Henderson's Electrically Heated Hot Bed Sash for Hot Beds and Cold Frames 



The age-old custom of making a hot bed with stable manure and 

 depending upon the uncertain heat producing ele- 

 ment of fermentation, with its accompanying mes- 

 siness and its all pervading odor, is now supplanted 

 with a modern scientific electrical, 

 sanitary plant nursery. Hereto- 

 fore the hot bed was always hidden 

 in an unseen corner of the garden 

 because of its unattractiveness. 

 Henderson's Electrically Heated 

 Hot Bed is not onlv efficient but 

 also attractive. It is neatly built, 

 painted with aluminum, and can 

 be placed near the house, as there 

 is no need to hide it. 



The electrical heating unit is 

 manufactured by Westinghouse 

 and carries the Westinghouse guar- 

 antee. It is so constructed that 

 the heat spreads out uniformly over the entire area of the hot bed, 

 which is covered with a regulation 3 x 6-foot sash. The heat may be 

 adjusted to suit the temperature and the automatic. Built-in Watch- 

 man thermostat maintains a constant heat without attention. The 

 cost of operation is very low. The average consumption of current 

 ranges from 1 }i to 2 Yi kilowatt hours per day. Based upon a rate of 

 3 cents per kilowatt hour the operation cost will range from 4J^ to 

 7 Y<i cents per day, or when extended over the period that the hot bed 

 is used, the cost of maintenance is less than the amount it. would be 

 necessary to pay for the manure to make an old-fashioned hot bed. 



When the seedlings are far enough advanced they can be hardened 

 by turning off the current, when it becomes a cold frame. Complete 

 directions included. 



Price, complete, $32.50. Electric unit only, $9.95. Purchaser pays 

 transportation.
