 WHITCHURCH VINEYARD. BRISTOL 



npHE VINEY RESEARCH NURSERY was founded to give growers 

 proof of the utility of Hj^droponics applied to Commercial 

 Crops, and to forward amateur effort. 



It sprang from the necessities of the hour and is the outcome of 

 that service and goodwill which exist between researchists 

 universally. 



It is in a position to advise intending growers on the best layout 

 of Tanks, Aeration, Heating and Circulatory Systems, Nutrient 

 Solutions and General Equipment. Their special requirements 

 can be adapted to both existing and new glass-houses. Supplies 

 and Tuitional Correspondence are available at reasonable terms 

 on application. 



Hydroponics solves the problem of how to increase the market 

 value of crops without increasing their cost of production. It 

 takes the slavery out of Horticulture; there is no weeding or 

 costl}'^ sterilising; no academic knowledge is essential; it can be 

 readily operated with semi-skilled labour and there is more time 

 available to attend to the crops. 



NATIONAL EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT 



Designs are available for H3^droponic Culture adapted to Siege 

 Conditions, suitable for Growers and Industrial Concerns, and 

 cheaper outfits for Amateurs and Backyard use. 

 Enquiries are invited for Field Transport and Horse-Pack Equip- 

 ment for suitable expeditions and cultural outfits for outlandish 

 places. A Hydroponic Yeomanry is a present possibility. 



THE HYDROPONIC FELLOWSHIP 



The Fellowship exists to give growers the benefit of our common ex- 

 perience and ensure the steady and safe development of the Industry 

 from within. 



In due course, those engaged in the Research and Practice of Hydro- 

 ponics will be invited to form a Representative Council as a prelude to 

 the founding of a Hydroponic Institute in the general interest of all 

 concerned. 



Public acknowledgment must be given to Dr. John M. Arthur of the 

 Boyce-Thompson Institute for Plant Research, Inc., Yonkers, New York, 

 U.S.A., who willingly collaborated when the pioneer sources withheld 

 their information. His timely help and spontaneous goodwill began the 

 Hydroponic Fellowship, which now has outposts in the British Isles, 

 Guernsey, and farther afield, through the publicity given to the efforts 

 of the Hon. Organiser by the Editors of The S?nallholder, the Guernsey 

 Weekly Press, and the Bristol Evening World.
