COLD FRAME AND PIT. 



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

 the following dimensions, 5 J i feet wide by 9 feet long by 2'^ feet high 

 at back by 1 foot in front. The frame and sash will come all " knocked 

 down " with one box of glass, so transportation charges will be light. 



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

 are inestimable. The 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 broughtin the houseat 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.

 in New York), $10.00.
