H that have been through the test of time, you would appreciate 
= that they were built of superior materials and you would find that 
1 even these older houses are more modern than many competing 
H greenhouses built today. 
i As a case in point, take the range of greenhouses built at 
= Froh-Heim Farms and illustrated here. When these were erected 
= several years ago they represented the very latest type of glass 
M structure, and even today they would appeal to many as being 
^ particularly modern. 
= Since that time, however, in conformity with our consistent 
= policy, we have adopted numerous improvements, such as the 
= Rust-proof Metal V-Bar Frame; wide glass (24 inches); everlast- 
§ ing slate benches: cast iron wall ventilating panels and improved 
H facilities for ventilating, draining and heating. 
M The Frame is exceptionally strong and compact, casting little 
§ shadow. This feature, combined with the wide spacing and ab- 
= sence of shadow-casting members at the eave line, permits every 
M available sunbeam to reach the plants. Glass-to-metal contact is 
= avoided, thus eliminating a common source of glass breakage. 
= The heating plant is vital. It is especially necessary, when 
= erecting a greenhouse on sloping ground, to have the heating 
1 system installed by experienced greenhouse engineers, in order to 
H be sure that the heat will be evenb" distributed and under perfect 
= control, 
^ We would be pleased to mail you further information about 
= these and other practical greenhouse features.
