Engineers said "it can't be done" but the Dashwood heating specialist proved them wrong. Dashwo an hist Million liar Crop Report By D, H.

The Article was entitled: "Temperature Control — the million dollar ins ur an c policy." * * * "Man with a king-sized heat- ing problem„' is a very apt label that a number of heating m ell hung on Norman J. Scott, owner -manager of the nationally - known Brookdale-Kingsway Nurs- eries, Bowmanville, -Ontario. Bach winter up until now, Brookdale.Kingsway's head -ache has been the storage of Well over a million dollars worth of nursery stock—trees and shrubs—mostly stored in racks in huge'quansett- type "cellars". Nerve -Wracking Said Scott "Until we. managed to develop an equalized control- led temperature system, we were completely at the mercy of the weather. For four months of the year, we used to live on our nerves". "Sudden cold snaps had us running around in the middle of the night, starting fans, light- ing space healers, lamps, and anything else we could find that would keep the inside tempera- ture above the freezing point. In early spring, our problem was equally big, but in reverse. A sudden warm spell and we were again hopping around—this time to ship out car -loads of plants that would be ruined if they weren't in the ground in a matter of days." Background To show more clearly some of the problems facing any con- tractor undertaking the tempera. tura control at this location,, it was necessary to knew some- thing of the working background of the Brookdale-Klegsway Nur- series. Most of the plants sold by this ,company are grown right on their acreage at Bowmanville. Plants selected for sale at other nurseries, and private buyers, are left in the ground until fall. With the first frosts of the win- ter, the sap falls to the roots, wh6ri the plants aro said to be dormant or "asleep": At this point they are lifted from the ground. and stored in the nursery cellars, in hundreds of feet of wooden reeks, with the roots only surrounded by shingle shay • $249 GIANT Cork**.

Artificially stored plants, how- ever, require very rigid climatic control, covering humidity, up. per and lower temperatures and circulation of air. Fine Limits According to Norm Scott, who is generally accredited as one of the most successful and know- ledgeable nurserymen on the continent, a great deal has yet to be learned about the "sleep- ing" of artificially stored plants, "This much though," says Norm, "we do know!" "If the temperature in our storage rooms goes above .thirty•eight degrees fahrenheit, or below thirty-four degrees fahrenheit, for any prolonged period, the chances are that we'll be in serious trouble." "We're also in trouble if the relative humidity gets much be- low "Another thing; if the air changes are not suf- ficiently frequent,. we are faced with loss of the bulk of our stocks as a result of mould for- mation." ' 'While we were visiting the nursery, our guide pointed to small, insignificant -looking rack stocked with what, to us, looked like whittling sticks. The sticks happened to be number one rose bushes, and their value, in spite of their insignificance, was $i2,000. Because or. the essential- ly spoiling nature of the nursery business, therefore one other qualification which Norm Scott insisted -upon with any tempera- ture controlled system that was installed, was that it be "unit-. Ized". Rather than one central system, whose failure could jeoparuize over a million dol. tars worth of stock, a heating system was demanded which would feature a :number of local- ized heating units which would be protecting only limited areas and portions of the sleek. In essence, Norm Scott felt that such a system would act as an effective insurance policy for his wintertime operations. No Precedent Visits to numerous other eurs. cries failed to uncover a tem- perature control 'system winch would fit straight m to, or even be adapted to fit, brookdate- Kingsway's own requirements. There was no preceuent or ex. ample ou which to go, so Scott approached a number of heat. Ing engineers with his problem, At first, none et teem would touch IL Most ,Of them felt, that the project was out of their league, it was expressed by a number .of them that no effective climatic control system could be devised for his specific require - meet, Finally, Norm Scott came up with one man who agreed to ex- piore the pratticability of a climate control system—Lorne Kleinstiver of Kleinstiver Plumb- ing .end Heating, Dashwood. Britt discussion between, the two nice established that wet heat ‘vould be quite .out of the question here.
