Some Just So Facts 



On Two Greenhouse Constructions 





Some say the Semi-Iron house is just ;is good a growing 

 liouse as the Iron frame. 



Others say, no house is as good as the Iron frame. 



• Perhaps you would now like to know what we think and why. 



First, as to tlieir coniDarative growing merits. 



With houses of same widths, uu to say :iO feet or so, we doubt 

 if there is much to be said of one that, can't be said of tlie 

 other. 



But wheniyou net beyOnd lliose widths, then tlie number of 

 columns necessary, increases more rapidly in shade casting! 

 than do tiie raf ter.s and angle purlins. 



In short, while one is diminishing the shade, the otiier as 

 proportionately inci eases it. 



Considered, lio\ve\er, from tlie cost stMndpoint, there is prac- 

 tically nothniij to conaicer. 



One is practically the same as the other, now that high grade 

 cypiess is so scarce, and the price so high. 



When we saw the cost of the Semi-Iron going up so niucli 

 faster than the Iron frame, we pronintl.v determined to design 

 an Iron frame, that would nii et the Semi-Iron half way. 



So weldesigned our Iron Frame Construction number Two, for 

 houses up to 10 feet w de. 



Beyond that, our Standard number One is the one to buy.. 



Number Two has the rafter space 8 feet 4 inches apart instead 

 of 12 feet 6 inches. 



The rafters and posts and eave plates are all three securely 

 bolte t together b.v a siiecial cast iron fitting placed on each 

 side of the post and rafter. 



The cost of the materials is only about 10 per cent more than 

 the Semi-Iron; but the erection co-t is fully 10 per cent less. 

 So you see the cost of both is practically the same. 



When it's up, you have a house that will stay up for nobody 

 knows how lung. 



It's just as enduring as our Construction number One, known 

 as the house of Everlasting Lastingness. 



We can do some ciuick work right now, when it comes to turn- 

 ing out materials or doing erecting. 



Let's talk it over, you and I, You say when and where and we'll 

 be there.
