Foley Iron 

 Frame House 

 erected for 

 tloseph Tlioniae, 

 Oreensbursr, Pa. 



This house is the latest addition to Mr. Thomas' range, being one of our Iron Frame houses, 34 ft. 

 () in. by '.)00 ft. The testimonial given by Mr. Thomas, as shown below, will give you some idea of 

 how superior is our construction as compared to the houses he had been building of an inferior type. 



" The frame is certainly the easiest and most simple to 

 erect of any houses we have built. The many visiting florists 

 who have been through the house join us in pronouncing it the 

 most modern and up-to-date house they have seen."

The Market. 



The cold weather the latter part of 

 last week caused trade to show a little 

 dropping off, but on the whole it is in 

 a pretty healthy condition. However, 

 Lent now is here and there is likely to 

 be a slight slump. During the week 

 cattleyas were abundant, but the sales 

 were slow, there being no special event 

 to create a demand for them. Carna- 

 tions are coming in poorly, d«e in many 

 cases to the long spell of dark weather; 

 yet good stock moves. Roses, violets 

 and daffodils have been moving first- 

 rate all the week.

 to accept it. 



FACTS ABOUT OUR CEDAR. 



Our cedar is all air-dried. 



Air-dried cedar weighs less than air-dried cypress. 



Cedar does not absorb moisture like cypress; therefore when ex- 

 posed it does not shrink, expand and warp as cypress. We con- 

 sider it the better lumber for sash, hotbed sash, doors and gutters. 



Cedar is not surpassed in durability by cypress or any other 

 lumber available for greenhouse construction. 



The best grade of cedar is not cheapef than the best grade of 

 cypress. We are using the best grades of both. 



We can support our above statements by the testimonials of 

 many growers who have been using both and know by actual ex- 

 perience.
