General Electric Automatic Soil Heating 
More than 10,000 commercial florists and gardeners are now using 
this advanced method which gives them positive control of plant- 
growth and, as a result, more plants, better plants, and the greater 
profits which are naturally obtained by having the plants ready for 
the highest-priced markets. 
In greenhouse benches, hotbeds, coldframes, etc., any temperature 
from freezing to 95 0 F. can be selected and maintained to produce 
desired plant-development. Beds can be installed whenever con¬ 
venient and put into operation merely by closing a switch. The first 
and the operating cost are very low. 
Equipment consists of special lead-covered heating cable and 
adjustable temperature-regulating thermostat. Standard unit cable 
lengths are of 60 feet on 115 volts, and 120 feet on 230 volts, for each 
36 and 72 square feet of bed respectively. Large beds can be equipped 
by connecting necessary number of units in parallel with thermostat 
to control from one to six units. Ask for publication GEA-1644C.
