-»ifijfgigijiP.BSgr 





This will be found an excellent substitute for glass (at 

 one-tenth the cost) in protecting all kinds of seeds and 

 plants on which glass saslies are >ised in eaiiy spring. It is 

 safer in fact than glass, as it protects at night, while the tem- 

 perature is not raised too high during the day— as is the case 

 witli glass sashes unless great care is given in ventilating — 

 and being light and portable, it can be sent into sections 

 where it would be difficult to get sash. LIGHT GRADE, 

 mostly used in tlie South for tobacco beds and in the North 

 for shading greenhouses, per vard, 4V$c.; by the piece of 68 

 yards, 3>^c. per yard. MEDIUM GRADE, the best for gen- 

 eral purposes, per yard, 8c.; by the piece of 50 yards, 7c. 

 per j^ard. HEAVY GRADI5, water-proof and advised for 

 States north of Pennsylvania, per yard, lOJ^c; by the piece 

 of 4IJ yards, 95^e. per yard.
