Let George Do It 



DO WHAT? 



Furnish the Materials for That Greenhouse 



The above Is an exterior view of the four movable houses, 35 ft. by 175 ft., which we furnished Mr. 

 Stahelln, of Redford, Mich., last year. Mr. Stahelln was so pleased with the outcome of last year's experi- 

 ment with movable houses, that he has placed his order with us for four more movable houses, 35 ft. by 

 173 ft. each, to be connected to the houses built last year. 



WHY BUILD MOVABLE GREENHOUSES?

7th. 



The running gear and erection of movable portion 



of bouee cosis lees tban bencbee. 



Will last indefinitely. No bencbea to rebuild. 



CarnationB are planted in tbe spring in the place 



where they will remain all winter. This eliminates 



the work of transplanting in the fall. 



No changing of soil. 



Soil being turned over in the fall and exposed to the 



weather all winter, is in belter shape to receive a 



new lot of plants after replowing and manuring in 



the spring than soil hauled in on benches. 



The growth of the plant is not retarded by having its 



root system partly destroyed, as in trancplanting. 



(See cut.) 



The plant can therefore produce a heavy crop earlier 



than one grown by any other method. 



8th. 



9th. 



Plants can be allowed to stay out of doors longer, 

 which makes a hardier plant ; producing a flower of 

 superior quality. 



A more continuous crop can be obtained ; the number 

 of flowers picked each month varies but slightly. 



10th. In the old method flowers can be picked only for 

 about nine months, the plants being thrown out in 

 July to make room for the new. In the movable 

 greenhouses flowers can be picked for the twelve 

 months or until tbe frost kills the plant. 



nth. Have you ever noticed the abundance of stem rot or 

 wilting occurring immediately after transplanting? 

 This is caused by the plants being bruised in trans- 

 planting. This is something you do not see in 

 movable houses. What ia the space worth to you 

 lost in this manner? (See cut.) 



This cut shows root system partially destroyed 

 in transplanting. 

 This cut shows a normal root system. (See paragraphs 6 and 11. ) 



The above construction is especially adapted for the forcini^ of Peonies, Asparagus, Rhubarb, Grapes, Peaches, Etc 



If you intend to do any Greenhouse Building, whether you want movable houses or not, it will pay you 

 to write. Address,
