Excerpt from Greenhouses: Their Construction and Equipment In 1912 the author was asked to present a paper before the National Vegetable Growers' Association on the construction and equipment of greenhouses, with special reference to the vegetable forcing industry. Much of the data given in this paper had been hitherto unavailable and was based on an extensive personal survey of greenhouse owners and operators, supplemented by personal experience and observation. So great has been the demand for this data that at the request of the Orange Judd Company, the author has undertaken to incorporate it in book form. The present volume attempts a more thorough discussion of the subject than could be given in a single paper. It is based upon a series of lectures given before the author's classes. This is the second book, dealing exclusively with this subject, which has been published in the United States.
