PRICE OF OLD GREENHOUSE. 



I have a chance to buy a greenhouse 

 containing about 4,000 square feet of 

 glass, but would have to move it. What 

 would be cosidered a reasonable price for 

 it! Everything is in good shape at 

 present. The glass is about 14x18, laid 

 fourteen inches between the saahbars. 



The value of the greenhouse will de- 

 pend largely upon the material and char- 

 acter of its construction, the date of its 

 erection and the care it has received. If 

 fairly up-to-date and in good condition it 

 would be safe to allow, for the house 

 proper, what the same amount of new 

 glass would cost (after allowing ten per 

 cent for breakage), reckoning that the 

 value of the sashbars, sashes and other 

 parts that could be used would be enough 

 to pay for tearing the house down. 



The boiler, piping, ventilating ma- 

 chinery and other iron work, if in good 

 condition, could be taken at one-half its 

 first cost. 



AuBUEN, N. Y. — ^Dobbs & Son say that 

 stock was not equal to the demand for 

 Thanksgiving. 



Savannah, Ga. — Improvements costing 

 about $10,000 have been completed at the 

 greenhouses of John "Wolf, on Ander- 

 son street. His increased business made 

 necessary the addition of four houses, 

 each 27x150.
