BARR'S NEW HEATED FRAMES 



FOR RAISING SEEDS, STRIKING CUTTINGS, OR PRESERVING DELICATE PLANTS DURING THE 



WINTER MONTHS. 



CASE A. CASE B. 



It would be impossible to over-estimate the importance and usefulness of these frames to amateurs and ladies 

 fond of gardening, whose glass accommodation is limited. Every amateur knows how difficult it is to raise delicate 

 or hard seeds, and to strike a supply of cuttings for the flower garden, if a suitable hot-house is not possessed. 

 To meet this want, many heated cases have from time to time been introduced, but they were either too compli- 

 cated or too troublesome. Consequently they were soon discarded. 



We have made simplicity the characteristic feature of our case, being manufactured of galvanized iron 

 japanned green, and placed on a stand. It has a water tank, a hot-air chamber, and a lamp, but none of these 

 are observable when the case is at work. The lamp simply requires trimming night and morning, and re- 

 plenishing with oil ; this is done by one of our boys. We use the best Colza oil. To give an idea of the value 

 we put upon these cases ourselves, we test the growth of nearly all our seeds in them, although we have a forcing- 

 house specially for that purpose ; but we find the cases do the work far better, especially with such delicate seeds as 

 Primula, Calceolaria, etc. , and such hard seeds as Acacia, Canna, etc. We have had these cases in continual 

 operation since their introduction in the spring of 1869, and we have never experienced any unpleasant smell from 

 the lamps, nor have had any difficulty with them. If the wick is properly trimmed, the deposit over the lamp 

 is exceedingly trifling, and from time to time should be removed with a duster. Those who have a greenhouse will 

 find it a good place for the case, where it will answer all the purposes of a forcing-house ; and for those who have 

 not, the sitting-room or any spare room will do. Invalids will find it a source of untiring interest if they love 

 gardening.
