EVERY LUTTON GREENHOUSE 



Represents Three Problems Solved Right 



(1) THE ARCHITECTURAL PROBLEM. 

 — The materials of which a greenhouse is 

 constructed should be selected with a view 

 to suitability and durability and the design 

 should harmonize with the surroundings. 



LUTTON Greenhouses embody the highest archi- 

 tectural standards. The LUTTON Rust-proof V-l!ar 

 Frame is unequalled for durability and appearance 

 (it avoids the unsightly rust stains common to all 

 ordinary greenhouses). Everlasting slate and tile 

 benches are better and more economical in the long 

 run. Glass does not touch metal thereby eliminat- 

 ing a common source of glass breakage. 



(2) THE ENGINEERING PROBLEM.— 

 Temperature and ventilation should be un- 

 der perfect control and means should be 

 provided for draining away moisture which 

 condenses inside on the glass and rain, 

 snow or sleet outside. 



LUTTON heating plants are economical and effi- 

 cient: cast iron wall ventilators direct the cold air 

 over the heating pipes, so as not to blow directly 

 on the plants; the V-Bars have special provision for 

 carrying away the moisture that condenses on the 

 glass and the patented curved eave construction pre- 

 vents ice and snow from accumulating at tlie eaves. 



(3) THE HORTICULTURAL PROBLEM. 

 — This consists in giving the plants what 

 they need in ~ order to get RESULTS. 

 Besides heat, moisture, air, food and the 

 good care which the gardener gives to the 

 plants, they need light — lots of light. 



The wide spacing (24 inches) and compactness of 

 the V-Bar supporting members and the absence of 

 shadow-casting members at the eave line permit 

 every available sunbeam to reach the plants. The 

 advantages of these features are at once apparent by 

 comparing the LUTTON Greenhouse (on the right 

 in the view below with the house on the left. 



Who can tell whether the three problems are solved 

 right? Surely none are more competent to judge 

 than the growers. Letters of endorsement from well 

 known gardeners in various parts of the country are 

 on file for your inspection. LUTTON construction 

 always makes a strong appeal to owners as well, as 

 is evidenced by the large number of prominent men 

 who own LUTTON Greenhouses, — such as Mr. C. A. 

 Coffin, Pres. General Electric Co.; Mr. E. M. Herr, 

 Pres. Westinghouse Elec. & Mfg. Co.; Mr. F. S. 

 Wheeler, Pres. American Can Co.; .Mr. Galen L. 

 Stone of Boston. Mr. E. L. Ford of Detroit, etc.
