 -every year. If Bonic of the Kreenliou»<: 

 owners actually knew how much new 

 Klnhs Is biillt in the rnilod States diir- 

 InK a year they would Imaplnt' that It 

 would be impossible to sell the produrt 

 of these additional houses. The fact is 

 there are several hundred country 

 towns in the United States of about 

 6,0011 population without a florist, wun- 

 out a Kreenliouse and without a vetie- 

 table Krower. There arc towns where 

 you can't buy lettuce in January for 

 love or money except on Satunlay 

 night, and where a bunch of roses 

 would be exhibited in the leading store 

 until they died if said bunch ever hap- 

 pened to get to the town. If It were 

 possible to compile statistics showing 

 opportunities for those who want to 

 build greenhouses, the facts would 

 startle us. If these opportunities were 

 taken advantage of. all the greenhouse 

 manufacturers in the United States 

 with present facilities could not turn 

 out the material in the next ten years. 

 The population of this country is in- 

 creasing out of all proportion to the 

 Increase of products from greenhouses. 

 "What the people need is education of 

 the kind that will lead them to pur- 

 chase the things that the greenhouse 

 ■80 wonderfully produces. — Moninprr
