Cyclopedia of American horticulture, comprising suggestions for cultivation of horticultural plants, descriptions of the species of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants sold in the United States and Canada, together with geographical and biographical sketches cyclopediaofamer04bail4 Year: 1900 2403. Stokesia cyanea (X ii). all. The foundation -walls are 24 thick, and the cellar is provided with ample ventilation by several windows, and also by means of a chimney that runs from near the middle of the cellar np through the roof. The floor is of earth. By means of careful attention to ventilation, this cellar can be kept at 50° or below during September and October, and is frost-proof through the winter. The windows are pro- vided with close-fltting screens to keep out rats and squirrels. This cellar will easily hold fifty tons of grapes in the picking trays. The first floor is divided into two rooms, the front one being a packing-room 25 feet square, and the back room a storage and shipping department 25x35 feet. This front packing-room is provided with heat and is lighted by seven large windows. The floor above the cellar is double and made of IK-inch matched pine, with an abundant air space between the two layers. This, therefore, pro- tects the cellar from sudden fluctuations of tempera- ture. The building is also shaded, especially from the afternoon sun, by large trees. This building can be erected in New York for about $1,200. It has 18-foot yp M .ad 2404.
