KING Greenhouses 
have a special type of construction which lends itself to graceful 
sweeping lines, and has great strength, without the need of heavy 
shadow-casting supports. 
They are as productive as they are beautiful, for every King retains 
all the practical features which have made good in our years of build- 
ing for professional growers.
