GREENHOUSE BUILDING PROS- 

 PECTS 



In a communicatiou to HouTicoLTUiE 

 Mr. Sefton, president of Hitchings & 

 Co., gives us the cheery Information 

 that in commercial lines he looks for 

 immediate business in the improve- 

 ment of existing plants. He believes 

 that the experience just passed 

 through has brought to the attention 

 of growers the benefit of efficient 

 plants, more than ever before. The 

 builders are giving close attention to 

 the economical operation of green- 

 houses and are expecting a great deal 

 of business upon the lines of improve- 

 ment in existing establishments. 



As to private conservatory work, his 

 opinion is that the development of the 

 larger private places may be delayed 

 for some time, the excessive income 

 tax undoubtedly having a bearing on 

 the wealthy men, as to building large 

 greenhouses and other undertakings 

 which mean more responsibility and 

 expense of upkeep. Indications are, in 

 Mr. Sefton's judgment, that the fu- 

 ture of private greenhouses for some 

 time to come, vill be in the develop- 

 ment of smaller places, employing one 

 or not over tv>o gardeners, and say 

 from two to three acres of ground.
