PAYING HOUSES 



When planning for your new houses you no doubt wish 

 to erect the same so that in the course of time you have 

 the best returns from them. You want to consider the 

 durability, the convenience, the efficiency, and 



last but not least, the cost of the houses. Not one of 

 these points is overlooked in our construction. Write for our sketches 

 and estimates.

CINEBABIAS FBOM SEED. 



I have selected a few cineraria plants 

 of choice colors, in 5-inch and 6-inch 

 pots, and should like to know whether 

 they will make seed and whether the 

 seedlings will come true to the color 

 of the parent plant. Is it necessary to 

 pollinate? Should the colors be sepa- 

 rated, or can all stand together on the 

 bench! C. B.— Ohio. 



The cinerarias will make seeds in 

 abundance without pollination. It has 

 been found almost impossible to fix 

 the colors in cinerarias, especially in 

 the small-flowered stellata section. If 

 you want to save seed, place the plants 

 apart before any flowers are expanded 

 and place a fine piece of gauze or 

 cheesecloth over the plants to prevent 

 any pollination by insects. Even if you 

 do this you may expect to get a large 

 assortment of colors in your seedlings.

PLANNING A SMAU. BANGE. 



I have six city lots, each 50x150 feet, 

 making the total area 150x300 feet. 

 The long way of the tract is east and 

 west. I am planning to build a small 

 range of greenhouses on these lots. Will 

 it be as well to have the houses run 

 east and west as north and south? The 

 east and west direction is more con- 

 venient, on account of the way the 

 ground and streets lie. I am just start- 

 ing and I wish to build the range in 

 two sections, so I can have the boiler 

 between the sections, as shown in the 

 enclosed diagram. You will notice that 

 in the diagram the six houses run east 

 and west. Three of them, each 100 feet 

 long, abut on one side of the boiler. 

 The other three, each seventy-five feet 

 long, abut on the other side of the 

 boiler. In other words, the range would 

 consist of three long houses if not cut 

 through crosswise by the boiler shed.

fOR SKINNER SYSTEM aRNATIONS 



From one of our customers. Miller 

 & Sons, Toronto, Canada, we have 

 the following: 



"Our Carnations were so fine this 

 season that we showed them at the 

 Horticultural Floral Show, at To- 

 ronto, and we won the silver cup 

 against all the florists in Canada. 

 We know that it would have been 

 impossible for us to havedone it had 

 it not been for the Skinner Irriga- 

 tion System."

 makes little difference whether the 

 houses run east and west or north and

south. However, instead of building 

 the range in two sections, respectively 

 seventy-five and 100 feet in length, and 

 containing three houses each, with the 

 boiler house between the sections, as is 

 shown in the sketch, I would build 

 three houses 175 feet in length, with 

 the boiler house at the north end if 

 they run north and south, or at the 

 northeast corner if they run east and 

 west. It costs less to build and pipe 

 one long house than two of one-half the 

 size, and there is less waste room. Even 

 though only one house seventy-five feet 

 long is to be built the first year, I 

 would prefer to extend it rather than 

 build another house on the other side 

 of the boiler shed when more glass is 

 desired. T.
