. Dreer's Vegetables under glass . RHUBARB FORCING HOUSE OF E. J. FAUNCE, ARLINGTON, MASSACHUSETTS. [Building 31 x 2G4feet.] This is perhaps a fair type of the great rhubarb forcing houses in New England. They vary in construction. Some are heated and some unheated.

In the latter the rain finds its way from each sash to the ground below.
