FACTORY VERSUS GREENHOUSE. 



The Pierce Arrow Motor Car Co., of 

 liiiffaJo. X. Y., is building new shops 

 m that city, and are installing window- 

 .ipening macliinery throughout. Tlie in- 

 teresting i>art of this to most growers is 

 The comparison of the number of ven- 

 tilator machines, liftings, etc.. that go 

 into tliis job and in the average size of 

 urrc.nhouire. There are 1,490 sashes that 

 ventilate in this new automobile plant. 

 :ind it requires 2,980 arms and rods, and 

 \3o machines to operate them. It is 

 necessary to use 1-inch and 114-infl' 

 shafting throughout, and to support this 

 .^liafting 1,940 hangers are required. 



A special gear box and driving device 

 were designed for this job, but with a 

 view toward greenhouse needs, however, 

 and the King Construction Co., who are 

 doing the work, will probably use this 

 )iew ventilating machinery in some of the 

 larger greenhouses that are to be erected 

 liy them. ^__ 



RULE FOR PLANTING CANNAS. 



From a foot to a foot and a half each 

 way is the proper distance apart for 

 .anna plants, according to the vigor of 

 the plant. If you have a round bed, 

 «tart with one plant in the center, put 

 six in the first circle surrounding this 

 center plant, and for each subsequent 

 row increase the number of plants by 

 six. If the rows and the plants in the 

 rows are equal distances apart, this rule 

 is a never failing one for circular beds, 

 whether the planting distance be six 

 inches or two feet. 



After the plants begin to make rapid 

 growth they should never be allowed to 

 become drv. They are great lovers of 

 moisture, "but the National Council of 

 Horticulture says the supply of water 

 should be in accordance with the heat. 

 De not be lavish in watering when the 

 temperature is below 60 degrees, or be- 

 fore the plants have reached a stage of 

 active growth.
