To make a four sash frame then, we will want four 10 inch boards 14 feet long, one of which must be cut in two equal parts to form the end pieces.

Besides this, to secure a strong frame it is better to have at each corner a piece of 2x4 scantling, to which the boards are nailed. Let the end boards project 2 inches above the side pieces to hold the sash in place. Then fasten a strip 3 inches wide and i inch thick to each side and to the upper end on a level with the topand bottom boards. This forms a slide upon which the sash rests. Thus we have a homely frame styles of frames, which for certain pur- poses will be found very useful. For example, the upper one shows a span shape ; that is, it has sash slanting each way and hinged at the top. Such a minature greenhouse, for summer use, will be found convenient for growing Chinese primroses, cinerarias, calceola- rias, cyclamen and similar plants, even azaleas, provided there is height enough, will do finely. In the lower right hand corner is a very modest affair and just the thing to construct for the children's garden.
