Taking A TIP from mod.

Taking A TIP from mod
U est British home surround
ings, many of us could build
and enjoy a vest-pocket
greenhouse of the type
shown here.
On a recent trip to Eng
land, the writer noticed that
in factory towns. in COM
munities near large cities
where row houses are the
rule, a large percentage of
back yards contained small
greenhouses. Some are very
small, depending, no doubt,
on the owners finances and
the degree of his interest in
flower and food plants. All
have light metal framing,
owing to the meager supplies
of lumber. When not resting
directly on the ground, they
are set on a low masonry
foundation.
The reason for their prev
alence is the short British
growing season, plus the fact
that most Englishmen are
born gardeners. In growing
tomatoes there, for instance,
one must start seeds in a fiat,
as we often do, but then he
must also be prepared to
bring his bearing plants into
the greenhouse for ripening,
or grow them there all year.
Hondymon Job
In our case the urgency
isn't there. But. what per-
son interested in gardening
wouldn't like to have a little
greenhouse providing a bit
Of color during gray winter
months?
A handyman or a do-it-
yourselfer shouldn't have
too much trouble with the
construction. The one shown
on this page is approximate
ly 6 by 8 feet, with 5-foot
high sidewalks (some in Eng
land are even smaller), so
that the cost of materials
shouldn't be prohibitive.
The north end, in this
case, abuts an opening in
another building; a garage,
storage shed or the south
side of a house where an en-
