Hoi-Bed, Sash and Frame, Compteiem 
For Violotm, Fiowsr Seeds and Early Vegotables. 
Having received numerous inquiries for a Hot-Bed Sash that was light, 
and easy to handle, we decided that it would be a good idea to construct a 
•iJ^ySash and Frame Complete that would meet the requirements. 
After carefully studying several designs we adopted the one shown in cut, 
as most desirable in all j)articulars. 
f ile 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 si.x inches wide, grooved together, and held in place by eight strong hooks, 
being fastened together by the hooks enal^les one to take it apart at the end of the season and store away in a 
very compact 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 man¬ 
ner. On the under side of 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. We furnish hinges and screws for attaching the sash to back of frame; also the hook and eyes for 
corners. 
In offering this Special Hot-Bed to our customers we feel that we have something that will give entire satisfac¬ 
tion and Avill supply a long felt want. 
Our i)rice for Frame and Sash complete is only $6.00 delivered at the railroad in Boston.
