for transplanting into the open ground. 
The frames also protect their contents from the ravages of the 
cutworm. 
Placed over bulbs in the Spring, in the small garden, blooms of 
greater perfection may be had much earlier than usual.

FRENCH BELL GLASSES 
For growing all kinds of early vegetables or flowers out of 
doors and under individual miniature greenhouse. The plants are 
started early and transplanted out of doors. One of these Bell 
Glasses placed over them in the daytime, amounting to a miniature 
greenhouse, will protect them at night from the frost. It is a 
common sight in France among the private estates to see 50 to 
100 of the Bell Glasses scattered over the gardens, protecting 
plants in different stages. Heretofore we have always imported 
these from France. The transportation breakage has always 
been a drawback. This year we have made arrangements with 
a large glass manufacturer to have these made here and we are 
prepared to fill all orders promptly and ship from Boston or 
factory, thus insuring practically no breakage. 
Each $1.25, per doz. $12.00. 
HOTBED SASH o * 6 a.) 
DOUBLE GLASS. Two layers of glass with the dead air space

them through the two layers of glass. These sash are made of
