. Florists' review [microform]. Floriculture. This sketch shows the shade cast by the ridge the gutter In a con- In width, and the gut- nected, or ridge and furrow house, at noon on the shortest December day. The ters 7% Inches, or single wide house the same width as the two connected ones takes no more roof more than twice as than the two narrow ones and you do away entirely with the gutter and the ^"y when and where much. one extra rldge. nnd we'll be there. When you consider that this was at one o'clock on a day in the middle of August, when the sun was high and cast- ing the shortest shadow, the thought of what that shadow Is, during the short days of December, when the sun hangs low, is certainly such as to make a man sit up and take notice. Not only will the shade be much broader but in combi- nation with the ridge the shadow is practically continuous, as shown by this line drawing. Mr. Burki declares that he wants no more connected houses. Such a statement coming from a man standing so high in the busi- ness and based on ac- tual comparative re- sults carries with it convincement. In addition to the shade side of this dis- cussion there are also the questions of heat- ing economy and im- proved ventilating con- ditions that unques tionably exist in the large single houses, both of which we would like to discuss with you.
