Before putting a dollar into greenhouses he did a lot of scout- ing about, then between us we worked out a house that gives him a temperature averaging five degrees below the outside. Of course you couldn't get that result with ridge and furrow houses. You must have ample ventilation on both sides, at the ridge and in each gable to insure a full sweep of air. You recall that when we first started building wide iron frame houses there was a lot of talk about their being so much hotter than wooden ones. Some said the iron held the heat. And it does.
