Nothing could be added to this convincing proof 

 that King Constructed Greenhouses have won and 

 are winning on the merits of Proved Performance. 

 The success of Patten & Company as Carnation 

 Specialists is unquestionable. This success is due 

 principally to good business judgment. 



In 1917 they wore first sold on King Houses after 

 experimenting with other houses for years. Five 

 years of successful performance proved to them 

 that King Constructed Greenhouses not only pro- 

 duced more and better Carnations but offered 

 to them an opportunity of carrying out their pro- 

 gram of featuring the new and wonderful Pink Car- 

 nation "Natalie." 



King Pipe Iron Frame Greenhouses are built in 

 all widths, even or uneven span, and are used ex- 

 tensively by many leading growers throughout the 



Country. The posts, purlins, rafters and bracing 

 are all steel pipe and make a complete skeleton 

 frame independent of the woodwork. The pipe 

 posts are of a size depending on the width of the 

 house. Purlins laid on top of rafters are held in 

 place by special malleable castings and U bolts. 

 Rafters cut to uniform lengths and assembled with 

 strong malleable iron fittings. The well designed 

 bracing will withstand the most severe wind at- 

 tacks and snow loads. Close placing of the purlins 

 permits light sash bars. These bars admit maxi- 

 mum light and still possess ample structural strength. 

 For light, strength and growing features these houses 

 are unexcelled. 



King Houses are the leaders also in the wide steel 

 houses and the less expensive semi iron frame green- 

 houses. Write for descriptive catalog.
