Greenhouse Plan Number 64 



PLAN 64 is a most prac- 

 tical one for a bouse 

 of moderate size. It 

 is 50 feet long and 18 

 wide, having two compart- 

 ments or inside garden 

 plots. 



There are three benches 

 in each compartment; one 

 center bench 6 feet wide 

 and two combined side and 

 end ones, 3 feet wide. The 

 availiable gardening space 

 given by the benches is 400 

 square feet. A compart- 

 ment 33 feet long and 18 

 wide will grow 200 rose 

 plants, giving an average 

 yield of 5,000 blooms of 

 all grades. So you see a 

 greenhouse can do great 

 things for you.

The way we build our 

 houses makes them practi- 

 cally indestructible. The 

 frame work is completely 

 of iron. The benches are 

 of cast iron. With the 

 repair bill bugaboo elim- 

 inated from your green- 

 house, you are in a position 

 to enjoy its results to the 

 fullest. 



This Plan, Number 64 

 along with some sixty 

 others, is fully described 

 and interestingly illustrat- 

 ed in our latest catalog, 

 called: Some Greenhouses 

 We Have Built. If yo,. con-

 greenhouse or a conserva- 

 tory we want to send you
