The Flcdsts' Review 



127 



The curved eave and those special ventilating sash certainly do give the house a decidedly pleasing touch. 



Louis Dupuy's 

 New Show House at Whitestone, L. I. 



^i IS generally conceded that Louis 

 Dupuy is one of the leading plant 

 growers for the New York market. 



You will recall it was Mr. Dupuy who 

 first made a real success in this country 

 of growing greenhouse heather. 



At the National Flower Show last 

 Spring, it was his pot hydrangeas, with 

 their beautiful mammoth bloom heads, 

 that created so much comment. 



This curved eave house, which we have 

 just completed for him. will be used for 

 show purposes. , , 



When his customers come to look over 

 his stock, instead of their having to go 

 from house to house, they can step right 

 in the show house and make their selec- 

 tions right then. and there of practically 

 everything Mr. Dupuy grows. 



It's a distinct advantage to both buyer 

 and seller. 



Both photos were taken before the house was cleaned 



up or ttenched, but give a good idea of construction 



and general interior of the house. After Easter we 



will show how it looked full of blooming plants. 



The house is 35 feet wide and 120 feet 

 long. The rafters are placed about 12 feet 

 apart and JO-inch glass used. But one 

 column was necessary. The curved eave 

 adds to its attractiveness and lightness. 

 The side ventilation, with its specially 

 designed sash, is an effective touch well 

 worth the slight additional cost. 



The ventilating apparatus is of a spe- 

 cial close operating type, so the side- 

 walk is entirely free. 



There are several important new struc- 

 tural features introduml in this house 

 which we have not the room to go into 

 here, but we should be heartily glad to 

 talk them over with you at the National 

 Flower Show, if you will call around at 

 our exhibit. 



If you can't arrange to come to the 

 show, we will gladly correspond with 

 you on the subject.
