‘This shows one way to use this shading. We stretch wires 
over beds about 16 inches from ground. 
Woven Lath Shading 
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 
ae 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 (2 x 2 inches or 
1 x 4 inches), or you can do as we do. We stretch two wires 
three feet apart 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 it up and store away until ready 
to use it again. 
The laths or pickets are approximately % inch thick x 
1% inch wide and 4 ft. long and are woven with five double 
strand 12% gauge galvanized wire, spaced about the width 
of 2 sath apart, thus giving the small plants about one- 
alf 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. Can be easily 
handled by one or two persons. 
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.
