The latest iK)sti)one- iMt'nt was to June 13 and 14, the exhi- I'ition being in conjunction Avith the June show of the rennsylvania Ilorti- 1 (iltural Society. ENCOURAGE THE AMATEUR. An elaborate example of the private ' iinservatorics the wealthier ])eoplc are \\out to build in connection with their liomes is that recentlv constructed for Kaniel Good at liuffalO, X. Y. As will lie seen by the accompanying illustra- tions, the conservatory is uni(pie in its >liape and in the manner in which it fits into a recess of the residence. Keeping conservatories of this kind stocked with jilants provides an outlet for much llorists' stock, as the owners rarely can jiroduce the ])lants needed. Consequently llorists, when they are asked by their well to-do ])atrons con- cerning conservatories, as they fre- quently are, should encourage their con- struction. The conservatory at the Good home fits into a U-shai)ed opening made by the dining-room on the oiie side and the main hall and music room on the other. It is thirty feet long and twenty feet wide, with a semicircular bay of a 9- foot radius. The construction is of gal- vanized steel members, with coi)per gut- ters, and the wood is especially selected for its fine grain and susceptibility to linish. The glass is all i^-inch polished plate. Many of the roof lights are bent two ways, each taking a separate tem[tlate. Special treatment was given the roof glass to make it Over tlio whole roof lieavy snow guards have been placed. The interior is done priiicifially in ivory white, to conform with the colo- nial effect in the dining-room
