Double Glass Hot Bed Sash 
Straw Hot Bed Mat 
Two sashes in one frame, doing away with the extra mat and 
board covering which must be used in this section during our 
severe winter, if one is to be sure of plants growing in Hot Bed 
or Cold Frame. 
The double layer of glass % inch apart, provides dry air 
space, which is the best non-conductor known, and while acting 
as a protecting mat or blanket, lets in the sun with its heat 
rays. Our sash is all puttied into the frame, which is made of 
the very best material and well painted and the standard 3x6 
size; lights of glass, 10 x 12. 
Price: per single sash, $5.00; 5-sash at $4.85 each; 10-sash 
and over; $4.75 each; crated and delivered to railway station 
or express, Boston. Crating extra at cost. 
Single Glass Sash for Hot Beds or 
Cold Frames 
Crating Extra at Cost 
Made from thoroughly seasoned lumber. Frame well puttied 
and painted, I ’4-inch stock; glass, 8 x 10. The best sash 
offered today in Boston. 
Price: Single sash, $4.00 each ; 5-sash or over, $3.75 each. 
Hot-Bed, Sash and Frame complete for 
Violets, Flower Seeds and Early 
Vegetables 
The outside dimensions of Frame are three feet one inch 
long, and four feet eight inches wide, made of one inch 
Cypress; the back piece is nine inches wide and the front 
piece is six inches wide, grooved together, and held in place by 
eight strong hooks. 
Being fastened together by the hooks enables one to take it 
apart at the end of the season and store away in a very com¬ 
pact form, which we consider an essential feature, as by so doing 
the frame may be made to last for years. 
The Sash is also made of Cypress of one and one-half inch 
stock, put together and glazed in the very best manner. On the 
under side of the Sash is fastened a cleat, one inch from the 
outer edge, all around, thus forming a rabbet which makes the 
frame very tight, preventing the cold air from entering or the 
heat escaping. 
The construction of the frame is so simple that any one with 
a hammer and screwdriver can put it together in a few minutes. 
In offering this Special Mot-Bed to our customers we feel 
that we have something that will give entire satisfaction and 
will supply a lcng felt want. 
Our price for Frame and Sash complete is only $6.50 
delivered at the railroad in Boston.
