When to Start Greenhouse 
Vegetables 
There’s plenty of time yet to start greenhouse 
vegetables—fact is, any time up to February will 
give you three to five months’ lead on the out- 
door garden. If your greenhouse were ready by 
the last of November, tomatoes planted from seed 
would ripen the last of March and continue to yield 
for a full four months. Five quarts to a plant is 
nothing unusual. 
Strawberry plants bought from your florist will bear 
in nine weeks, a quart for every six or eight plants. 
Those buttery string beans would give at least three 
crops. Then there’s cauliflower, egg plant, melons 
and cucumbers, with lettuce, radishes and spinach 
grown in odd places as sort of temporary crops. 
So if you get right at building your greenhouse, 
there’s a good bit of pleasure in store for you—but 
don’t put it off a day.

The space between is utilized for strawberries, while the bed itself is 
filled with potted foliage plants for borders in the Spring.

The Satisfaction of Knowing 
that your plans are under way for a greenhouse Is a pleasant thought, 
but the fact of their being in the hands of people who not only know 
construction but are keenly alert to the growing conditions best 
adapted to produce the best plants—is more than satisfaction—it is 
an assurance, a guarantee. 
If you want to grow roses, we can construct the ideal rose house— 
if it’s palms—we understand the creating of an artificial tropical con- 
dition not only as to heat but the right housing. 
We will not over advise you into building more house than you really 
need, but will so plan that additions can follow in the least expensive, 
yet ornamental way. Above all, you can count on pleasant dealing.
