SIEBRECHT & SON'S PATENT GREENHOUSE SHADING. 
The most satisfactory Shading ever used. Never gets out of order. Lasts as long as a good greenhouse. 
How it is made and operated. Tho Shading is made of slats, which are of the best clear wood; it is arranged in sections, either 6i4 or 8 
feet wide, but can be made any width and length to suit size of roof. These slats are fastened together very substantially with galvanized wire 
bands and rings. The chain-like fastenings are from 10 to 18 inches apart, each section of Shading having a roller attached to the lower end, 
the other end being fastened to the ridge of the house or highest point to be shaded, and where, by means of a pulley and line, it is easily 
rolled up and down at whatever distance desired. It can be operated inside or outside of the house. It will protect your glass from hail 
storms, and your plants from the intense heat in summer, and from severe 
cold in winter; does not get out of order; does not destroy paint, putty or 
glass, as is the case with the old-fashioned method of whitewash or paint. 
It gives your house an even and cooling shade, and a neat appearance. It 
can 1)0 rolled u)) and down at will, which is a great advantage, especially 
when the short, dark days come and only a little shading is needed. Esti- 
mates given on application. 
LETTER FROM CUSTOMER ABOUT OUR SHADING. 
SlEBRKCHT & Son. Lenox, M.\ss., March .J.i, 1S!)9. 
Qeiitlemen—XWnw me to state that I have used your Patent Shuding for the last 
six years. It is without doulit tho most oxccllont iiatoiit tor sliading greenhouses I 
have ever seen, especijilly i'or t'oliimo phmts, orehids iiiul soiui-tropical plants. I do 
not consider unythiuf; bt'ttiM- or so useful, tiuralile and onuuuentnl. It is also more 
practi<':il tliiin any other Sliadinj:. especially for private Krcenhouse purposes. Itgives 
just llic very lij;la rcipiircil durin-i tlio suuuuer season, and all plants seem to enjoy 
this perfect .Shjuiinu. f>urinK all those years we have had lU) expense whatever in 
repairing your shades. They aro very easily luuulled. If cloudy weather prevails 
they are ^'ollod up, and full light is given to the plants- In stormy weather, such as 
we often have in midsummer, they are also excellent i)i'Otectiou to the glass from hail. 
They have given us excellent service and perfect satisfaction, and I can, with pleas- 
ure, recommend this Shading to any patron who needs a perfect shading. 
Very respectfully yours, 
J. F. Hdss, with G. H. Morgan, Esq.
