Where our Plants 
are grown 
Hale, our Headquarters, where our Glasshouses are situated, 
is 9 miles south-west of Manchester, sufficiently distant from 
the city to escape the baneful effects of its smoke. Being at a 
considerable altitude, our plants have the advantage of growing in a clear and pure 
atmosphere, a condition that is essential to the proper development of their vigour 
and constitution. 
Our Glass Structures are all new, being erected about 6 years 
riacchmicpc a ff°> w ^ len we movec l our headquarters to the present site. They 
(I BSS OUSeS totgj 2 8 in number, are all span roofed and vary in width from 1 1 
feet to 23 feet. With four exceptions they are all 180 feet in length. A corridor 
house, 540 feet in length, runs along and connects the houses together along one end. 
3nmp N nu p| With a view to adapting our houses as closely as possible to the needs 
F naturae pl ants > ar >d to facilitate attention to them, several novel features 
have been introduced in our houses. A narrow gauge tramway runs 
along the entire length of the corridor, connecting with and running through every house. 
Our water supply is pumped by means of the Windmill to a reservoir on some high 
ground about half a mile distant ; from there it gravitates through a system of 
pipes to taps in every house. The system of heating is most modern, including 
overhead hot water pipes in several houses. 
All Invitation Anyone w ho ' s a * f° n d °f pl ants > or flowers, cannot fail to be 
interested in a visit to our establishment. In addition to the extensive 
Glasshouses, there are 400 acres of out-door nurseries. We heartily welcome a visit 
of inspection by anyone interested. If necessary, arrangements will be made to meet 
visitors at the railway station, on receiving an intimation a few posts in advance.
