The Disastrous Storms and 

 Cyclones of This Spring, * 



• 



which cauBed such heavy damage to the trade in almost all parts of the country, should no doubt 

 teach greenhouse builders some lessons. While seemingly nothing can resist a cyclone when it strikes 

 with full force, some styles of construction stood the heavy storms while others under the same con- 

 ditions have collapsed. We recommend in our construction to use purlin posts set solid in concrete 

 to withstand the pressure, and the purlins safely tied down to prevent the suction of the storm — and 

 no loss has been reported to us on any of these houses with exception of one case where the storm 

 picked up part of a shed from a distance slnd threw it on the houses, demolishing that part which was 

 struck. . 



We further recommend the Dietfech short-roof cOtastruction, which has no purlin posts, but the 

 corrugated-like surface which these houses present to the storm seems to offset the force of pressure 

 and suction and no loss has been reported to us whatever. 



At the same time please note that our construction, which has stood the test so well, is inex- 



pensive.
