Help Yourself-Take Courses

If you want to enlarge your field of operation you can learn to be a florist or landscape nurseryman by taking a correspondence or extension course. Nearly every state university gives extension courses; nationally known and advertised florist and landscape schools teach you through the mail.

These schools have prominent horticulturists on their staffs, and they stand ready to help with all of your “growing and selling” problems. One of the landscape schools is now adding to its curriculum a course in greenhouse growing and management.

My brother, a major in the United States Army, will retire at the age of forty-three. Looking ahead, he and his wife took a florist course. Upon retirement, they will build and stock a small greenhouse and open a florist shop.

Glass-House Gardener’s Club

Amateur greenhouse growers in Tulsa, Oklahoma, have formed a group which might well be emulated in other cities. They call themselves the Glass-House Gardener’s Club. The members exchange growing methods as well as successes and failures. This makes for easier under-glass growing for all and offers pleasant social contact, too.

you won’t mind the fact that most of the plants are only rent-paying tenants (or profit-making transients). You will enjoy these plant “guests” because they pay expenses and net you some profit too profit that, if nothing else, will permit you to enjoy your own plants without tight-budget worries. “Money doesn’t grow on trees,” you’ll find, but you can make it grow in a home greenhouse.
