12'x24'. This year it has been
enlarged to 12'x65'. Heated by
water, they started the fires about
the middle of March and now
have thousands of tomato and
other vegetables in all stages of
growth.
"We have tomato plants in
bloom with stems as thick as your
thumb. The cutworms will have
to sharpen their incisors if they
are going to cut through them,"
said Mrs. Hopson, as she rested
on a shovel while preparing
ground for transplanting. "What
have you in those frames?" we
Caked. "Asters, three kinds of
alyssum, petunias, wallflowers,
violos, well—what do you want?"
she asked. (We didn't want any-
thing that day, we were just ad-
miring). "Next year. we'll have
units right through to the back
street. they tell me," said Mrs.
Hopson.
Now greenhouses do not grow
by talking or waving a fairy
wand. It takes energetic people
like the Hopsons who are not
afraid of long hours and hard
work to make a success of the
business. This is whet is called
"private enterprise."
