bunching vegetables, has been adapted to new uses. While it

making baskets, mats, etc. Price, 25 cts. per lb.

Double Glass Hot Bed Sash

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. 
Straw Hot Bed Mat 
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 Hot-Bed to our customers we feel 
that we have something that will give entire satisfaction and 
will supply a long felt want. 
Our price for Frame and Sash complete is only $ 6.00 
delivered at the railroad in Boston.
