The Barrie Forcing Frame 
The Barrie Forcing Frame 
Under these frames corn, cabbage, cauliflower, lettuce, 
cucumbers, tomatoes, melons, egg plant, etc., as well as all 
tender flowers, can be started and grown in the open ground 
and brought to maturity much earlier than usual. 
The frames placed over rhubarb or other permanent plants, 
either vegetables or flowers, greatly hasten their maturity in 
the spring. 
Lettuce, etc., can be grown under or protected by the frames 
through the late fall. 
Excellent for the starting of tender flower and vegetable 
seeds for transplanting into the open ground. 
The frames also protect their contents from the ravages of 
the cut worm. 
Placed over bulbs in the spring time, in the small garden, 
blooms of greater perfection may be had much earlier than 
usual. 
The frames are constructed of tinned iron, thoroughly pro¬ 
tected from rust by a special painting process, and can be 
instantly set up or taken apart without the use of tools. 
Any light of glass can be easily replaced, in case of breakage, 
without taking apart the frame, and the top glass slides open 
for ventilation. 
The metal frame weighs two pounds without the glass and is 
absolutely strong and rigid. The glass consists of four panes 
ic x 12 inches, and one pane 12 x 13 inches, standard sizes, 
easily obtainable anywhere. 
To assemble, fit the corners of the top and bottom squares 
into the slits in the ends of the posts. Pass the stay rods, 
bent end up, through the holes in the squares, inside the posts. 
Attach nuts and tighten slightly. Slip in the glass and the 
frame is complete. 
Carefully packed, knocked down, in heavy corrugated cartons, 
each containing six frames and glass complete. 
Price, $ 1.50 each ; $ 17.00 a dozen.
