A DIVIDED VEGETABLE HOUSE. 



We are planning to put up a house 

 especially for starting early vegetable 

 plants, to be put out in the open ground 

 as soon as the weather will permit. We 

 make this our specialty. But we also 

 grow and sell some flowers and we want 

 to use the proposed house to grow all 

 the cuttings and flowers we can in the 

 first part of the winter, before needing 

 the house for our vegetable seeds and 

 plants. Our location is southwestern 

 Pennsylvania. 



We have two small greenhouses, heat- 

 ed with hot air. These are lean-to 

 houses, with a walk in the center. The 

 houses both face south. There are ven- 

 tilators in the highest part of the roof, 

 but none on either side. We find that 

 the plants are much more dwarf and 

 spindly at the wall than next to the 

 walk. We think this is caused by lack 

 of ventilation or circulation of air next 

 to the walls. And this is one of the 

 points I want your opinion on. 



We wish to build our house sixty or 

 sixty-five feet long and eighteen feet 

 wide, with an even-span roof. The 

 building would stand east and west, with 

 twenty-four inches of glass under the 

 eave on the south and twenty inches of 

 glass under the eave on the north. We

 grates, but the coal bums— it doesn't go into the ashpit. 



Send to us for the names of nearby growers who have used this grate a year 

 or more. They will tell you to order The Martin BooklnB Grate for the new 

 boilers to be put in this season. Write for catalogue and prices.

 ventilators also at the ridge. There would 

 be a partition near the center of the 

 house and the room next the boiler 

 would be used for groveing tomatoes, 

 peppers, cucumbers and eggplants, the 



second room for lettuce, cabbage, beets 

 and cauliflower. 



There are two reasons for having the 

 glass shorter on the north side — first, less 

 exposure to the north wind; second, be- 

 cause we wish the bench to be four
