Advantages of Large Houses 



We believe thoroughly in the large even span house for cut llower growers. Believe 

 in them so strong that we have made this little diagram just to show you our reasons. 

 To start with the single house (A) has the same amount of glass surface as houses 

 B-B, yet heated with less fuel. (\) has 26% additional air space — more uniform 

 degree of temperature and moisture — increased circulation of air, better ventilation. — 

 The greater mass of heated air is a protection against sudden outside changes — gutter, 



ridges, sash, header, roof of one B shades 

 other B greater part of day (see diagram C). 

 Last, but the one on which the entire mat- 

 ter really hinges, a saving of from 15 to 

 20% in fuel, some even claim 25%. We 

 expect to hear from you on this last state- 

 ment. Of course we build any form of 

 house you prefer, and would like to corres- 

 pond with you to that end. Send for
