 Here also are the only chrysanthemums 

 in the show. Several vases of the 

 standard varieties of carnations and 

 roses complete the display. 



Max Schling, New York, has one of 

 the most attractive exhibits, not only 

 in the trade section but in the whole 



show. It is entirely retail work. The 

 baskets of blooming plants are not only 

 well arranged but the color combina-

 miniature table decoration is shown in 

 the center and in the foreground are 

 vases of cut flowers. Mr. Schling will 

 change the stock from day to day to 

 keep the exhibit fresh.

 central and most conspicuous feature.

Building Material. 



Lord & Burnham Co., New York, has 

 an especially fine display. It is a com- 

 plete private greenhouse establishment. 

 The house itself is 20x40, of curved eave 

 iron frame construction, with a com- 

 pletely equipped workroom at the rear 

 and a round sectional hot water boiler 

 in a half basement. The 4-way piping 

 system is carried out to the last detail. 

 The worm gear ventilating apparatus 

 is where the visitors can try how easily 



it works. The benches are the cast iron 

 pattern and are filled with blooming 

 plants. Beneath the eaves are trans- 

 parencies showing private greenhouse 

 establishments and commercial ranges 

 the company has built. The exhibit in 

 its entirety occupies 1,000 square feet 

 and in that part of the hall space was 

 sold at $1.50 per square foot. 



Hitchings & Co., New York, have a 

 full sized section of a curved eave con- 

 servatory with their worm gear venti- 

 lating apparatus. The benches are gal- 

 vanized iron with slate bottoms. A 

 large line of greenhouse fittings is 

 shown and in the center of the house 

 is a Hitchings sectional hot water 

 boiler. The benches are filled with 

 plants in bloom, to give the effect of 

 such a house as the amateur might well 

 aspire to have for his own. 



The Metropolitan Material Co., Brook- 

 lyn, N. Y., has a section of an iron 

 frame greenhouse showing the same 

 space covered by one span and by two- 

 spans, the latter embodying a newly 

 patents iron gutter. The bars be- 

 tween the iron eave and iron wall plate 

 are held without nails or screws. A 

 new worm gear ventilating machine is 

 shown in three styles. There is an iron 

 frame bench with end supports for 

 string wires. A new putty machine 

 is shown, with one spout for repairs 

 and two spouts for new work. 



The King Construction Co., North 

 Tonawanda, N. Y., shows a model 

 greenhouse of its flat iron rafter con- 

 struction on concrete walls, embodying 

 side as well as ridge ventilation. A 

 number of large framed photographs of 

 commercial establishments and private 

 conservatories the company has built 

 hang on a screen that closes the back 

 of the booth. 



The Pierson U-Bar Co., New York, 

 has a conservatory of the curved eave 

 construction, with tile bottomed iron 

 frame benches, showing ventilation in 

 the concrete wall below the benches as 

 well as at the ridge. The house is com- 

 pletely piped for hot water heating. A 

 large number of photographs are shown 

 of ranges of this and other types built 

 for its customers. 



Means & Thacher, Boston, show 

 their Winner brand greenhouse paint 

 and putty, also the greenhouse con- 

 struction materials of the Geo. M, Gar- 

 land Co., Des Plaines, 111., for which 

 the firm is New England agents. The 

 latter includes the Garland cast iron
