PETER HENDERSON & CO.— REQUISITES. 



COLD FRAME AND PIT. 



Already fitted for putting together by purchaser. When set up is of the 

 following dimensions, 5% feet wide x 9 feet long x 2% feet high at back x 1 

 fool in front. The frame and sash will come all " knocked down " and one 

 box of glass, so transportation charges are light. 



The advantages of a cold frame to all who grow flowers and vegetables 

 are inestimable. Tee plants of fall sown seeds of Pansies, Forget-me-nots, 

 Bellis, Cowslips, Auriculas, and many other almost hardy things can be 

 wintered over and make far finer flowers than by any* other method. 

 Bulbs of Hyacinths, Tulips and Lilies can be kept in pots in a frame of 

 this kind and be brought in the house at intervals throughout the winter. 

 The coolness induces a growth of roots without exciting the tops into 

 growth, and thereby insures a perfection and luxuriance of bloom and 

 growth not obtained in any other way. Plants such as Roses, Carnations. 

 Azaleas, Violets, etc. can be kept over winter or can be brought in the 

 house during the winter for blooming.

steamers, $ 1 O.OO.
