One of Our Farmstead Greenhouses 



And why do we call it a " Farmstead " ? Simply because it is a farm greenhouse attached 

 directly to the farmhouse. It only goes to show how indispensable greenhouses are get- 

 ting to be. Cold frames are all right in their way, but if you really want to raise top notch 

 plants, with the least trouble and a surety of success, then a greenhouse is the thing. 



Here and there we hear every once in a while of some one 

 putting lip an all wooden house ou a private place. Of course 

 you and I wonder at It In these days of tlie splendid iron 

 flame construction, with all their lightness, attractiveness and 

 wonderful endurance. 



Any iron frame house is better than a wooden one, hut there 

 are certain hard and fast reasons why Hltchlngs is actual- 

 ly the liest. Give us a chance to give you the reasons. As 

 a starter, send for the new catalog. It Is beautifully illus- 

 trated.
