HENDERSONS MODERN HOT BEDS and Cold Frames 



Henderson's 1935 Model 

 Electrically Heated Hot Bed 





The age-old cus- 

 tom of making a 

 hot bed with stable 

 manure and de^ 

 pending upon the 

 uncertain heat pro- 

 ducing element of 

 fermentation, with 

 its accompanying 

 messiness and its 

 all pervading odor, 

 is now supplanted 

 with a modern 

 scientific electrical, sanitary plant nurser>'. Heretofore 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 

 only efficient but also attractive. It is neatly built, painted neutral 

 gray, 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 guarantee. The 1935 model is so constructed 

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

 which is covered with 2 half length 3 x 3 ft. 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 XYito 2 yi kilowatt hours per day. Based upon a rate of 

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

 7 J^ 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, $30.00. Electric unit only, SIO.OO. Purchaser pays 

 transportation.

 for advancing the growth of tender plants and protecting them from 

 frosts. Tomatoes, melons, cucumbers, egg plants, peppers and many
