GREENHOUSE EXPERINENT 



What Not To Do I 



■Interior view of Metropolitan Greenhouse erected 

 for Mr. Henry Butterweck, South Ozone Park, 

 Long Island, N. Y. 



In Building a Greenhouse 



which involves a definite outlay of money, 

 •no owner can afford to place his operation 

 in the hands of any contractor as an ex- 

 periment. 



We know what to do and what not to do. 

 And the owners who realize this fact em- 

 ploy us. Forty-four years at greenhouse 

 •construction has made us experts. 



PUT YOUR GREENHOUSE PROBLEMS UP TO US 



We go anywhere in the U. S. A.

SOMETHING for the 

 WINTER SEASON 



The days are getting shorter. Dark- 

 ness comes early. Before your work is 

 finished you are compelled to stop be- 

 cause you can no longer see. 



The ordinary barn lantern gives out 

 about thirty candle power; not much 

 good to work by. 



The American Regent Lantern gives 

 out 400 candle power, burns gasoline 

 or kerosene and costs about l/4c per 

 hour to run. Can be used very roughly 

 without damage and will not blow out 

 in a wind. 



It is a great thing to hang in your 

 boiler or packing room, for it lights up 

 the whole place, enabling all to do some 

 extra work, and it spreads cheerfulness 

 all around. 



Capacity 1 quart (burns 15 hours), 

 price $6.50.

"I have installed the Skinner Sys- 

 tem in all three greenhouses at a 

 cost of $60 and a few days' work; 

 and those $50 were returned to me 

 several times in its first year of
