Our clay is mined from the old Morrow County Beaver Swamp, which enablda us to furnish florists with 

 pots noted for strength, porosity, beauty in color, lightness in weight and smoothneaa in surface, making 

 them especially adapted to the successful growth of plants.

 house full of stock. We are ready to give all orders prompt attention. Give us your order and we will

EAVE PLATES ON CONCRETE. 



When the walls are of concrete or 

 concrete blocks, in greenhouse building, 

 in what manner is it considered best 

 to attach gutters or side plates of cy- 

 press to the walls? Providing the work 

 of mixing and preparing the material 

 is done under cover, can the wall mak- 

 ing be proceeded with in moderate 

 freezing weather ? G. F. B. 



When the wall is of grout or con- 

 crete, it is often customary to bed 

 anchor irons in it and clamp the gutter 

 or plate down upon it. Another way 

 is to set gas pipe post?, with a flange 

 itt the top which can be screwed to the 

 jdate, placing the posts ssjl or eight 

 feet apart. If small pipe ff used, the 

 posts are generally only one ]or two feet 

 in length, but it is well, especially in 

 wide houses, to use 2-incfl pipe and set 

 it in the ground two or three feet. 

 Sometimes, in small houses, no flanges 

 are used, but the pipes extend an inch 

 or so above thq wall and fit into holes 

 bored in the bottom of the plate. In 

 any case, the plates should be bedded 

 upon the wall with cement, and the 

 roof should be supported either by truss 

 rods or posts, so that there will be no 

 lateral thrust. 



If cement blocks are used, the wall 

 can be put up in freezing weather, but 

 it should be protected and given a long 

 time to set if laid up of grout. 



Stillwater, Minn. — Mr. King, who has 

 charge of the state prison greenhouses, 

 declares that he has added to the fame 

 of the prison by growing mammoth 

 lemons from the hybrid lemon-grape- 

 fruit tree. It is said that on one shrub 

 he has nine huge lemons. 



Syracuse Red Pots 



€L"A little pot is soon hot"; so 

 is a thin pot. Our pots are 

 much thinner and tougher 

 than others. It's the quality 

 of the clay. Write for our 

 latest price list if you did not 

 get one.
