Lord ic Ijurnham Co., Now York, had 

 a model pipe frame house of such size 

 that every part could be closely in- 

 specteil. It embodied the giant arch 

 with V shaped truss, wide si)ace in cen- 

 ter between the two posts used in a 

 28-foot house; concrete walls, witii real 

 wrought iron flat posts partly eiiibod 

 ded, carrying the shaft for a side venti- 

 lator that occupies so little space iliiit 

 no part projects beyond the heating 

 coils hung on the wall, the sash hingt'd 

 directly to the ea\ c plate. .V No. :io 

 sectional boiler exhibited was sohl to 

 Asher M. Coe; with it was an extra 

 section to show the hub connect ioii 

 where head room is lacking. A sec- 

 tion of cast iron bench was put ii]!. 

 curved eave (mmist rurruni 

 the curved bar is rein- 

 purlin to base; a leak 

 was sliown in llie bars. 

 An iron gutter carries ;i flange .along 

 the center, underneatii. so that a side 

 wall or partition may bo easily and 

 securely attached. .V line of pipe hooks 

 iiududed all sizes from one single to 

 eight double for all sizes of pipe. Two 

 ])atterns of swinging jiipe hangers ^vere 

 siiown, one with ice-tong cl.aws. M. < '.

 with sever.al assistants. A liaiulsoiiu' 

 card case with memor;indum pad was 

 given as a souvenir. 



Ilitching-i iV; Co., Xew York, who have 

 not exhibited for a number of years, 

 had a most interesting display, in 

 charge of J. McVrthur .and J. B. ,T;ud; 

 son. The new(>st t'eatiire was the Set- 

 ton double iiiiter-geared sliding sli.aft 

 ventilating apparatus as ajiplied to the 

 side of a grcenlionse: the shaft does 

 not turn, it slides; the arms are double 

 action and do not ]protrude into the 

 walk. A full sized section of ;i iionse 

 twenty-eight U^ot wide (Ui one side 

 showed tjie c-nrxed cave coii-t met inn. 



with 2-1-iiich glass, ;ind on the other 

 the angle iron ea\i' plate with IG-iuch 

 glass. The eiirxcd bar is reinforced 

 with an inset ot metal I'mm the purlin 

 to tlie cast iron sill, set on concrete. A

 lire-box boiler of a tyjie the firm has 

 sold I'or sixty y(>ars. A large frame 

 siiowed at a glance various details of 

 coiistiiu-tion, including twelve types of 

 gutter. .Another similar frame showed 

 all the di'tails of tlu? standard sashbai' 

 house. A third fr;ini(j carried a display 

 of photographs of notable greenhouses 

 the company has built. On one day a
