What an advantage this would be in case of damage by fire or storm I How easy td add houses or ex- tend their length 1 Uniformity Without Monotony. This is not all that it would mean. Aside from the mere question of mak- ing or saving money on the materials, ease of erection, the natural simplicity of construction that would surely be brought about, and the quick and easy repairing, what a pleasure it would be to go about tne country and miss see- ing some of those horrid examples of greenhouse building! What a pleasure it would be to find every greenhouse or range neat and trim, spick and span, up-to-date and modern! How many failures it would help to prevent and how many successes it would really help to make! Don't form an idea in your mind that I would like to establish a standard for just one size and kind of greenhouse. No, no; don't get that impression, for it would be impossible, and if it were possible it would not be practical. It would end competition if all houses were to be the same, and the whole green- house business would become stagnant, just like the water in the old pond in summer. There must be several stand- ard types of construction and several standard widths. [Fig. II shows 34-foot houses that are so frequently called for as to approach a standard width.] The individuality of each manufacturer's product must not be changed, but be- come a part of the standardization plan—must conform in a general way only to the scheme of standard sizes. How to Begin. You are probably not aware of the fact that almost all of the greenhouses built vary in the pitch of the roof. Why should there be any variation for houses built in the same town,
