Metropolitan Greenhouses 



Thorough In Every Particular 



The three things of utmost importance 

 after signing the contract to build a 

 greenhouse, are Quality, Speed and Econ- 

 omy. This is a basic truth and abso- 

 lutely essential to the success of any 

 greenhouse building operation. 



Our organization is letter-perfect down to 

 the minutest detail. 



Along with many other prominent Metro- 

 politan Greenhouse owners, Mr. Martin 

 Metzner, for whom we built the above 

 greenhouse on his estate at Lake Ronkon- 

 koma. Long Island, will verify our claim 

 that we are capably equipped to build sat- 

 isfactorily, rapidly and economically.

returns. One flow should be upon each 

 plate and the other about two feet 

 below the ridge. One coil of four re- 

 turns may be placed as a horizontal 

 coil on each side wall, or, if more con- 

 venient, they may be under the aide 

 benches, eight to twelve inches below 

 the bench bottoms. The other return 

 pipes should be under the middle bench. 

 In case the end of the house is much 

 exposed, the middle flow pipe may be 

 extended to the end wall and two re- 

 turns taken off to run in either direc- 

 tion to the corners of the house and 

 thence along the side 'wtlHs.' This
