 do the posts give out; the only part of 

 the bench whicdi has to be i-eue-,\ei| is the 

 side pie(-es, which rot in time.
