walls being of solid brick lined with hol- 

 low brick, on which is first placed a 

 i^-inch coat of Portland cement with a 

 waterproof compound mixed in it. On 

 this is put a casing of 2-inch compressed 

 sheet cork, finished with a top coat of 

 J^-inch Portland cement, as before. The 

 ceiling is made of double boarding, with 

 paper between and a filling of 8-inch 

 granulated cork, packed solid. The cool- 

 ing is done by two bunkers of the form 

 which has proved so satisfactory at 

 Edgely, and each can hold ^^'^Mftit'^"" of 

 ice. It is estimated that two tons 

 weekly will cool each room in the hottest 

 weather and give ice for packing. 



Adjoining the cooling rooms, but sepa- 

 rated by a 4-foot passage, will be built 

 a corridor or connecting house, of the 

 new King type, forty feet wide, joining 

 the office department with the present 

 large house and also with ■ the one now 

 going up and with all future houses. It 

 will be possible then to go over the en- 

 tire plant without going outdoors, ex- 

 cept for a reach of twenty-five feet to 

 the carnation range. ^'■ 



The water supply is also getting some 

 attention. A dam is being built to feed 

 the manure tank with gravity supply and, 

 in case of failure of the stream in hot 

 weather, an artesian well is to be sunk 

 adjoining the tank, to use a fine spring 

 struck there. The present dam is to be 

 deepened to hold 2,500,000 gallons of 

 water, to be drawn on in dry times, for 

 forcing water through the houses. There 

 will be no tank on a tower. 



The house now going up wiU be 172x 

 700, covering about three acres. It will 

 be thirty-six feet high. Four carloads 

 of pipe were required for the heating 

 and purlin construction and another car- 

 load for the trusses. In other words, 

 eleven miles of pipe will be used for 

 the heating alone, and twelve miles ^for 

 the roof frame. Six cars of'felass/'of 

 500 boxes each, will be needed, the glass 

 being machine made, 16x24, laid the 

 24-inch way. Three full cars of mill- 

 work are delivered, of which over 4,000 

 bars will be required for the roof. The 

 small parts of the ironwork will likely 

 reach the 100,000 mark. All heating 

 will be done from the roof,, sixteen inches 

 from the glass. The house will be laid 

 out next season, possibly in narrow beds
