Greenhouse Thoughts 

 To Think Over 



WHEN you selected your site for your outdoors 

 garden you didn't dig up the ground in any old 

 spot and plant things any old way and expect 

 good results. You saw to it that the conditions were the 

 very best possible. You would be inclined to call a man 

 a " wee bit nutty " who didn't. Then tell us why do you 

 suppose it is, that some men when it comes to building 

 their interior garden — the greenhouse — do not give it 

 an equally careful consideration ? 



Wouldn't you think that the best house that the best con- 

 cern could put up would be none too good ? Wouldn't 

 you think that only the house giving the plants the great- 

 est amount of light and costing the least for repairs would 

 be the natural thing to consider ? 



Isn't it only logical that the experience greenhouse builder 

 knows his business better than just a builder? Isn't 

 it reasonable that with our modern plant combined with 

 our over twenty-five years of experience, that we should 

 have a superior h'use to offer you ? Then by ail thai is 

 reasonable reasoning, isn't it reasonable that you should 

 build either our Half Iron Frame or Iron Frame house ?

A SUGGESTI 



Suppose you should want your greenhouse located 

 where it will be rather prominent, necessitating its 

 being ornamental — you couldn't do better than build 

 one of our Curvilinear houses something like this one. 



There is an undeniable beauty and attractiveness 

 in the long sweeping curve of the roof lines, and you 

 well know they are splendid growing houses. 



As for the endurance of the Sectional Iron Frame 

 Construc'ion, all we can say is, that we haven't lived 

 long enough yet to know how long they will last. 

 Those erected over thirty years ago are still looking 

 decidedly youthful. 



By the way, have you the 1910 edition of our 

 Handy Hand Book ? Shan't we send you one ?

HERE is not a house built today, that has the

 our U-Bar Curved Eave.
