BARR'8 NEW HEATED FRAMES 



f 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 accomrtiodation is limited. Every amateur knows how difficult it is to raise delicate 

 and hard seeds, and to strike a supply of cuttings for the flower garden, if he does not possess a suitable hot-house. 

 To meet this want, heated cases have from time to time been introduced. The Waltonian, for instance, was too 

 complicated ; Miss Mailings' was too troublesome. Consequently they were soon discarded. 



In the present instance we have made simplicity the characteristic feature of our case. It is manufactured of 

 galvanized iron, japanned green, and placed on a stand. There is 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 replenishing with oil ; and 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. At present we have three of these in constant use at our warehouse, testing the 

 growing qualities of seeds we are about to send out. Calceolaria and Primula — two e.\ceedingly delicate seeds — 

 we raise freely ; while Acacia and Canna — two of the hardest seeds to get up — germinate freely in the case ; and as 

 regards attention, a boy attends to the lamps night and morning. These cases have been in operation since their 

 introduction in the spring of 1869, and we have never discovered any disagreeable smell from the lamps, as we 

 make a point of burning the best Colza oil, and the deposit over the lamp is so trifling, that it simply requires to 

 be removed once a week or so with a duster. Those who have a greenhouse will find this 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. 



The Illustration A represents the case best suited for raising seeds and striking cuttings ; B is the style of 

 case, from its greater depth, best adapted for keeping plants in during winter. Seeds may also be raised in it and 

 ■uttings struck, but not so successfully as in the ?nore shallo^u case A. They are manufactured in three 

 sizes, and the illustrations represent the largest and the smallest. They can be packed to travel to any part of the 

 country safely. In conclusion, we may just mention that the leading gardening papers have spoken most favour- 

 ably of them.. Space forbids our quoting their remarks, and we may also add that they have had the approval of 

 some of our best horticulturists, so that in offering these cases we feel we are advancing the science of horticulture,

Barr's elegant Albert Cases, page 42 of Bulb Catalogue, can be heated the same as the above, and 

 as they are of various sizes, to accommodate large and small window recesses, they constitute an elegant 

 conservatory In the sitting-room.
