Nails rusted oft — rooi bars rotted out. 



This Will Never Happen to 

 Your House If We Build It 



It's just the natural result of wooden eaves, nailed 

 on roof bars and wooden posts. There's no 

 wooden frame house that will stand a fraction the 

 time that the Hitchings Iron Rafter house will — 

 not to mention the difference in the amount of light 

 that actually reaches the plants. The light, flat 

 iron rafters and small roof bats make our house 

 practically as light as day. 



Don't be fooled into buying an out of date house 

 for a little less money — it will cost more in the end.

ORNAMENTAL CONSERVATORY 

 AT NORTH BEVERLY, HASSc 



More and more residence conservatories are being built. It is but 

 the natural result of the fact that people want their flowers handy by, 

 where they can continually ei> joy them, no matter what the weather. 

 So the gardener brings in his best specimens from the greenhouse 

 and keeps the conservatory like a regular bloom bower. 

 It gives the gardener a ch nee to show what he can do. It is a con- 

 tinual reminder to the owner of the pleasure and importance of his 

 greenhouses. 



This one is a splendid example of the imposing architectural effect 

 possible with the Sectional Iron Frame Construction. 

 It is a decided get-away from the boxy effects of the usual conserva- 

 tory In the center is a gurgling fountain ; around the sides are 

 plant tables. The high sides give a spacious effect. 

 The conservatory opens off the breakfast room 

 Will gladly lend you an interior view, if you are interested,
