 Jackson & Perkins Co. is just com-f 

 pleting an immense new frost-proof 

 building for the storage of nursery 

 I stock. It is 60x160 feet. The walls 

 are built of cement blocks laid in three 

 separate courses, thus giving two air 

 spaces in the walls and thoroughly in- 

 sulating the building against both heat 

 and cold. The structure is a model of

 which it provides has been made 

 necessary by the company's increas- 

 ing business.
