THE TINGLE NUBSEKY CO. 



This shows one way to use this shading:. We stretch wires 

 over beds about 16 inches from ground. 



Woven Lath iShading 



Our woven lath shading is an efficient and economical 

 material for the protection of newly set rooted cuttings, 

 seed beds and small seedling transplants. It protects them 

 from the hot rays of the sun and strong and destructive 

 winds. 



The construction of the beds is simple. You can use nar- 

 row boards (4 inch) nailed on small stakes (2x2 inches or 

 1x4 inches), or you can do as we do. We stretch two wires 

 three feet part over a four foot bed (this will leave the lath 

 shading extending over each wire six inches. This makes it 

 easy to roll and unroll the shading without rolling off the 

 wires. The wires are placed about 16 inches from the ground, 

 thus giving the small plants plenty of room to grow before 

 reaching the shading. 



This Woven Lath Shading is easily handled, and when 

 not in use you just roll ?t up and store away until ready 

 to use it again. 



The laths or pickets are approximately % inch thick x 

 1^^ inch wide and 4 in. long and are woven with five double 

 strand 12^^ gauge galvanized wire, spaced about the width 

 of a lath apart, thus giving the small plants about one- 

 half shade. 



This Woven Lath Shading is painted with a solution of 

 red mineral oxide, greatly extending the life and use of 

 the shading. 



It is made in rolls of 50 and 100 feet, 

 handled by one or two persons. 



Can be easily 



It is also useful for making fences, to protect new plant- 

 ings of grass and shrubbery around parks and fields and 

 many other uses you may find for it. Can be easily rolled 

 up again at any time and stored in a small space for 

 future use. 



A little investment in proper protection of tender and 

 newly planted plants may save you many tedious hours of 

 labor, considerable expense and may even save you an entire 

 season's growth of your valuable plants. 



Why take chances 

 of sun ruining your 

 plants? You can get 

 over 3,000 plants un- 

 der 100 feet roll 

 when planted 4 in. 

 apart each way.

 vantage of using

 tinued dry weather.
