BARR’S NEW HEATED FRAMES 
FOR RAISING SEEDS, STRIKING CUTTINGS, OR PRESERVING DELICATE PLANTS DURING THE WINTER. 
HEATED FRAME A. HEATED FRAME B. 
Negretti and Zambra's Iron Thermometer, price 31 . 6d., should be purchased as an accompaniment. 
It would be impossible to over-estimate the importance of these frames to amateurs and ladies fond of 
gardening, who have no glass, or whose accommodation is insufficient to raise delicate or hard seeds, and to strike 
a supply of cuttings for the flower garden. Many heated frames have from time to time been introduced, but 
they were either too complicated or too troublesome, and were soon discarded. „ 
We have made simplicity the characteristic feature of our frame. It has a water tank, a hot-air chamber, and 
a lamp, but none of these are observable. The lamp simply requires trimming night and morning, and we 
use the best Colza oil. If the wick is properly trimmed, the deposit over the lamp is exceedingly tritling, and 
should be removed occasionally with a duster. Those who have a greenhouse will find this a good place for the 
frame, as it will answer all the purposes of a forcing-house ; or it may be kept in a sitting-room or any spare 
room, close to the window. Invalids will find it a source of untiring interest. 
The Illustration A is the best frame for raising seeds and striking cuttings ; B is best adapted for keeping 
plants during winter. Seeds may also be raised in it arid cuttings struck , but not so successfully as in the more 
shallow frame A. The leading gardening papers have spoken most favourably of these frames, but space forbids 
our quoting their remarks, or the numerous testimonials we hold expressive of the pleasure and profit resulting 
from their use. They have had the approval of some of our best horticulturists. We therefore feel that in 
offering these frames we are advancing the science of horticulture.
