BOTTOM HEAT 
ESSENTIAL 
GREENHOUSE CONDITIONS 
DUPLICATED 








NOW you too can start early 
cuttings, grow tropical bulbs and 
plants with the skill of the pro- 
fessional. 

I am offering for the first time an inexpensive electric heat- 
ing cable to be laid in the soil that will thermostatically 
control whatever heat you need to start and maintain in the 
winter time such exotic bulbs as the Fancy Leaf Caladium, 
Gloxinia, Orchids—not to mention the early starting of 
seeds, cuttings, etc. 
To show you what difference a little bottom heat means, I 
planted three flats of dormant baby Callas and left them for 
two weeks without heat—at the end of this period not a 
root or bit of growth was indicated. In 48 hours with bot- 
tom heat of 70° every bulb had set roots and top growth 
started. 
All one needs is a small glassed-in hot bed either in your 
yard or lath-house and follow directions furnished for the 
setting of the apparatus. It comes in two sizes, a 8 ft. 
x 6 ft. and’ 6 ft. x 6 ft: size:
