Texas Not Too Hot 



For Growing Year Around 



Greenhouse Roses and Carnations

"Any grower in any i'aut of the United States 

 who has idle benches, just because 'it's the 

 good old summer time,' " according to V. J. 

 Davis of the ( Jreenwood Floral Company, "is 

 losing money he might just as well make." 



He says Roses and Carnations can be suc- 

 cessfully grown right through the heat of 

 Summer. Located at Fort Worth, Texas, as 

 his company's houses are, he knows exactly 

 what he is talking about. 



He does, however, say that to do it and make 

 money you must have houses designed and 

 constructed with that in mind. Before putting 

 a dollar into greenhouses he did a lot of scout- 

 ing about, then between us we worked out a 

 house that gives him a temperature averaging 

 five degrees below the outside. Of course you 

 couldn't get that result with ridge and furrow 

 houses. You must have ample ventilation on 



both sides, at the ridge and in each gable to 

 insure a full sweep of air. 



You recall that when we first started building 

 wide iron frame houses there was a lot of talk 

 about their being so much hotter than wooden 

 ones. Some said the iron held the heat. And 

 it does. But the extra height of the ridge 

 with the distance the bulk of the iron mem- 

 bers are from the plants, more than offset it. 



If you can't exactly see why this is, you have 

 only to compare in the Winter time, the qual- 

 ity of the air in a narrow and a wide house, 

 first thing in the morning before you "open 

 a crack of air." One is heavy and lifeless. 

 The other buoyant and surprisingly fresh. 

 There is your answer. When you are ready 

 to talk over building one of our specially de- 

 signed, allyear-around money-making houses 

 — say when and where and we'll be there.
