Gentlemen: — Three years ago I bjught of you too ft. of your Anchor Greenhouse Hose, and it has 

 been in constant use ever since, being dragged around our four greenhouses and we have a water pressure 

 of 90 to too lbs. 



Enclosed please find check for too It. more. Yours truly 



(signed) A. J. Binlev. 



Compare this man's experience with your own. Better send for a sample of this hose. 



iron gutters and iron posts are mostly 

 used and have come to stay. The eave 

 line, the weakest and most important 

 point about greenhouses, is taken care 

 of with the use of cast-iron nutters 

 and galvanized iron eave-plates. In 

 the iron and wood-work construction 

 we get greater strngth and more dura- 

 l'ility and less shade, and this style 

 ci sts very little more than all-wood 

 houses. 



In the use of iron about greenhouses: 

 Cast iron should always be used when 

 set in the ground. Cast iron is so 

 close to the natural element that it is 

 almost indestructible, and I would 

 say, always use cast iron in the 

 ground and at the ground line. 

 Wrought iron when used should be 

 kept well painted or galvanized. 

 Trussed houses, as planned by the firm 

 t hat I am with, are something new. 

 Houses of this style have been heard 

 of and been in use fifty years or more 

 ago. A great many improvements 

 have been made and special details 

 worked out for this kind of construc-

tion. all of which I believe are prac- 

 tical. One good feature about the 

 trussed houses is that we don't have 

 any columns in the way, except when 

 the houses are 30 feet or over in 

 width; then it is best to use columns. 

 Much lighter material is used in this 

 construction, making as little shade as 

 possible.
