Siebrecht & Son's Patent Greenhouse Shading. 
The most satisfactory sliading ever used; never gets out of order; lasts as long as a good greenliouse. 
How It is nade and Operated. — The shading is made of slats, which are of the beat clear wood ; it is 
arranged in sections, either or 8 feet wide, but can be made of any width and length to suit size of 
roof. Thes(! slats are fastened together very substantially with galvanized wire bands and rings. The 
chain-like fastenings are from ]G 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 liighest point to be sliaded, and where, 
by moans of a pulley and line, it is easily rolled up and down at whatever distance desired. It can be 
operated inside or outside of.tho house. It will protect your glass from hail storms, and your plants from 
the intense lieat in summer, and from severe cold in winter ; does not got out of order; does not destroy 
paint, putty or glass, as is the case with the old-fashioned method of white-wash or paint. It gives your 
house an even and cooling sliado, and a neat appearance. It can be rolled up and down at will, wliich is a 
great advantage, especially when the short, dark days come, and only a little shading is needed. Estimates 
given on application.
