This Photo Comes Straight From Newport 



W) T 'P-TOE up to a group of gardeners talking at some 

 ^ flower show, and wlien Newport Is mentioned 



you Invariably hear tliem say. "The place is dead; 

 absolutely no greenhouse building going on." Our 

 order book for the past ten years, however, shows 

 that scarce a season has passed that we have not 

 built some nice Newport jobs. Not many, of course. 

 Involving so much money as the .lames job of last 

 spring, but when all of them are added together they 

 make a nice tidy sum. 



Any greenhouse builder will tell yoii they would 



rather have live flve-thousand-dollar JoIjs than only 

 one for twenty-five thousand. 



Five satisfied customers do five times the satis- 

 faction talking of one — that's why. 



There's more money at the start in the big jobs; 

 but decidedly more In the end, in the little ones. 



All of which we are telling you so that you may 

 know that regardless of the size of your Job, Hitch- 

 ings want it. 



You know we go anywhere for business— or to talk 

 business.

Protect Your Plants 



IXSl'RE YOURSELF against loss by e.xcessive heat or cold 

 l)y using a Standard Recording Thermometer. It keeps a 

 •laily or weekly record and shows at a glan<e what the tem- 

 perature of your house has been any hour of the day or night. 

 It sliould be in the greenhouse of every grower as reference to 

 it may often tell what is wrong with a batch of ])iantK. 



The actuating element of the Standard Recording Thermom- 

 eter is of lamina metal which, besides being extremely sensitive 

 to temperature changes. Is practically indestructible. Record 

 charts are furnished either daily or weekly, and the whole 

 mechanism is contained in an attactive metal case fitted with 

 lock and key, which insures the record from being tam|)ered 

 with. The clock movement Is of extremely high grade: every- 

 thing about the instrument is up to the highest possible standard 

 of manufacture.
